25
why can cardiac output increase with vasodilatory agents with CHF patients (compared to healthy patients)
less afterload so the heart will have an easier time pumping out blood
26
what happens do BP and HR with vasodilators in CHF patients + why
they dont fall and no reflex tachycardia | because reduced peripheral resistance is balanced out by increased cardiac output
27
where is angiotensinogen released
liver
28
where is renin released
kidneys
29
where does angiotensin converting enzyme come from
lungs
30
what does ACE do
convers angiotensin 1 into angiotensin2
31
what does renin do
converts angiotensinogen into andgiotension 1
32
what does angiotension do to vessels
vasoconstrict
33
what does angiotension do to aldosterone release
increase
34
where is aldosterone released from
adrenal cortex
35
what does what does angiotension do to K+
increase loss
36
what does angiotension do to Na+
increase retention
37
what does angiotension do to H2O
increase retention
38
what are 4 main effects of ACE inhibibots (vessels and molecules)
vasodilation K+ retention H2O land Na+ loss
39
what do ACE inhibitors do to angiotensin 2 formation
inhibit
40
what does angiotension 2 do to bradykinin
prevents its catabolism
41
what is the role of bradykinin
potent activator of NO release from endothelium
42
what does bradykinin in lungs do
causes the dry cough that is a side effect of ACE inhibitors
43
what causes the dry cough with ACE inhibitors
they prevent breakdown of bradykinin which causes dry cough when acting in lungs
44
besides the cough, what are other bad side effects of ACE inhibitors
makes things taste weird
45
what are 2 ACE inhibitor drug names
enalapril and captopril
46
what do enalapril and captopril do in general
stop AG2 synthesis
47
what do enalapril and captopril do to afterload
decrease
48
what do enalapril and captopril do to preload
decrease
49
how can what do enalapril and captopril help with oedema
they increase Na+ and H2O loss (inhibits aldosterone)
50
what happens to cardiac output in heart failure
decrease
51
what happens to venous return in heart failure
decrease
52
what are 2 drugs classes that are often combined to dreat CHF
ACE inhibitor and diuretic
53
why is it good to use low doses of both ACE inhibitor and diuretic instead of a high dose of 1
you get additive therapeutic effects and less side effects (sometimes side effects cancel out)
54
which side effects cancel out with ACE inhibitor and diuretic (which diuretics)
thiazide diuretics promore K+ loss and ACE inhibitors promote K+ retention
55
what is losartan (2 things)
vasodilator | angiotension receptor antagonist
56
what are amrinone and milrinone (3) +What do they do to vessels and heart
phosphoriesterase inhibitors | vasodilate and stimulate heart
57
what do amrinone and milrinon do to contraction of heart
increase
58
what do amrinone and milrinon do to contraction of vascular smooth muscle
reduce
59
how do beta agonists work on cardiac muscle stimulation
cAMP, PKA, increase Ca++ through L type
60
if B1 agonist stimulate heart and B2 relax vascular smooth muscle but both are Gs, how does this work?
there are different contractile mechanisms of smooth and cardiac muscle
61
is myocin light chain kinase in heart
no
62
is myosin light chain kinase in vascular smooth muscle
yes
63
how do B2 agonists cause vascular smooth muscle relaxation
elevated cAMP inactivates MLCK by phosphorylating it so then it cant contract
64
what are dobutamine and dopamine (mechanism of action)
beta1 agonists
65
why can beta blockers be used for chronic failure (dobutamine and dopamine (b1 agonists) are also used)?
it can help calm down the crazy sympathetic outflow
66
what are 4 beneficial effects of beta blockers and CHF
- attenuation of adverse effects of high [NA] - decreased HR - inhibit mitogenic activity of catecholamines - lower afterload by reducing renin release
67
why is it good that beta blockers inhibit mitogenic activity of catecholamines
because sometimes the vessels grow in the wrong areas and stuff which is bad
68
what receptors does carvedilol target
beta 1 beta 2 alpha 1 all block
69
what is the benefit of carvedilol over beta blockers
it also lowers afterload (because it blocks alpha1)
70
what are 4 therapeutic approaches to high BP
- diuretics - sympatholytic agents - direct vasodilators - ACE inhibitors (or any drug that can block production or action of angiotensin)
71
what do diuretics do to vessels (sometimes)
can vasodilate
72
what does depletion of Na+ from diuretics do to blood vessels stiffness
help reduce it
73
what do thiazides to in the kidney (mechanism of action in nephron)
inhibit NaCl reabsorption by distal convoluted tubule
74
what is metoprolol
b1 selective antagonist
75
why can metoprolol be better than propranolol
acute vasodilatory action from b2 receptors may reduce effectiveness ( you dont wanna block those )
76
what are 4 main things that beta blockers do (MECHANISM)
- inhibit renin release - inhibit presynaptic Beta that usually increase NA release - reduce sympathetic outflow (possible actions in CNS) - slows HR during exercise and stress
77
is it better to work on the angiotensin or adrenergic system to change BP
angiotensin system is connected just to BP while the adrenergic is more linked throughout the whole body (so angiotensin is better)
78
what class is hydralazine is
vasodilator
79
what does hydralazine do (3)
arteriolar vasodilation, lowers BP and reflex tachycardia
80
what do you usually combine with hydralazine and why
beta blocker to help prevent the reflex tachycardia
81
what is nitroprusside (how and when is it used)
powerful arteriolar and venous vasodilator used in hypertension emergencies
82
what are 6 types of vasodilators
``` hydralazine nitroprusside verapamil nifedipine dihydropyridines ca channel blockers ```
83
are ca channel blockers vasodilators
yes
84
what are 3 agents that block the production / agent of angiotensin
captopril enalapril losartan
85
what is captopril
ACE inhibitor
86
what is enalapril
ACE inhibitor
87
what is losartan
angiontensin receptor blocker
88
does captopril make the dry cough
yes
89
does enalapril make the dry cough
yes
90
does losartan make the dry cough
no
