Question | Answer |
---|---|
Thiazides (antihypertensives) | dilates arterioles + inhibits reabsorption |
Diuretics | excretion of sodium and water |
Diuretics | used in heart failure patients |
Calcium channel blockers | relax smooth muscle + vasospastic anginas |
Beta Blockers | block RAAS + negative inotrope + lowers BP + decreases cardiac work load + 1st line for angina |
Nitrates | decrease oxygen demand + increase oxygen supply by vasodilation + relax smooth muscle + decrease spams + negative inotrope |
ACE Inhibitors | block RAAS + decrease periphreal resistance and BP + decrease cardiac workload + monitor hydration |
Cardiac Glycosides | always monitor HR and BP + increase effeciency of heart by increasing cardiac output + positive inotrope |
Thrombolytics | dissolves clots obstructing coronary artery |
antidysthythmics | treat and prevent disturbances in cardiac rhythm |
Heparin | monitor aPTT + antidote is protamine sulfate |
Lovenox | low mol. wt Heparin |
Niacin | 2-3 g + lowers cholesterol |
Statins | most potent LDL lowering drug + must monitor liver enzymes |
Amiodaron (Cordaron) | artrial dysrhythmias + last resort |
Digoxin (Loanoxin) | cardiac glycoside + HF/ positive inotrope |
Lidocane | ventricular arrhythmias |
Retavase (Reteplase) | thrombolytic |
Nitroglycerin | vasopastic anginas |
Isosorbide dinitrate | HF (vasodilator) + increases blood flow |
Carvedilol (Coreg) | beta blocker + HF/lowers BP + reduce cardiac workload |
Aldactone (Spinolactone) | K+ sparring diuretic |
Amiloride (Midamor) | K+ sparring diuretic |
Triamterene (Dyrenium) | K+ sparring diuretic |
