Q

What is the MOA of beta blockers?

Study These Flashcards
A

Inhibit beta-1, decreasing HR and contractility, which decreases cardiac O2 demand

22
Q

When would you use beta blockers?

Study These Flashcards
A

Stable, unstable, and silent angina; NOT a vasodilator

23
Q

What are the side effects of beta blockers?

Study These Flashcards
A

Excess cardiac depression when used with Ca channel blocker

24
Q

What is the MOA of Amlodipine?

Study These Flashcards
A

Dihydropyridine; blocks L-type Ca channels > no Ca influx in vascular smooth muscle, cardiac nodal and muscle cells; causes arteriolar dilation and less cardiac depression

25
When would you use Amlodipine?
Stable angina esp. vasospastic angina (Prinzmetal's)
26
What are the side effects of Amlodipine?
