adverse effect of diuretics
increase serum lipids and decrease insulin insensility (caution with DM may worsen condition)

what combination is good for decreasing CV events in HTN patients
amiodipine and ACE I
what drug is effective in patients with high renin activity - young patients
propranolol - BB
SE propranolol
lipid soluble - cross BBB - nightmares, induce glucose intolerance, acute withdrawl symoms
MOA of BB
decrease heart contractility, increase TPR but eventially decrease TPR because of renin-ang system
which BB is useful in asthmatic HTN patients
metroprolol
CI propranolol
asthma, peripheral vascular diseae, AV block
atenolol
B1 antagonist, once daily, less lipid soluble
nadolol
non selective B antagonist
used for mild-moderate HTN, in pts taking vasodilators to rpevent SNS reflex tachycaria
BB (metroprolol, atenolol, nadolol
what drug is used to control BP in patients with underlying heart disease and can also be used for high renin patients
BB - metroprolol, atenolol, nadolol
function of ACE I
promotes vasodilation, reduce fluid retention, slow progression of diabetic neuropathy and renal diseae in diabetics
ACE I used to tx HTN patients
enalapril
ramipril
lisinopril
captorpil
which ACEI contains sulfhydryl
captorpil - cause taste changes
which ACEI does should be reduced in pts with renal insufficiency
enalapril
what is the first choice drug for HTN in patients with CHF, renal disease, DM
ACE-I then ARBs (if problems with ACEI)
ACEI SE
severe hypotension in hypovolumic patients

hyperkalemia exacerbated by K sparing dieurects

angiodema

may not be effective in AA population
CI ACE I
pregnant - suppress cell proliferation in 2nd and 3rd trimester
what is first line tx for HTN in patients with CHF, renal disease and DM who have dry cough/angiodema
ARBs
peripheral selective alpha1 antagonists
-zosin
prazosin
terazosin
doxazosin
MOA peripheral alpha 1 antagonists
block alpha 1 from binding NE from nerve terminal, decrease vascular tone, PVR and BP
SE prazosin
postural dizziness, first dose tolerance to rxn
which drugs are used for benign prostate hypertrophy as well as HTN
doxazosin, terazosin
adrenergic neuron blocking agents MOA
deplete NE from presynaptic, postganglionic sympathetic nerve terminals so there is less NE to respond to SNS stimualation leading to decreased CO and TPR
adrenergic neuron blocking agents types?
guanethidine
reserpine
what drug acts as a False NT to deplete NE stores
guanethidine
what type of drugs are used as last resort for refractory HTN
adrenergic neuron blocking agents (guanethidine, reserpine)
reserpine MOA
blocks transport of DA into storage vessicles - depletes body's store of catecholamines and serotonin - decresae sympathetic tone, TPR and CO
SE adrenergic neuron blocking agents
orthostatic HTN -> bradycardia, salt and water retention -> bloating impotence and diarrhea (guanethidine)
drug interactions adrenergic neuron blocking agents
drugs that alter amine pump function can block site of uptake - TCA, MOAI, ephedrine, amphetamines, phenothiazines
central alpha 2 adrenergic receptor agonists?
methyldopa, clonidine
MOA alpha 2 adrenergic agonists
cross BBB to stimulate alpha 2 receptors on BS vasomotor center -> inhibits sympathetic outflow -> decrease vasoconstriction, HR, contractility but increases parasympathetic outflow to periphery - decredase HR, CO, TPR, plasma renin and baroreceptor function
what drug is approved for tx of HTN in pregnant women?
methyldopa
what drug is useful in dx of pheochromocytomia in HTN pts
