18
Q

Postassium Sparing

A

Triamterne. weak antiHTN
ADEs: Hyperkalemia in CKD & DM. Nephrolithiasis, Renal Dysfunction.
CAUTION: combo with ACE, ARB, DRI, K supplements.
CONTRA: Hepatic disease, renal failure, hyperkalemia.

19
Q

Aldosterone antagonis

A 
Spironolactone.
Side effects:
Hyperkalemia
Gynecomastia
Strong Anti-HTN
CONTRA: renal impair, DM with protenuria, hyperkalemia
20
Q

Non-dihydropyridines

A

Calcium Channel Blocker (-dipines): More Cardio. Verapamil/Diltiazem.
ADEs: Bradycardia, Constipation, gingival hyperplasia, worse HF.

21
Q

dihydropyridines

A

Calcium Channel Blocker (-dipines): More vasodilator. ADEs: Peripheral edema, headache, flushing

22
Q

better meds for blacks and elderly

A

CCB, THIAZ

23
Q

Ace inhibitors

A

-pril. AngI-AngII, Bradykinin = vasodilator, Dry cough.
GOOD in patients w/: CKD, DM, HF, post-MI.
ADEs: Cough, hyperkalemia, Angioedema, Acute renal failure.
CONTRA: Pregs, angioedema, renal arterial stenosis.

24
Q

ARBS

A

-sartan. Angiotension block. vasodilate.
GOOD in Pts w/: CKD, DM, HF.
ADEs: Hyperkalemia, Angioedema, Acute renal failure.
CONTRA: Preg, renal artery strenosis.

25
Direct Renin Inhibitor
Aliskiren. Inhibits Renin. ADEs: Hyperkalemia, Renal impared, Hypersentativity, Angioedema. Combo: dont combine with ACE or ARB CONTRA: Preg, ACE, or ARB
26
Beta blockers
olol- Block adrenoreceptos and catecholamines = decrease CO, PVR, and Renin. CONTRA: AV block, cardiogenic shock, HF, Hypotension. COPD, Astham, DM, Depression. Avoid abrupt cessation = death after MI/HF ADEs: exersize intolerance, fatigue, bradycardia, sex dysf. depressoin, airway blocked, PVR
27
Atenolol. Metoprolol, Nabivolol
Cardio selective BB,
28
Propranolol, Nadolol, Labetolol, Carvedilol
Non-cardio selective BB
29
Central Alpha agonist
Clonidine, Methyldopa. Stim alpha = reduce sympathetics. Avoid abrupt stop = rebound HTN. GOOD for pregs. ADEs: Anticholinergic, Bradycardia, Orthohypo, Dizzy, Rebound HTN.
30
Methyldopa
Alpha agonist, decrease sympathetics. Good in Pregs. ADEs: Hepatitis, Hemolitic anemia, fever. Contra = liver disease
31
Alpha blockers
-zosin. Peripheral smooth muscle relax = decease PVR & BP. No monotherapy Good in Mild-moderate HTN. ADEs: HF, BPH, Orthohypo, reflex tachy, dizzi
32
When starting HTN meds, you must
reassess at 1 month, increase dose, add 2nd drug, refer. Monitor serum K and creatinine.
33
AHA/ACC first line drugs
THIAZ, CCB, ACE, ARB
34
Goal of Patients with stable ischemic heart disease
BP<130/80 Use BB, ACE, ARB. IF no good + Angina. Add CCB, dihydro IF no good w/o Angina. Add CCB - dihydro, OR THIAZ, OR Spironolactone
35
Goal of Patients with DM
BP<130/80. | All classes useful. With albuminuria = ACE or ARB
36
Goal of Patient with CKD
BP<130/80. W/o albunimuria = 1st line (THZ, ACE, ARB, CCB) W/ Albuminuria = ACE, if cant then ARB
37
Goal of Preg Patient
Methyldopa, Nifedipine, Labetalol | NO ACE, ARB, DRI
38
Poor prognosis indicators
``` CVD - High pulse pressure, men>55, Women>65, smoke, lipids, glucose, abnl GTT, DM, Fx CVD, abdominal obesity, LVH Cerebralvascular disease - carotid wall thickening/plaques, Kidney - low GFR, albumenuria, Retinopathy Vascular Disease, ABI>.9 ```
39
What is resistant HTN
max dose on 3 drugs + thiaz . Reassess secondary HTN/Specialist
40
HTN emergency
>180/120. Urgent if asymptomatic (non-adherence to meds, eats salt) Emergency HTN - end organ damage
41
End organ damage
``` Cerebrovascular: -encephalopathy, brain infarct, hemorrage. Cardiac - Dissection, LV failure, MI Renal - Acute glomerulonephritis ```
42
Overall goal of End organ failure
gradual reduction to <160/100 - too fast = MI, Cerebral ischimia, infacrt No sublingual nifedipine
43
resting reduces HTN by
10-20mm
44
Emergency HTN should go to
ICU, and reduce 25% of HTN per hour to 160/100
