1
Q

what are the 4 classes of sympathoplegic agents for HTN?

A
  1. Beta-Blockers
  2. Alpha-1 Blockers
  3. Alpha-2 Agonists
  4. Adrenergic blocking agents
2
Q

ACE-I’s are eliminated where, except for which one is hepatically eliminated

A

all renally eliminated

except fosinopril has some hepatic elimination

3
Q

nitric oxide has what effect on PVR

A

decreases PVR

nitric oxide is a vasodilator

4
Q

what catecholamine receptors are found on the presynaptic cell?

A

alpha2

5
Q

what receptors are on post synaptic vascular smooth muscle cells

A

alpha1 receptors

6
Q

what receptors are responsible for chronotropic action

A

beta1

7
Q

what receptor activation increases liver’s release of renin

A

beta 1

8
Q

what are beta blockers effect on chronotropic and inotropic effects?

A

decrease both

9
Q

chronotropic effects refers to what specifically?

A

heart reate

10
Q

inotropic effects refer to what specifically

A

stroke volume

11
Q

list the adverse effects of beta blockers

A
HBBEEF
hypoglycemia
bradycardia
exacerbate heart failure
bronchoconstriction (B2 rec)
depression
ED
fatigue
12
Q

how do BB’s worsen HF?

A

by decreasing CO

13
Q

which BB’s are B1 selective

A
NEVER BE BAMA
Nebivolol
Bisoprolol
Betaxolol
Acebutolol
Metroprolol
Atenolol
14
Q

why should BB’s not be stopped abruptly

A

receptor upregulation leads to rebound hypertension

Asthma
Diabetes

16
Q

what was the 1st BB?

A

Bupropion
H2-antagonists

18
Q

what is metoprolol’s extended release form

A

metoprolol succinate

19
Q

what is metoprolol’s immediate release form

A

metoprolol tartrate

20
Q

what type of metabolism does metoprolol go through?

A

hepatic metabolism

CYP2D6

21
Q

how is atenolol primarily excreted

A

unchanged in urine

22
Q

what 2 nonselective BB’s are excreted in urine unchanged

A

nadolol and carteolol

23
Q

name 2 cardioselective BB’s other than metoprolol metabolized by CYP2D6

A

betaxolol and bisoprolol

24
Q

name 2 cardioslective BB’s dosed once daily due to long half life

A

betaxolol and bisoprolol

25
Q

name 3 partial agonist BB’s?

A

pindolol
acebutolol
penbutolol

26
Q

define B-receptor partial agonist

A

binds to B receptor but produces little effect,
very little side effects
intrinsic sympathomoimetic activity

27
Q

name a cardioselective partial agonist BB

A

acebutolol

28
Q

what are the 2 inactive isomers of labetalol

A

SS and RS are inactive

29

30
Q

what is the potent non-selective beta blocking isomer of latetalol

A

RR

31
Q

list the 4 isomers mixed in laetalol

A
SS = inactive
RS = inactive
SR = potent alpha blocker
RR = poten non-selective B-blocker
32
Q

what are the two ismomers mixed for Carvedilol and there effects

A
