Question | Answer |
---|---|
dilates coronary arteries, improves collateral blood flow to ischemic areas, causes relaxation of arteriole and smooth muscle | organic nitrates |
relaxes smooth muscle arteriole, lowers myocardial oxygen, lowers HR | calcium channel blocker |
prevents further extension of existing thrombi or new clot formation | parenteral anti-coagulant |
prevents DVT, produces anticoagulant, does not affect aPTT | LMWH anti-coagulant |
prevents further clotting | oral anti-coagulant |
inhibits platelet aggregration | anti-platelet |
degrades fibrin clot | thrombolytic agent |
reduces LDL, increases HDL | statin therapy |
removes large amounts of water, produces diuresis, lowers BP | loop diuretic |
produces diuresis, lowers BP | potassium sparing diuretic |
lowers BP, reduces edema | thiazide diuretic |
antihypertensive, vasodilator HTN; reduces peripheral arterial, resistance CHF; increases cardiac output lowers BP | ACE inhibitor |
antiangial, antiarrythmic, antihypertensive, slows HR, lowers BP, lowers cardiac output, lowers myocardial demand | beta blocker |
decreases cardiac contractility, relaxes smooth muscle in heart and arterioles, increases HR and cardiac output, lowers BP | calcium channel blocker |
causes heart to beat slower and more forcefully, improving cardiac output, increases strength of contraction | cardiac glycosides |
