|
bronchoconstriction (in asthmatics), sedation, hypoglycemia (diabetes)

carvedilol
|
"carve a niche in CHF"

nicardopine
|
"in a cardiac emergency."

Which calcium blockers are more selective for vascular tissue?
|
the dihydropyridines: amlodipine, nifedipine (short acting), felodipine
|
dilate peripherine.

Acts as an aldosterone antagonist and is rapidly gaining accceptance in the treatment of heart failure
|
What is Eplerenone
|
A player like spironolactone.
|
|
A CNS-acting antihypertensive that decreases sympathetic tone by stimulation of alpha 2 adrenergic receptors in CNS vasomotor areas. Causes vasodilation. (Side effs: dry mounth, sedation)

|
what is doxazosin
|
also terazocin and prazocin
"hypertension is hazardous in arterioles and veins" |
|
What are the side effects of the alpha 1 adrenergic antagonists?
|
edema, dizziness, headache and postural hypotension
|
related to vasodilation
|
|
What are the adrenergic neuronal blockers that work by interfering with NE storage vesicles, causing depletion of NE? Side effs?
|
Guanethidine, Reserpine.
diarrhea and parkinsonian effects, sedation. Contraind in depression. |
The iguana and the reserpent have a venom that blocks NE.
