What are the indications for NO donors
|
Termination or prevention of stable, unstable, or Prinzmetal angina, hypertensive emergencies, CHF
|
|
What are the named of 1 group and 2 specific NO donors
|
Nitrates
Nitroglycerin Isosorbide |
|
What is the MOA of NO donors
|
Endothelial independent vasodilation
NO donation activates guanidyl cyclase and creates cGMP which dephosphorylates myosin light chains |
|
What are the 4 effects of NO donors?
|
Decreased venous return
Decreased LV wall tension Decreased afterload Coronary artery dilation |
|
What are the side effects of NO donors
|
Orthostatic hypotension
Headache Reflex Tachycardia |
|
What is the major contraindication of NO donors
|
Sildenifil or any other ED drug. They will cause a hypotensive crisis together
|
|
List 3 L-Type Calcium channel blockers.
|
Verapamil
Diltiazem Nefedipine |
|
What is the MOA of a calcium channel blocker
|
Negative ionotropic and chronotropic effects
Vasodilation |
|
Which Ca channel blocker has only moderate vasodilatory effects?
|
Diltiazem
|
|
What are the side effects of Verapamil and Diltiazem
|
Bradycardia (CHF+Block)
Hypotension |
|
What are the side effects of Nefedipine?
|
Reflex tachycardia, peripheral edema, hypotension (weak cardiac effects, strong peripheral effects)
Coronary artery steal in extreme dilation |
|
What is the major contraindication of Calcium channel blockers?
|
CHF, their negative ionotropic effect could further compromise the myocardium
|
|
What are the indications of B-antagonists?
|
Angina
HTN Post MI Aneurysm MV Prolapse Hyperthyroidism Migraine |
|
What are the indications of Calcium channel blockers?
|
Angina
HTN Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Migraine Raynaud's Phenomonon |
|
What are the 3 cardiac selective B blockers (B1)
|
Metoprolol, Atenolol, Esmolol
|
|
What are 3 non-selective B blockers?
|
Propanolol, Nadolol, Timolol
|
|
What is the MOA of B-Blockers
|
Inhibition of the B receptor results in reduced cAMP levels affecting:
Reduced L-Type Ca channel opening Reduced Ca reuptake by the SR Reduced pacemaker inward current |
|
What are the side effects of B-Blockers?
|
Bronchospasm
Vasospasm Bradycardia CNS effects (lethargy, depression) ED |
|
What are contraindications of B-Blockers?
|
Asthema
Bradycardia Heart Block CHF PVD (watch diabetics, they can't tell they are hypoglycemic on them) |
