ticlopidine Ticlid
clopidogrel Plavix
Inotropic Cardiac Glycosides digoxin (Linoxin)
Thiazides diuretics chlorothiazide (Diuril)
Thiazides diuretics hydrothiazide (Microzide)
Loop diuretics furosemide (Lasix)
Loop diuretics bumetadine (Bumex)
Potassium sparing diuretics spironolactone (Aldactone)
Potassium sparing diuretics amiloride (Midamore)
ACE inhibitor enalapril (Vasotec)
ACE inhibitor lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril)
ACE inhibitor catopril (Capoten)
Beta blockers propranolol (Inderal)
Beta blockers atenolol (Tenormin)
Calcium Channel Blockers nifedipine (Procardia)
Calcium Channel Blockers verapamil (Calan, Isoptin)
Thrombolytics steptokinase (Streptase)
Thrombolytics alteplase (TPA)
anticoagulants heparin
anticoagulants warfarin (Coumadin)
antiplatelets aspirin (ASA, Empirin)
antiplatelets ticlopidine (Ticlid)
antiplatelets clopidogrel (Plavix)
Isotropic Cardiac Glycosides MOA slows and strengthen heart, increases myocardial contractility, exhange of ca and na ions into myocardial cells
diuretics MOA decreases circulating blood volume inhibits reabsorption of sodium and other metabolites except for in potassium sparing
ACE inhibitors MOA block the effect of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system,reduces vasoconstriction, reduces sodium and water rentention, decreases cardiac workload and edema
Nitrates MOA relaxes smooth muscle and blood vessels resulting in vasodialation= decreased venous pressure, decrease venous return decrease blood volume, decrease o2 need and workload of the heart
beta blockers MOA blocks SNS stimulation, decreases HR, decreases BP, decreases myocardial contraction= decreased myocardial 02 demand
calcium channel blockers MOA improves blood supply to myocardium by dialating coronary arteries, decreases work load of heart by dialating peripheral arteries, prevents movement of extracellular ca into cells, decreases myocardial contralitity and slows av node conduction.
thrombolytics MOA act by stimulating conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. Plasmin is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down fibrin famework of thrombus
anticoagulants MOA inactivates clotting factors and thrombin so that thrombus formation is prevented. Does not dissolve existing thrombus but prevents it from getting larger
Warfarin (Coumadin) antidote Vit K
Heparin antidote protamine sulfate
antiplatelets MOA inhibits platelet aggregation and thrombus formation

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
