Answer 26

Diltiazem HCI

Question 27

for Mild-Moderate Hypertension & Angina Pectoris

Answer 27

Amlodipine

Question 28

Inhibits Sodium-Potassium ATPase, promoting increased force of Cardiac Contraction, Cardiac Output, & Tissue Perfusion. Decreases Ventricular Rate.

Answer 28

Digoxin (MOA)

Question 29

Decreases Myocardial Demand for Oxygen. Decreases Preload by Dilating Veins, indirectly decreasing Afterload.

Answer 29

Nitroglycerin (MOA)

Question 30

Action is on the Renal Distal Tubules, promoting Sodium. Potassium, & Water Excretion & Decreasing Preload & Cardiac Output.

Answer 30

Hydrochlorothiazide (MOA)

Question 31

also Decreases Edema. Acts on Arterioles, causing Vasodilation, thus decreasing Blood Pressure

Answer 31

Hydrochlorothiazide (MOA)

Question 32

Inhibition of Sodium & Water Reabsorption from Loop of Henle & Distal Renal Tubules. Potassium, Magnesium, & Calcium also may be Excreted.

Answer 32

Furosemide (MOA)

Question 33

Acts on distal Renal tubules to promote Sodium & Water Excretion & Potassium Retention.

Answer 33

Spironolactone (MOA)

Question 34

Promotes Blood Pressure Reduction via Beta1-Blocking effect.

Answer 34

Metoprolol (MOA)

Question 35

Dilates Peripheral Blood Vessels by Blocking Alpha-Adrenergic Receptors.

Answer 35

Prazosin HCI (MOA)

Question 36

Alpha2 Agonists Decrease Sympathetic Response from Brainstem to Peripheral Vessels. They stimulate the Alpha2 Receptors, decreasing sympathetic Activity; Increases Vagus Activity; Decreases CO; & Decreases Epi., Norepinephrine, & Renin Release. Resulting in Reduced Peripheral Vascular Resistance & Increased Vasodilation.

Answer 36

Clonidine HCI (MOA)

Question 37

Ace Inhibitors inhibit ACE, which in turn inhibits the formation of Angiotensin II (Vasoconstrictor) & Blocks release of Aldosterone (promotes Na+ retention & K+ excretion). When aldosterone is blocked, Na+ is excreted along w/ Water & K+ is Retained.

Answer 37

Lisinopril (MOA)

Question 38

Prevent release of Aldosterone (sodium-retaining hormone); act on renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). ARBs block angiotensin I receptors found in many tissues, causing Vasodilation & decrease Peripheral Resistance.

Answer 38

Losartan (MOA)

Question 39

Slow calcium channels are found in Myocardium & Vascular Smooth Muscle. Free calcium increases Muscle Contractility, Peripheral Resistance, & BP. Calcium Channel Blockers block the calcium channel in the VSM, promoting Vasodilation.

Answer 39

Diltiazem Amlodipine (MOA)

Question 40

Decreases peripheral vascular resistance (vasodilation).

Answer 40

Diltiazem Amlodipine (MOA)
