  4. *Adjust in renal impairment
A

Direct Arterial vasodilators (hydralazine minoxidil)

26
Q

Which meds?

Activates baroreceptors w/ compensatory increase in sympathetic outflow—increase in HR, CO, and renin release—tachyphylaxis and loss of efficacy—use with beta blocker or clonidine to prevent; diuretic for the sodium and water retention

A

Direct arterial vasodilators (hydralazine, minoxidil)

27

30
Q

What is an alternative use of minoxidil?

A

Male pattern baldness (both men and women)

31
Q

A
33
Q

Compelling indication for which meds?

HF with reduced EF

A

Standard therapy

  1. Diuretic w/ ACE/ARB
  2. then add BB

Add on if needed for BP control:

  1. Aldosterone antagonist
34
Q

Compelling indication for which meds?

post- MI

A

BB then add ACE/ARB

35
Q

Compelling indication for which meds?

Coronary Artery Disease

A

Standard therapy:

  1. BB
  2. then add ACE/ARB

Add on if needed for BP control

  1. CCB
  2. Thiazide
36
Q

Compelling indication for which meds?

Diabetes

A

Standard therapy: ACE or ARB

Add on if needed for BP control: CCB–>Thiazide, BB

37
Q

Compelling indication for which meds?

CKD

A

ACE/ARB

38
Q

Compelling indication for which meds?

Recurrent stroke prevention

A

Thiazide

or

Thiazide w/ ACE

39
Q

What is an osmotic diuretic

A

Mannitol

40
Q

How does Mannitol work

A

Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic

•remains in the lumen and “hold” water by virtue of its osmotic effect.

41
Q

What is the major location of action of Mannitol (osmotic diuretic)

A

PCT

42
Q

_______can also reduce brain volume and intracranial pressure by osmotically extracting water from the tissue into the blood. A similar effect occurs in the eye.

A

Mannitol (osmotic diuretic)

43
Q

What are the 3 clinical applications of osmotic diuretics (Mannitol)

A
  1. Solute overload in rhabdomyolisis, hemolysis
  2. Brain edema w/ coma
  3. Acute glaucoma
44
Q

ADEs of which meds?

Hyponatremia followed by hypernatremia, HA, N/V

A

Osmotic diuretics (Mannitol)

45
Q

________ facilitates water reabsorption from the collecting tubule by activation of V2 receptors, which stimulate adenylyl cyclase via Gs

•The increased cAMP causes the insertion of additional aquaporin AQP2 water channels into the luminal membrane in this part of the tubule

A

ADH
