Answer 2

Sudden and abrupt increase in blood pressure when a person stands up.

Question 3

Answer 3

Caused by another medical condition (Kidney, arteries, etc.)

Question 4

Agonists

Answer 4

A substance initiating a physiological response when combined with a receptor and activates the receptors in the brain.

Question 5

Hypotension

Answer 5

Low blood pressure

Question 6

Adrenergic Receptors

Answer 6

Large class of proteins collectively known as G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR)

Question 7

Agina

Answer 7

Chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart

Question 8

Antagonists

Answer 8

Drug specific binder and a blocker for other drug binding.

Question 9

Antihypertensive

Answer 9

Class of drugs that Treat High Blood Pressure

Question 10

Adrenergic blocking medication

Answer 10

Class of beta-adrenergic receptors and prevent binding of norepinephrine at these receptors. Prevent sympathetic stimulation of heart and reduce Heart rate, cardiac contractility, conduction velocity, and relaxation rate which decreases myocardial oxygen demand.

Question 11

Alpha Agonist

Answer 11

Sympathomimetic agents that selectively stimulate alpha adrenergic receptors.

Question 12

Alpha Blockers

Answer 12

Class of drugs that is Used to treat high blood pressure

-Zosin) (prozosin, doxazosin,terazosin

Question 13

Beta 1 Blocker

Answer 13

-OLOL

Manage cardiac arrhythmias and protect the heart from a second heart attack

Question 14

Beta 2 Blockers

Answer 14

-OLOL
Agonist/Antagonist
Protects heart from second heart attack

Question 15

Cardiac Output

Answer 15

Volume of blood pumped by the heart.

Question 16

Centrally Acting Adrenergic Medications

Answer 16

Stimulates CNS

Guanabenz Acetates agonists and -ine ex. Clonidine, guanfacine, and methyldopa.

Question 17

Dysrhythmias

Answer 17

Disturbance of rhythm in the brain waves or heartbeat

Question 18

Vasodilation

Answer 18

Dilation of blood vessels which decrease blood pressure

Question 19

sympatholytics

Answer 19

Blocking transmission of impulses from the adrenergic(sympathetic) post ganglion is fibers to effector organs or tissues, inhibiting such sympathetic functions as smooth muscle contraction and glandular secretion.
Nerve activity.
Drugs- Alpha1 agonist,ace inhibitors, VMAT inhibitors, imidazoline receptors agonist. -ine

Question 20

Selective

Answer 20

Highly specific in activity or effect selective

Thymoglobulin (prodrugs) etc.

Question 21

NONSELECTIVE

Answer 21

Not selective to binding

Beta blockers, NSAIDS etc are non selective drugs

Question 22

Intrinsic Sympathomimetic Activity (ISA)

Answer 22

Referring to beta blockers that are weak agonists of one or more b-adrenoceptor subtypes. Given to decrease side effects and improve tolerability.

Question 23

First Dose Phenomenon

Answer 23

Refers to Alpha 1 antagonists following initiation of treatment can result in lightheaded nests, dizziness, and syncope.
-zosin, Ace inhibitors, other cardiovascular agents. HYPOTENSION, BRADYCARDIA, SYSTOLIC PRESSURE LESS THAN 50.

Question 24

Dysrhythmia

Answer 24

Abnormal rhythm in electrical activity of heart and brain. (Jet lag)
Atrial fibs.
(Digoxin, diltiazem,propranolol, lidocaine, quinidine Na channels blockers, beta blockers, k+ channel blockers, Ca+ b;lockers, Vaal stimulation)
