🗑
anti HTN   betablockers, ace inhibitors  
🗑
betablockers   usually end in "ol"-side effects- decreased endurance, keep abt a 3 on Borg's scale, fatigue, lethargy, hypotension & may mask signs of hypoglycemia  
🗑
ace inhibitors   end in "pril"-these & angiotinsin blockers (end in sartan"-good to decrease blood pressure-side effects-dry cough  
🗑
diuretics   lasix-may have to stay close to bathroom-increased urination, increased risk of falls @ night & dehydration and weakness  
🗑
calcium channel blockers   usually end in "il" or "pine"- side effects- peripheral edema & hypotension  
🗑
atrial fibrillation/arrhythmias   prevalence:2.66 million people have a fib. is most common type of arrhythmia  
🗑
atrial fibrillation/arrhythmias risk factors   HTN, CHF, DM, hyperthyroidism, drug abuse & advanced age  
🗑
atrial fibrillation/arrhythmias complications   stroke- most common significant complication, light-headedness, HF if persistent & severe. the rx has it's own complications  
🗑
atrial fibrillation/arrhythmias meds   anti-arrhythmics (amiodarone-pulmonary, thyroid, and ocular toxicities, drug interactions, heart block. multaq-dronedarone-rhythm. sotalol-rate/rhythm. CCB-rate.) blood thinners-do not rx a fib-used to prevent likelyhood of stroke

🗑
subcutaneous anitcoagulants   lovenox (enoxaparin), arixtra (fondaparinux)-prevention & rx of DVT/PE while hospitalized-coumadin bridging therapy-less intensive monitoring & can be performed at home with little training
