Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Alpha Adrenergic Antagonist Agents   Reduce perohperal vascular tone by blocking alpha-1-adrenergic receptors; causes dilation and decrease in BP  
🗑
ACE Inhibitor Agents   Suppresses enzyme that converts angiotensin 1 into angiotensin 2; decreasing blood pressure and after load  
🗑
Anticoagulant Agents   Inhibit platelet aggregation and thrombus formation  
🗑
Anti-hyperlipidemia Agents   AKA Statins; lipid modifying agents; inhibit anzyme aciton in cholesterol synthesis, break down LDL, decrease triglycerides, and increase HDL  
🗑
Anti-thrombotic Agents   inhibit platelet aggregation and clot formation  
🗑
Beta Blocker Agents   Block B-Adrenergic receptors; decrease myocardial oxygen demand by decreasing heart rate and contractility  
🗑
Calcium Channel Blocker Agents   Decrease calcium entry int o calcium smooth mm cells resulting in diminished myocardial contraction, vasodilation, and oxygen demand  
🗑
Diuretic Agents   Increase secretion of sodium and urine => reduction in plasma volume and BP; thiazide, loop and potassium sparing  
🗑
Nitrate Agents   Decrease ischemia through smooth mm relaxation and dilation of peripheral vessels  
🗑
Positive Inotropic Agents   Increase force and velocity of myocardial contraction; slow the heart rate; decrease conduction velocity through AV node and decrease degree of activation of SNS  
🗑
Thrombolytic Agents   Facilitate clot dissolution through conversion of plasminogen to plasmin; plasmin breaks down clots and opens blood vessels  
🗑
