What are the uses of beta-blockers ?

Supraventricular tachycardia slows ventricular rate During atrial fibrillation and flutter

In glow coma it decreases aqueous humour secretion

At hypertension it decreases cardiac outputs and renin by blocking beta-1 receptors at JGA

@congestive heart failure it slows chronic failure progression

@angina pectoris by decreasing heartrate and contractility and therefore decreasing oxygen consumption For myocardial infarction in decreases mortality

What is the mechanism for beta-blockers ?

Decreases cyclic AMP which leads to decreased calcium currents which leads to Decreased phase 4 of pacemaker slope which leads to suppressing of abnormal pacemaker leading to AV sensitivity increasing PR interval therefore a D crease in AV conduction velocity

What effects do a C inhibitors and sartans have?

Stuff first

Stop NA/H + activity
Prevent construction of different arterial at glomerulus therefore decreasing GFP NGF are which has negative feedback on rennin
Stops aldosterone therefore stops sodium absorption and therefore stops water retention
Prevent increase in total peripheral resistance as less angiotensin to acting on receptors at the smooth-muscle in the media
Prevent ADH therefore water absorption

Teratorn at fetus renal malformation
Increased create wind you to decreased GF are
Hypotension and hyperkalaemia

What are the contra indication is for ACE inhibitors?

Don’t give to bilateral renal artery stenosis due to already D creased GFR.
ACE inhibitor Will massively decreased GFR

Don’t give to see one esterase inhibitor deficiency due to worsening cough and angio-oedema

What is the mechanism for calcium channel blockers?

Blocks L-type calcium channels of myocyte and smooth muscle leading to D creased contractility
D creases smooth muscle tone therefore dilate

D creases conduction velocity therefore increases effective refractory period therefore increases PR interval

Which calcium channel blockers are best for the vascular smooth muscle ?

Dihydropyridine’s = Amlodipine and nifedipine

Better than

Non-dihydropyridine = dilitiazem and vermapril

Which Carson channel blockers are better for the heart?

Non-dihydropyridine = VermaPrill and dilitiazem

What is nimodipone used for?

Study These Flashcards

Prevent subarachnoid haemorrhage by preventing Cerebral vasospasm

What are dihydropyridined used for?

What are non-dihydropyridines used for?

Study These Flashcards

For dihydropyridine = Raynaud angina and hypertension

For NON dihydropyridine = HTN, angina and atrial fibrillation

What are the toxicities of calcium channel blockers ?

CCH A PFD Cardiac depression and constipation, HYPERprolactinaemia, AV block, peripheral oedema, flushing and dizziness

What's nifedipine similar to ?

Nitrates

What is the vermapril similar to ?

Beta-blockers

What is the mechanism for thiazide diuretics?

Inhibits sodium chloride reabsorption at early distal tubule Therefore high concentration of sodium inside the nephron Therefore decreasing the nephrons dilutes incapacity Therefore increased sodium excretion

What are the uses for thiazide diuretics?

``` Congestive heart failure Hypertension Diabetes insipidus nephrogenic Idiopathic hypercalciuria Osteoporosis ```

What are the toxicity is caused by thiazide diuretics?

What other contraindications for thiazide diuretics ?

Thiazide is a sulphur allergic do not take

What is the mechanism for hydralazine ?

In a hypertensive emergency what to drugs are used ?

Nitroprusside and fenoldopam

What does nitroprusside do? | What does fenoldopam do?

Nitroprusside releases nitric oxide Which causes an increase in cyclically GMP which causes dilation of the arterioles more than the veins therefore decreased afterload Fenoldopam is it dopamine one agonist It causes vasodilation of coronary peripheral renal and Splanchnic arterioles therefore decreasing blood pressure D creasing of the renal vascular smooth muscle also increases natriuresis

Give the names of two nitrates? What are their mechanisms ?

What are nitrate used in?

Pulmonary oedema, acute coronary syndrome, angina | PAAn

What causes Monday disease? What happens in Monday disease?

Nitro glycerin and isosorbide dinitrate Monday to Friday use the spray due to stress at work therefore developed tolerance for vasodilating action During the weekend you lose tolerance due to no stress therefore you do not use it therefore lose tolerance On Monday start work again therefore start stress therefore re-exposure causes tachycardia dizziness and headache

What's are the three classes of sodium channel blockers and what do they each do ?

1a lengthens AP duration 1B decreases at AP duration 1C has no effect on capital a P and promotes sodium current depression more so than group 1a and 1B

What is the mechanism for antiarrhythmics sodium channel blockers class 1a?

Increases action potential duration Causing increase in effective refractory period Causing an increase in the Q-T interval This QT interval increase can cause torsade de pointes's at Dizopyramide

What are class 1A sodium channel blockers used for?

For atrial and ventricular arrhythmias especially re-entrant and ectopic SVT and VT

``` What's are the class 1A sodium channel blockers names? What's toxicities do these drugs cause? ```

Quinidine causes Cinchonism =headache and tinnitus Procainamide causes SLE like syndrome Diso pyramid causes heart failure thrombocytopenia and torsades de points increased QT interval

What is the mechanism for class 1B drugs? and what are their class 1B drugs called?

Decrease action potential duration and preferentially affect ischaemic/depolarised Purkinje and ventricular tissue

CNS stimulation | Cardiovascular depression

``` What is the mechanism for class 1C sodium channel blockers? Give the name of two sodium channel blockers ? ```

Flecainide and propafenone

What is the mechanism for class 1C sodium channel blockers?

Prolongs the refractory period

What our class 1C drugs flecsinimide and propafenone used for?

SVT – Atrial fibrillation

``` Toxicities of sodium channel blockers class W1C flicainimide and propafenone? Contraindications of class 1c sodium channel blockers? ```

Proarrhythmic | Don't use if have structural/ischaemic Capital HD

Give the names of four potassium channel blockers? | What is the mechanism of potassium channel blockers?

Cutting channel blockers increased the action potential duration therefore increasing the effective refractory period therefore increasing Q-T interval

What are potassium channel blocker is used for?

Atrial fibrillation and flutter | Ventricular tachycardia

What are the toxicities caused by potassium channel blockers?

Sotalol can cause XS beta-blockade Therefore cause torsades the pointes Ibutilide causes torsade de pointes's Amiodarone causes corneal deposits skin deposits hepatotoxicity hypertension bradycardia congestive heart failure and heartblock and hypo/hyperthyroidism Amiodarone alters lipid membrane

Give the names of other antiarrhythmics? | Their mechanisms?

Adenosine increases potassium out of cells causing hyper polarised cell And decreased intracellular calcium Used for supraventricular tachycardia Toxicity causes chest pain hypotension and flushing Magnesium Is for torsades de points and digitoxin toxicity
