Question
Answer
normal physiology of calcium channel   is COUPLED with B-1 receptors---epi/nor/agonist binds B-1---cAMP 2nd messenger opens Ca channel---Ca influx  
🗑
once Ca in cell, what are heat targets/actions   SA node/HR-----AV node/conduction velocity-----myocardium/force of contraction  
🗑
B-1 receptors/Ca channels also located in artery smooth muscle, what is their action   in arteries, normal action is to vasocon periph arteries/inc bp--------vasoCON coronary arteries/dec perfusion  
🗑
so, when we BLOCK Ca channels, what is that effect on the heart   Ca can't get in--> SA/DECREASED HR-----AV/DECREASED force of conduction-----myocardium/DECREASED force of contraction  
🗑
when we BLOCK Ca channels in arteries, what is effect   arteries vasoDIL--> increased coronary perfusion---peripheral vasoDIL/dec bp  
🗑
two classes of calcium channel blockers   dihydropyridines ---- other class (verapamil, diltiazem)  
🗑
MOA of verapamil (other class, drug 1)   blocks Ca channels in BOTH artery VSM (vascular smooth muscle) AND heart. net effect to dec bp/inc cardiac perfusion and dec HR/conductivity/force of contraction  
🗑
verapamil indiacted for   indicated for essential HTN, CAD, angina pectoris, dysrhyth, tachy, migraine prophylaxis  
🗑
compliance limiting SE verapamil   constipation - also blocks GI Ca channels  
🗑
SEs we would expect from verapamil based on MOA   expect CARDIAC SEs ----overshoot if too high of dose-------brady----heart block (too little conduction)  
🗑
Lesser SEs expected from verapamil   vasodil--> flushing/diz/HA/mild periph edema-------GINGIVAL HYPERPLASIA  
🗑
MOA of diltiazem (other class, drug 2)   MOA is similar to verapamil with less potent effects on heart -----sim action on VSM to dec bp, inc coronary perfusion  
🗑
are verapamil and diltiazem safe for RF pts   yes, they are metabilized in the liver  
🗑
MOA of dihydriopyridienes = DHPs----AKA dipines   they ONLY act on B-1/Calcium channels on VSM. NO, NONE, NADA, ZIP action on heart except baroreceptor reflex which I am not getting into  
🗑
DHP - dihydropyridine indicated for   HTN and angina pectoris. No indications for cardiac  
🗑
ADRs DHP dihydropyridine   ANKLE EDEMA-----flush/HA/dizz ---some reflex tachy bwo inotropic effects, which we are not discussing  
🗑
Name 6 DHPs ---dihydropyridines   meet the dipine family---clevidipine---nisoldipine---felodipine---amlodipine---isradipine---nicardipine  
🗑
what 1 DHP is ONLY, ONLY, ONLY to be used to prevent cerebral vasospasm in subarachnoid bleeds   nimodipine  
🗑
primary MOA of DHPs   major role block B-1/Ca Channels in VSM. Virtualy no direct effect on heart (indirect, but I am so not talking about it)  
🗑
DHP given IV only   clevidipine  
🗑
DHP 5% bioavailability   nisoldipine  
🗑
DHP 20% bioavailability   felodipine  
🗑
DHP very long acting   amlodipine  
🗑
DHPs - 2 - nothing remarkable   isradipine, nicardipine  
🗑
DHP that can't be used for HTN   nimodipine - only subarachnoid bleed-prevent vasospasm  
🗑
What CCB has MOST ADRs   verapimil wins this prize  
🗑
which CCB has middle ADRs   diltiazem is runner up  
🗑
which CCB class has least ADRs   DHP class of dihydropiridines = dipines has fewest ADRs  
🗑
which CCB is most likely to cause ADR of heart block   verapamil, followed by diltiazepam  
🗑
which CCB is most likely to cause constipation   verapamil, less likely diltiazepam  
🗑
which CCB is most likely to cause ankle edema   any DHP dipipine . . .except nimodipine which is only used for . . .you know it already! quiz answer was nifedipine  
🗑
