Question | Answer |
effect on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system | lowers BP, improves oxygenation to heart muscle, decreases remodeling of heart muscle after MI or HF, reduces adverse effects of diabetes on the kidney |
thought to be a factor in the cough associated with ACEIs | bradykinin |
mechanism of ARBs | angiotensin II receptor blockers |
do ARBs affect bradykinin | no therefore they do not have side effect of cough as ACEIs do |
do ACEIs and ARBs produce reflex tachycardia | no |
ACEIs help to prevent diabetic nephropathy by | improved renal hemodynamics, diminished proteinuria, retarded glomerular hypertrophy, slower rate of decline in GFR |
ACEIs | benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), Enalapril (Vasotec), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril(Prinivil,Zestril), moexipril (Univasc), perindopril (Aceon), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril(Altace), trandolaparil(Mavik) |
ARBs | candesartan(Atacand), eprosartan(Teveten), irbesartan(Avapro), losartan(Cozaar), olmesartan(Benicar), telmisartan(Micardis), valsartan(Diovan) |
only short-acting ACEI | Captropril (Capoten) |
kidney is primary organ of excretion for ACEIs except for | fosinopril (Monopril) and moexipril(Univasc) |
3 absolute contraindications for ACEIs | 1. bilateral renal artery stenosis 2. angioedema 3. pregnancy |
what must be adequate before starting these drugs to prevent renal dysfunction | hydration status |
what electrolyte imbalance contraindicates use | hyperkalemia |
most common side adverse drug reactions | those associated with hypotension (dizziness, h/a, fatigue, orthostatic hypotension) |
concurrent use of K supplements, K sparing diuretics or cyclosporine may result in | hyperkalemia |
drug of choice for treatment of HTN in which pts | young, white, DM, HF, MI |
diuretics with ACEIs and ARBs | diuretics should be stopped for 2-3 days prior to starting then reintroduced sin data suggest that all pts with HTN should be on a diuretic |
Which diuretic is best choice with ACEIs | thiazides because reduced aldosterone secretion associated with ARBs may cause hyperkalemia |
in pts with DM II, HTN, and microalbuminuria ACEIs and ARBs have been shown to delay the progression to | macroalbuminuria |
in pts with DMII, HTN, macroalbuminuria, and renal insufficiency ARBs have been shown to delay the progression to | diabetic nephropathy |
for DM, dual blockade with ACEIs and ARBs(safe but requires monitoring for hyperkalemia) has been shown to statistically significant reduction in | albuminuria and BP |
recommended for use for all patients with | chronic stable angina, CAD to prevent MI or death and to reduce symptoms |
Medications recommended post MI | ACEI, beta blocker, antiplatelet therapy, lipid lowering therapy |
ARBs affect not only ATII receptors but | ATI receptors |
may be beneficial to use combo of ACEIs and ARBs post MI because | bradykinin has cardioprotective effects, and provides complete inhibition of ATII |
ACEIs should be started regardless early after MI in stable high risk pts and continued indefinitely for | pts with LV dysfunction (EF<40%) |
ACEIs and ARBs principal mechanism in treating HF is | their role in reducing remodeling |
a cornerstone of therapy for HF pts in all guidelines | ACEIs |
ACEIs address all causes of HF | CAD, HTN, |
in HF pts who cannot tolerate an ACEI, what other combination is equally effective in reducing morbidity and mortality from CHF | hydralazine with a long acting nitrate (Bidil) |
initiate tx with short acting captopril to determing pt tolerance then | convert to a longer acting to improve adherence |
which ACEI can be mixed in foods for those who have difficulty swallowing | ramipril (Altace) |
when initiating therapy check BP when | before and within 1 hour of first dose |
monitor creatinine levels when | before, 1 week, monthly x 3 months, with any dose change |
ACEI should be reduced if creatinine is > | 2.5mg/dL |
monitor CBC when | before, monthly x 3-6months. d/c if neutrophil count is < 1000/mm3 |
many salt substitutes contain | potassium |
rash may occur with which ACEI and is not a class phenomenon | captopril |
