What drug do you use to treat pre HTN?
NONE
What drug is usually used to treat stage one HTN?
usually start with a thiazide diuretic and
commonly had an ACE (either separately or fixed-
dose combinations
Angiotensin-­‐converting enzyme inhibitors-­
”The Prils”
– Lisinopril (Prinivil or Zestril) – Enalapril (Vasotec) – Captopril (Capoten) – Ramipril (Altace) – Quinapril (Accupril)
which Angiotensin-­‐converting enzyme inhibitors- can be used in ppl with liver dysfunction?
Lisinopril and Captopril
What are other used for Angiotensin-­‐converting enzyme inhibitors?
• Decrease the risk of MI’s in high risk patients b/c of anti‐inflammatory effects
• Stroke prevention
• Nephro (renal) protective for pt’s with DM
• Reduce the incidence of Type 2 diabetes
• Prevention of diabetic retinopathy in Type 1 DM
side effects of Angiotensin-­‐converting enzyme inhibitors-­
• Hypotension (First-­‐dose hypotensive effect may occur)
• Dizziness, HA, fatigue, mood changes, impaired taste
• Hyperkalemia
• Hypoglycemia (especially in pt’s already taking hypoglycemic drugs)
• Dry, nonproduc)ve cough
• Angioedema
ARB’s-­‐Angiotensin Receptor Blockers
losartan (Cozaar, Hyzaar) valsartan (Diovan)
irbesartan (Avapro)
Candesartan (Atacand)
Allow angiotensin I to be converted to angiotensin II, but block the receptors that receive or ‘pick up’ angiotensin II
ARB’s-­‐Angiotensin Receptor Blockers
Block vasoconstriction and release of aldosterone
ARB’s-­‐Angiotensin Receptor Blockers
side effects of ARB’s-­‐Angiotensin Receptor Blockers
• Hypotension
• Hyperkalemia less likely
• Does not cause cough and angioedema rare
• May cause insomnia, diarrhea, nasal congestion, URI’s, fatigue
• Effect the RAAS by:
– Directly blocking the beginning of RAAS...Renin blocker
– Approved in 2008-­‐Aliskiren (tekturna)
– Aliskerin + hydrocholorthiazide=Tekturna HCT
Direct Renin Inhibitors
ACE’s, ARB’s and DRI’s contraindicated in ______
pregnancy
side effects of Direct Renin Inhibitors
Diarrhea, cough, flu like symptoms & rash
Action: inhibits the movement of calcium ions across the cell membrane resulting in relaxation of vascular smooth muscle producing vasodilation and thus ↓BP
Calcium Channel Blockers-­‐CCB’s
work as anti-hypertensives, anti-anginals, anti-arrhythmics
Calcium Channel Blockers-­‐CCB’s
• Amlodipine-­‐(Norvasc)-­‐most commonly used
• Nifedipine (Procardia)
• Diltiazem (Cardizem)
Calcium Channel Blockers-­‐CCB's
Calcium Channel Blockers-­‐CCB's side effects
Cardiovascular
– Hypotension, palpitations, reflex tachycardia
• Gastrointestinal
– Constipation, nausea
• Other
– Rash, flushing, peripheral edema, dermatitis – May increase serum level of digoxin
The Beta Blockers:
“Olols, alols, ilols”
Non Selective Beta Blockers
– *Carvedilol (Coreg)
– *Propranolol (Inderal)
– *Nadolol (Corgard)
Only Beta Blocker safe during pregancy
Labetalol (Trandate or Normodyne)
– Reduce BP by reducing heart rate through beta1-­‐blockade
– Cause reduced secretion of renin
– Long-­‐term use causes reduced peripheral vascular
resistance
– Result: decreased blood pressure
Beta-­‐blockers-­‐Peripherally acting Beta adrenergics
the BB’s that are cardio-­‐”selective” will be those that act directly on the B1 receptors on the heart muscle blocking the effects of epinephrine...the key won’t work. so.....
decrease in HR and contractility thus decrease in CO,BP and workload on the heart
These work on both the B1 & B2 receptors and can wreak havoc in certain populations
Non-­‐Selective BB’s
Centrally acting alpha2-­‐receptor agonists
• clonidine (Catapres)
po/transdermal

methyldopa (Aldomet)
Can be used for hypertension in pregnancy
HTN that has not responded to newer, safer antihypertensives
Peripherally acting dual alpha1-­‐ and beta-­‐receptor blockers
carvedilol (coreg)
Peripherally acting alpha1-­‐receptor agonists
– Treatment of hypertension; doxazosin (Cardura)
– Used to relieve symptoms of BPH • tamsulosin (Flomax)
