35
Diuretic: SIADH
Demeclocycline
36
Decreases normal tone via Na-K-ATPase Decrease HR Increase CO Increase BP
Digoxin
37
Digoxin
Increase CO = Increased baroreflex = Decreased SNS = vasodilation
38
Primary adverse side fx of digoxin
``` Bigemini Toxicity (GI early) Blue vision Narrow therapeutic range Tox: increased Ca decreased K ```
39
Primarily used for end stage CHF - beta 1 specific | Decreased filling, increased O2 consumption
Dopamine
40
DOC for HTN and CHF (decreases mortality) Increase diuretic effectiveness
ACE-I (prils) | ARBs (sartans)
41
DOC for BPH (benign prostatic hypertrophy)
``` Alpha blockers (zosins) -First dose phenomenon ```
42
Used for HTN early CHF (decreases HRm increases EF) DOES NOT increase renin
Beta blockers (olols) - monotherapy for young white males - NOT for END STAGE CHF
43

46
HTN emergencies w/o reflex tachycardia
Labetolol Adverse: hepatotoxic
47

Dihydropyridines
52
High vessel effect w/ low heart effect | Adverse: gingival hyperplasia
Nefidipine
53
