Question
Answer
Firstline tx in HTN: MOA (eg, diuretics, BB)   show
🗑
Most potent type of diuretics & MOA =   show
🗑
Thiazide diuretics MOA =   show
🗑
show Volume depletion, low K+ & Na, hyperglycemia / insulin resistance; hyperuricemia/gout, photosensitivity, decreased placental flow. May increase serum cholesterol & digoxin  
🗑
show Controlled, gradual lowering of BP; 10% decrease in first hour, then 15% over next 3–12 hrs to BP of no less than 160/110; rapid correction of BP to normal levels puts pt at high risk for worsening cerebral, renal or cardiac ischemia  
🗑
show HTN is reversible if cause is eliminated (ie, pituitary adenoma, corticosteroid Rx)  
🗑
Beta blocker: MOA   show
🗑
ACEI AEs   show
🗑
ARBs: MOA   show
🗑
ARBs AEs   show
🗑
show Inhibit Ca+ influx -> block vascular smooth mx contractility -> vasodilatation & afterload reduction (aoso preload). Also coronary vasodilatation: CCBs are used in coronary artery spasm (Prinzmetal, Raynaud)  
🗑
show DHPs more vascular selective (fewer cardiac conduction fx): tx HTN/angina. NonDHPs more cardio-selective with more inhibitory fx on SA/AV node (CAUTION in CHF)  
🗑
DHP CCBs (amlodipine, nifedipine): AEs   show
🗑
Non-DHP CCBs (diltiazem, verapamil): AEs   show
🗑
HTN lifestyle mods   show
🗑
show at most 20/10 mm Hg (so most pts on more than 1 drug)  
🗑
show (a) tachycardia; (b) bronchodilation  
🗑
show Inderal (propranolol) and atenolol  
🗑
show nadolol  
🗑
BBs are contraindicated in:   show
🗑
CCBs are contraindicated in:   show
🗑
First Line Tx for HTN   show
🗑
show Inhibit ACE in lung -> block formation of angiotensin II -> increased vasodilatation and Na+ loss  
🗑
show lower blood renin levels  
🗑
Rx of choice for DM nephropathy   show
🗑
show central and peripheral  
🗑
show prevent adrenergic outflow from the brain, by stimulating inhibitory alpha-2 receptors (eg, clonidine)  
🗑
Peripheral presynaptic adrenergic release inhibitors (anti-adrenergic meds) MOA   show
🗑
show rebound HTN  
🗑
show 1st: methyldopa (Aldomet). 2nd: hydralazine  
🗑
Secondary indications of anti-adrenergic meds   show
🗑
Nitrates MOA   show
🗑
Nitrates AEs   show
🗑
show Firstline: ACEI, ARB, CCB, thiazide diuretics  
🗑
show CCBs and thiazide diuretics  
🗑
show ACEI or ARB  
🗑
show nitroprusside (CI in PG) or labetolol; to 110 over several hours  
🗑
HTN Compelling Indications: CHF   show
🗑
show Beta; ACEI; CCB; Diuretic  
🗑
HTN Compelling Indications: Post-MI   show
🗑
HTN Compelling Indications: DM   show
🗑
show ACEI; Diuretic  
🗑
JNC 8: in patients >60, start tx at:   show
🗑
JNC 8: in patients <60, start tx at:   show
🗑
show 1) HCTZ; 2) Atenolol; 3) captopril or verapamil  
🗑
show 1 ACE; 2 BB (atenolol) or verapamil or HCTZ; 3 clonidine  
🗑
Tx for BPH   show
🗑
Tx for migraine (w/HTN meds):   show
🗑
show HCTZ  
🗑
show Atenolol  
🗑
show 1 Methyldopa; 2 hydralazine  
🗑
show Renal US  
🗑
show BB  
🗑
show ARB  
🗑
show ARB  
🗑
HTN tx if BP >20/10 over goal:   show
🗑
