Question
Answer
show Diuretics, ACE-I's, ARB's, Ca-channel blockers  
🗑
Drug categories for treating CHF?   show
🗑
show ACE inhibitors  
🗑
show Nifedipine, verapamil, diltiazem, amlodipine MOA: reduce muscular contractility Use: HTN, angina, Prinzmetal's, Raynaud's, arrhythmias (Not Nifedipine) Tox: A/V block, peripheral edema, flushing, dizziness, constipation  
🗑
show Nifedipine ("Not Nif")  
🗑
Which calcium channel blockers should be used preferentially for vascular smooth muscle?   show
🗑
show Verapamil ("Verapamil =Whic Ventricle")  
🗑
show Verapamil, diltiazem MOA: decrease conduction velocity and increase PR-interval Use for SVT.  
🗑
show Increase cGMP -> smooth muscle relaxation Vasodilates ARTERIES > VEINS, so reduces afterload. Use: severe HTN Tox: reflex tachycardia (co-administer beta-blockers), fluid retention, nausea, headache, angina, Lupus-like syndrome.  
🗑
What should be given with hydralazine and why?   show
🗑
What should be given in the case of malignant hypertension?   show
🗑
show Short acting release of NO -> cGMP Use: Malignant HTN Tox: releases CN-  
🗑
Fenoldopam: MOA, Use, SFX   show
🗑
Nitrates: MOA, Use, Tox   show
🗑
show Tolerance to nitrates is built up by industrial exposure during the work week. This tolerance is lost on Monday, causing tachycardia, dizziness, and headache.  
🗑
show Beta blockers, to prevent reflex tachycardia.  
🗑
Cardiac glycosides: MOA, Use   show
🗑
show Cholinergic effects: GI, nausea, blurry vision Increased PR, decreased QT, AV block Hyperkalemia Rx: normalize K, give lidocaine, anti-digoxin Ig, Mg2+  
🗑
show Stains, niacin (B3), bile acid resins, cholesterol absorption blockers, and Fibrates  
🗑
show HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, "-statin" Decrease LDL, Trig; increase HDL Tox: hepatotoxicity and rhabdomyolysis  
🗑
show Inhibit lipolysis in adipose tissue, reduce hepatic VLDL secretion. Decrease LDL and Trig; increase HDL Tox: flushed face, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia (gout)  
🗑
show Prevent intestinal reabsorption of bile acids. Begin with "chol-", e.g. cholestyramine. Decrease LDL; increase Trig and HDL Tox: nasty taste, GI upset, decreased absorption of ADEK, cholesterol gallstones  
🗑
show Ezetimibe: acts on brush border. Decrease LDL. Tox: diarrhea  
🗑
show Upregulates LPL -> increase triglyceride clearance. Contain "-fibr-", e.g. gemfibrozil. Tox: Myositis, hepatotoxicity, cholesterol gallstones  
🗑
What is the mnemonic for anti-arrhythmics?   show
🗑
show Slow or block Na+ conduction, decreasing the slope of Phase 0, and increasing the threshold for firing. Hyperkalemia increases the toxicity of all Class I anti-arrhythmics.  
🗑
Class IA anti-arrhythmics: Names, Use, Tox   show
🗑
Toxic side effect of Quinidine?   show
🗑
show SLE-like syndrome  
🗑
Toxic side effects of Disopyramide?   show
🗑
show Lidocaine, Mexiletene, Tocainide "I'd Buy Lido's Mexican Tacos" Use: Decrease AP duration in ischemic, ventricular Purkinje cells. Use post-MI or post-digitalis-induced toxicity. Tox: local anesthetic, CNS/CV depression  
🗑
show Class IB: Lidocaine  
🗑
Class 1C anti-arrhythmics: Names, Use, Tox   show
🗑
show Beta blockers: decrease SA and AV nodal activity, lengthening PR. End in "-olol". Use: VTach, SVT, slowing down ventricles during Afib or Aflutter Tox: Impotence, asthma, bradycardia, sedation, masking of hypoglycemia  
🗑
show Dyslipidemia, give glucagon to correct  
🗑
Toxic side effect of Propanolol?   show
🗑
show Potassium-channel blockers: increase AP duration, ERP, and QT interval (-> Torsades) Use when other anti-arrhythmics fail  
🗑
show "AIDS": Amiodarone Ibutilide Dofetilide Sotalol  
🗑
Toxic side effects of amiodarone?   show
🗑
show Torsades  
🗑
How do Class IV anti-arrhythmics work? What is their toxicity?   show
🗑
Which Calcium channel blockers should be used for arrhythmias?   show
🗑
show Adenosine  
🗑
How does adenosine work?   show
🗑
show Theophylline and caffeine  
🗑
show Mg2+  
🗑
