Antihypertensive Flashcards
(111 cards)
• Hypertension is the most common
CV disease
Management of hypertension
Non-pharmacologic management; includes
4 things
- -Diet(increase consumption of potassium and calcium with moderate decrease in sodium intake).
- -Exercise.
- -Weight reduction.
- -Stop smoking & alcohol intake
Management of hypertension
Pharmacologic:
5 things
- Diuretics.
- Sympatholytics.
- Calcium channel blockers (CCBs)
- Inhibitors of angiotensin (ACEI &ARAs/ARBs).
- Direct vasodilators
Hypertension cause ———- like ——-4things
Target organ damage cerebrovascular accidents congestive heart failure MI renal damage
Inc. CO affect ————more
Systolic pressure
Inc. PR affect ——–more
Diastolic pressure
• Normal regulation of BP:
BP=—————-
COXPR
Hypertension : 5-10% is secondary to ————
9 things
renal disease pheochromocytoma Cushing hyperaldosteronism or drugs (either VC as phenylephrine in flu medication volume expanders as glucocorticoids NSAlDs and oral contraceptives
Essential or primary where no———–
where no specific cause can be found.
chronic use of Morphine cause ———-
Salt and Water retention which cause hypertension
- Normal regulation of BP:
* CO= ————-
HR X stroke volume
• BP is regulated by:———————,
long term control ——————-
- Baroreceptors: rapid, responsible for moment to moment control.
- Renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS): kidney is responsible for long term control of BP through this system.
Antihypertensive drugs act by —————–
interfering with these normal mechanisms.
Potassium is considered as ——–
Vasorelaxent
Smoking cause hypertension due to——
Nicotine which is vasoconstrictive
————-Act primarily by depleting body sodium stores thus reducing blood volume & CO.Peripheral resistance(PR) may ——————-
Diuretics - increase
Diuretic:Long term treatment causes CO to return to ———-while PR—–
normal - decrease
Diuretics: Thiazides are used in ————-to———– hypertension
mild to moderate
while loop diuretics are used in———— and in patients with———- or those ———–.
severe type- renal affection(not renal failure )-not responding to other diuretics
In more severe hypertension they are combined with —————–or———- to control tendency towards Na retention caused by these drugs—————
vasodilators (VDs) or sympatholytic agents- vasodilator and sympatholytic
The least expensive ———-
diuretics
Sympathoplegic or sympatholytic drugs :Centrally acting sympathoplegic drugs (—————):
alpha methyl dopa & clonidine
centrally acting Sympathoplegic or sympatholytic have mechanism :2 things
- decerese sympathetic outflow from vasopressor centers in the brain stem
- Bind to central alpha2 adrenoceptors(dec. norepinephrine) ( decreasing central sympathetic outflow)
1st choice in hypertensive pregnant patients is ————–
alpha methyl dopa
