why do HTN drugs fail
ppl dont take them

**ppl lower BP nad decerase the number of drugs needed by: loosing weight, no smoke, no salt, exercise
there are SO many HTN drugs, can they be combined
sure thing

combining can decrease dose needed and decerase side effects
any new HTN drugs must...
decrease BO by 10%, new drugs must be as effective as the old ones
shoudl we decrease pressure fast
nope, needs to be gradual

**also cant be too low. coronary perfusion pressure is the diastolic pressure and needs to be more than 90
in pts ikder than 50 what is more important, systolic or diastolic
systolic >140 is BAD

2. sympatholytics
3. direct vasodilators
4. Angiotensin inhibitor
tell me about the use of thiazides for HTN

1. effectiveness
2. mech
3, side effects
1. used as DOC, lower BP in 4-60% of peeps

2. decrease Na stores --> decrease blood volume. Long term will activate K channels --> decreased resistance. decreased Na content in SM

3. not common bc hte dose is lower to tx HTN than for diuresis. but... impotence, gout, hypokalemic alkalosis, increase renin. decreased glucose tolerance and increased lipids.

**indapamide: also a dilator
if a person is impotent, no longer tolerant to glucose, has increased lipids, hypokalemic alkalosis, and hyperurecemia and their BP is 120/80 what might they be taking

what was the short term and long term effect of getting such great BP
thiazides

Long Term:decreased Na in SM cell --> decreased preipheral resistance

SHort Term: decreased na leads to decreased blood volume to decrease BP

**when thiazides are used for HTN there are less side effects when they are used as diuretics bc they are used in lower doses for HTN tx. but still impotence with lower dose
thiazides are more effective in who
Aferican Americans (might have said caucasians, but its African Americans)
Old

**impotence side effects
ok so diuretics for HTN

1. Thiazide
2. Loop
3. K sparring
1. THiazides: first choice, good in old blacks, low dose with dilators, ACEi or b blockers to counteract Na/Fluid retention. cheap. not good for sulfonamide allergies

2. Loop: severe cases only in pts with renal insufficiency or CHF

3. K sparring: in combination with thiazides/loops to decrease K loss. NOT used in combination with other K sparring drugs like ACEi adn ARB
ok so thiazides are first line drugs for HTN, when might you not use them
its a sulfonamide so not used in ppl with allergies
K sparring diuretics shoudlnt be combined with what other HTN drugs, what are they combined with
ACEi, ARB: these are also K sparring

**good to combine them with K loosing diuretics like loop adn thiazides
Angiotensin --> Angiotensin I --> angiotensin II

what enzyme stim, what drug
ANG --> ANG I: stim by Renin. Aliskiren is a renin inhibitor

ANG I --> ANG II: stim by ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) blocked by ACE inhibitors like captopril
what do sympatholytic drugs do to baroreceptor reflex
activate baroreceptor reflex and cause Na retention

**bind to NE containing secretory vesicles and inhibit release --> decrease SNS --> dilation --> decreased BP
what is the adrenergic neuron blockers that interacts with MAOi

what is the adrenergic neuron blocker that inhibits exocytosis and can cause HTN crisis in pts with pheochromocytoma
reserpine

guanethidine

**both prevent NE release to decrease SNS, which means vasodilation and then decrease in BP
what side effects are seen with:

guanethidine

nope
tell me the side effects of verapamil and dilttiazem
can cause bradycardia in pts with SA/AV node block

dont use in pts with block or CHF
what are hte prils

whats the active, whats the pro
ACE inhibitors

Active: captopril

ProDrug: Captopril
Enalapril
and others...
what is the thing about the metabolism/use of ACEi
they are all prodrugs that need to be convertived to active except for Captopril, its active
whats hte mech of action for the prils
ACE inhibitors

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme converts ANG I to ANG II. when this cant be done ANG II no longer works and BP is decreased
whats active ANG I or II
II its activated by ACE

ANG II constricts so when its not working we get dilation, but NO reflex tachy with ACEi
ok so ACE converts ANG I to II is this hte ony thing it does
nope its also called peptidyl dipeptidase and it kills bradykinin

when we have ACEi we have increased bradykinin. high bradykinin leads to coughing, angioedema and decreased HTN
wht class of drugs is associated with an increase in bradykinin
ACEi

the ACE enzyme is also called peptidly dipeptidase and it destroys bradykinin so when we ahve ACEi we have increased bradykinin, this is good to decrease HTN but it also causes cough and angioedema
do ACE inhibitors ("prils") affect the brain kidney or heart? what are the side effects
nope

mild side effects with no change in lipid panels

**no reflex tachy bc it resets baro
are ACEi used as monotherapy
ya, they are good and have few side effects, all can be given orally (as prodrug, need to be metabolized into active)
for ppl with DM renal disease, L vent hypertrophy what anti HTN drug is good
ACEi

**good in young/middle age whites. not so good in blacks
are ace inhibitos (prils) good in blacks
not really better in young/middle age whites

good for:
DM
renal disease
L vent hypertrphy
what 2 anti HTN work really well together
diuretics and ACEi

ACEi decrease ALDO secretion so there is less Na reabs. the Na loss induced by diuretics is unopposed

diuretics enhance hte anti HTN effec of ACEi

**just be sure its not a K sparring diuretic bc --> hyperkalemia
what are the pharmakokinetics of ACEi
oral
liver metabolism (good for ppl in renal failure)
what are some adverse effects of ACE inhibitors (prils)
1. hypotension in hypovolumic pts
2. cough (bradykinin is increased and causes this as well as angioedema)
3. hyperkalemia bc no ALDO
4. renal failure
5. CI in pregnancy
6. rash
7. altered taste
are ACEi good for preggos
nope
wht drug interactions are there with ACEi
K sparring diuretics. can get hyperkalemia

NSAIDS (decreased dilation, bradykinin --> PG)
should you use K sparring diuretics with ACEi
nope, risk of hyperkalemia
what are the "sartans"

losartan
valsartan
Angiotensin R Blocker (ARB)
ARB block which ANG II R specifically
AT1. are in vascular SM and cause most of hte effects of ANG II

**DONT AFFECT bradykinin
what affects bradykinin ACEi or ARB
ACEi

**ARB ("sartans") wont cause the cough and angioedema htat ACEi do
whats more effective losartan or atenolol
losartan (ARB) *****
atenolol (b1 blocker)

**less mortality, less side effects
whats hte pahrmacokinetics of ARB (sartans)
oral
variable first pass
liver metabolism

**simliar to ACEi
what are the adverse effects of hte ARB (sartans)
simiair to ACEi but NO cough or angioedema bc ARB dont increase bradykinin

*hypotension is hypovolumic pts
*renal failure
*no reflex tachy
*CI in preggo
*hyperkalemia maybe, dont use with K sparrring
*rash
losartan and valsartan are what
ARB,
what is the renin inhibitor
Aliskiren

*blocks ANG I formation
**same as ACEi and ARB for effects on BP
*wont affect bradykinin
*CI in preg
what blocks ANG I formation
renin inhibitor aliskiren

*simlar to ACEi and ARB
*dont use when preggo
*wont interfere with bradykinin (like ARB)
