Q

ACE inhibitors example

25
angiotensin receptor blockers
block angiotensin receptor that causes vasoconstriction
26
angiotensin receptor blockers example
losartan
27
antiadrenergic agents example
minipress
28
antiadrenergic agents
HTN | central acting alpha adrenergic agent
29
peripheral vasodilator
HTN with CHF | increases HR and cardiac output
30
coronary vasodilators
treatment of angina | dilate blood vessels and stop attacks of angina
31
angina pectoris
most common angina
32
nitrates
most common for relief of angina pectoris
33
nitrates example
nitroglycerin
34
antilipemic agents
>200 mg/dL
35
LDL
bad cholesterol
36
HDL
good cholesterol
37
statins
inhibit the enzyme for cholesterol snthesis 1st choice
38
bile acid sequestrants example
questran
39
bile acid sequestrants
bind bile acids in the intestine
40
nicotinic acid (niacin)
reduces liver synthesis and inhibits the mobilization of free fatty acids from the peripheral tissues -raise HDL
41
fibric acid derivatives (fibrates)
help with overall cholesterol, and extremely high triglycerides helps with diabetes
42
cholesterol absorption inhibitors example
zetia
43
cholesterol absorption inhibitors
reduces LDL levels by inhibiting interstinal absorption of both dietary and biliary cholesterol, blocking its transport in the sm intestine
44
anithrombotic agents
try to break up blood clots
45
anticoagulants
act on different steps
46
warfarin
alters vitamin K
47
new oral anticoagulants
more money, but better advantages
48
heparin
out dated | anticoagulant
49
platelet inhibitor therapy
inhibit platelet clumping
50
dipyridamole (persantine)
inhibits platelet aggregation
51
aspirin
prevention of thrombosis
52
adenosine diphosphate receptor antagonists example
plavix
53
adenosine diphosphate receptor antagonists
block the activation of the platelet's receptor surface, inhibiting platelet activation
54
thromboyltic agents
dissolve clot after they have formed
55
thromybolytic agents example
alteplase
56
hematopoiesis
formation, differentiation, and maturation of blood cells into specific cell lines
57
erythropoiesis stimulating agents
regulation of the production and development of blood cells, in the bone marrow
58
colony stimulating factors
work on neutrophils in host defense needs
