was taking it for diabetic neuropathy or insomnia
36
tizanidine
alpha 2 adrenergic agonist, used for spasticity in MS
37
i man sitting around develops chest pain, he is treated and it shows that drugs x lowers BP and HR, but then he devlops shortness of breath
beta blocker being used in the emergent treatment of MI
38
a man his develops flushing, diaphoresis, nausea, with a BP of 100/70 and hr of 55. Pupils are constricted but reactive to light. was treat for?
atonic bladder
39
a man has a stroke (65 years old) and is prescribed benzo for muscle spasticity, what drug should he avoid?
avoid other sedating agents.
alcohol, barbituates, neuroleptics, and 1st generation antihistamines
40
a man has sudden SOB and chest tightness. has a history of noncomliant htn. bibasilar crackles. bp is 195/115
htn emergency
treated with nitroglycerin mechanism -> myosin dephosphorylation
41
a diabetic taking lisinopril has try cough
give a sartan
42
man gets treated for afib and devlops lightheadedness, weakness, and presyncope.
he has sinus bradycardia, qt prolongation, self resolved torsades was cause of symptoms
he was on sotalol
his afib was giving him palpitations and chest pressure, and were paroxysmal. why he started the meds.
43
a woman gets pneumonia and then devlops hypotension and lactic acidosis. she is treated with norepi IV and tissues around IV blanch and become cold and hard. What should you inject?
the norepinephrine has extravasated and is causing intense alpha 1 effects
block with phentolamine
44
nitrates and angina
coronary arterioles are already maximally dilates in general so hard to dilate more (just a tid bit)
45
adenosine mechanism
acts on at1 receptors -> causese K to go out, hyperpolzarized membrane stays negative longer in the sinus and av node
slow sinus rate and decreased av node conduction
46
a 23 yearold man comes in complaing of SOB and chest pain while running. family history of an uncle who died suddenly. he has a crescnedo decrescedno systolic murmur. how would you treat this patient.
its HCM
negative inotropes are beneficial in treating the LVOT and also his angina. so use beta blockers (meoprolol) and nondehydropirying CCB (verapamil)
AVOID
Vasodilators such as dyhydropyridien CCbs, nitroglycerine, ACE inhibitors -> decreased vascular resistance) i think nitroglycerin would also have decreased preload
Dueretics -> decreased preload
All of the above will worse the LVOT
47
a man has an MI its complicated with sever acute HF how to treat
dobutamine
works on b1 receptors and minimal activity on b2 and a1
positive inotrope
weakly positive chronotrope
both of these things -> increased o2 consumption, but which can worsen iscemia, but in this case benefits outweight
also causes a mild vasodilation because the b2 activity is greater than b1
the net results are a decrease in systemic vascular resistance and an increase in contractility without a change in arterial pressure
48
dopamine factoids
remember d1 - b1 - a1
low dose -> increased in renal blood flow and gfr
medium does -> now beta 1 leads to increase contractility and pulse pressure and systolic BP rise while diastolic stays the same.
higher doses -> co decreases due to increased TPR from a1 effects
49
a man has a total cholesterol of 290 and triglycerides of 675 what to treat?
treat with fibrate because of the moderately eleveated triglycerides > 50 mg/dl
PPAR-A receptor activation decreases hepativc VLDL production and increases LPL activitive
50
mechanism of omega 3 fatty acids
lower triglycerides by decreasing VLDL output and decreasing production of apob
51
43 year old woman has ocasional squeezing sensatin lasting for ten to 15 minutes. not htn but active smoke. no ischemia with exercise. an ambulatroy ecg monitor shows transient st elevation in 1 avl and v1 v4 at night.. what would provoke this symptoms?
this woman has pritzmetal angina
avoid dihydroergotamine (an ergot alkaloid i think like bromocriptine) which is used to treat migraine headaches. it is vasospastic
also avoid triptans
52
triggers of pritzmetal
cigs, coaine,amphetamine, dihydroergotamine/triptans.
53
treatment of pritzmetal
tobacco and drug cessation and vasodilators (nitrates and CCBs)
54
a1 blockers and -dipines work mainly?
on arterioles
55
drugs that prolong the qt
class 1a and 3 antiarrythymics, antibiotics (macrolides and fluroquinolones, methadone, and antipsychotics (eg haloperidol)
56
cortisol and epinephrine are?
cortisol shows permissiveness because of upregulation of a1.
it isnt synergistic because it has no intrinsice vasoactive properties of its own
57
question involving phenyleprhine infusino like in FA.
| what would happen?
decreased AV node conduction velocity.
points out that the kidneys have alpha 1 and their perfusion would decrease with phenyephrine infusion, just as would the sphlanich circ would too
pheynyephrine would increased increased PCWP due to increased arteriolar and venous constriction
58
what to treatnonischemic cardiomyopathy HF wiht?
same as ischemic
59
how to fix first doese hypotension of alpha blockers?
give small doses act first
60

63
CCB adverse
dizziness and lightheadedness
64
a third effect of beta blockers you have been wondering about
they decrease vascular resistance by decreasing RAAS and endothelin (did not explain endotheln)
do not initiate B blockers in acute heart failure

person on phosdieastarse inhibitors
right ventricular infarction
66
nitrates can cause
lgith headedness
67
sildenafil acts similar too?

man treated with two drugs for angina and gets low bp and hr
beta blockers and CCB
72
a drug that inccreases TPR, increases systolic BP, decreases pulse pressure, and decreases HR. what am i?
phenylephrine
Pulse pressure decreases because of reflex decrease in stroke volume and increased afterload
73
a woman gets a venous thromboembolism in pregnancy, how to treat
DOC is LMWH like enoxaparin
74

| 2. heavy meal
84
a person has a gastrojejunumy where the duodenum is resected, what will be deficient?
iron
85
what to give a cystic fibrosis pt for malabsorption?
pancreatice lipase
86
what are the independent effects of a bile acid resin and statin on cholesterol synthesis?
bile acid increase and statin decreases
statins works by decreasing intra liver cholesterol and upreguatling LDL receptors
the bile acid resin binds to the bile and causes its excretion, this upregulates more bile to be made, this causes increased LDL receptors and overall a decrease in choelsterol in the liver -> activates cholesterol synthesis
use statin to counteract and cause SYNERGISTIC action
