Ace Inhibitor common ending
PRIL
Ace inhibitors cause increase potentiol for _______kalemia
hyper- the decrease te excretion of potassium by suppressing aldosterone secretion
ARB common ending
SARTANS
Common ending for CCB's
dipines - also includes Dilitazem (Cardizem) and Verapimil
CCB's work by ________ arterioles
dilating
A patient with hypotension is ordered a CCB would you give this drug
No- the dilated arterioles decrease BP
Ace Inhibitors stop the conversion of
Angiotensin I to Angiotension II
ARB's stop angiotensin II from causing
Vasoconstriction
Aldosterone Receptor Blockers block
Aldosterone
When an Ace inhibitor is given it blocks _________ and increases __________
Angiotensin II, Bradykinin
When Angiotensin II is blocked the result is
Vasodilation, decreased blood volume, decreased cardiac and vascular remodeling, potassium retention and fetal injury
When Bradykinin is increased the result is
Vasodilation, Cough and Angioedema(rare)
These therapeautic uses are for which drug class- HTN, Heart failure, MI, Diabetic and non diabetic nephropathy, prevention of MI and stroke or death in clients at high cardiovascular risk
ACE INHIBITORS
ACE inhibitors work on nephropathy by
increasing kidney perfusion
Cardiac Remodeling is
Bad- ventricles dilate, hypertrophy, heart more sperical, increased wall stress and decreased LV function
This drug class has been shown to prolong life by causing a stand still or reversal of cardiac remodeling
ACE INHIBITORS
What is the #1 reason to stop ace inhibitors
cough
ACE INHIBITORS are given at night. Why?
Hypotension - they also cause first dose hypotension
This ace inhibitors is bad in lupus, scleraderma and collage disorders
Captopril
A patient with Bilateral Kidney stenosis should not recieve which drugs
ACE INHIBITORS and ARB's
This class of drugs interacts with Diuretics, antihypertensive agents, lithium and NSAIDS
Ace inhibitors
What happens when Lithium and Lisinopril are taken together
As with any ace inhibitor the lithium level can accumulate to toxic amounts
What happens when you take a NSAID with an ACE
The ace inhibitors is decreased in effect
Which labs would you monitor in a pt taking a Ace inhibitor
WBC (neutropenia) and K+ if impaired renal fx
ARBS therapeutic uses are the same as Ace inhibitors except they are also used for
migranes
Your HR, Contractility, blood volume and venous return make up what?
cardiac output
Which diuretics will you get more diuresis with? Thiazide or Loop?
Loop (bumix, lasix)
Therapeutic dig level is
0.5-0.8ng/ml
Primary htn has
no identifiyable cause, chronic and progressive
Secondary HTN has
a treatable underlying cause
Hydralazine dilates (veins or arterioles)
Arterioles, the direct action is on the vascular smooth muscle
Drugs that work on arterioles can cause what adverse reaction
Reflex tachycardia- there is a decrease in arterial pressure,
What med would you give to prevent reflex tachycardia?
B blocker
With prolonged use of hydralazine or Nitro what adverse effect may you get
Increased Blood Volume- the low BP causes increasedaldosterone which tells the kidney to hold onto Na+ and H20
What is the medication used for increased blood volume
diuretic
Hydralazine is the _____ choice for HTN
3rd
Nitroglycerines major adverse effect
Postural Hypotension- due to relaxation of smooth muscle.
Cardiac Output is a combination of
HR, Contractility, blood volume and venous return
Ionotropin is
force of contraction
Chronotropin is
HR
Normal PR
QRS
PR 0.12 QRS 0.10
Heart block pts would have a PR interval over
0.20
Afib that is asymptomatic is usually treated with
Only coumadin to decrease risk of clots
If you have a prolonged QRS you will have
decreased contraction increase in heart failure
What is the difference between ST elevation MI and non st elevated MI
ST elevated MI is worse it means there has been a full occlusion with tissue death, A non ST elevated is a partial occlusion
Criteria for Vtach
No P wave, QRS > 0.12 Ventricle rate of 150-200
Automaticity is
the hearts ability to GENERATE electrical impulse
Epoetin Alfa increases production of __________
RBC's in bone marrow
2 types of hematopoietic growth factors are
Erythropoietin (RBC's)
Leukopoietic (WBC's
This drug is to decrease the risk of infection in myelosuppressive chemo pts, after a bone marrow transplant and to treat neutropenia
Filgrastim (Neupogen)
These 2 growth factors can be given SQ or IV
Filgrastim (Neupogen) and Epoetin Alfa (procrit, epogen)
Adverse effects of Epoetin Alfa include (3)
HTN, Autoimmune pure red aplasia, cardiovascular events
Adverse effects of Neupogen include
Bone pain, leukocytosis
With Epoetin Alfa what is the target Hgb and Max Hgb
10-12gm/dl, MAX is 12
(Hgb should be monitored 2x wk
Sargramostim (Leukine) is used after ______________ to increase _____________
bone marrow transplant, bone marrow recovery
Leukine is given
IV only
Adverse effects of Leukine are
Diarrhea, weakness, rash, malaise, bone pain, LEUKOCYTOSIS, thrombocytosis
What lab should be monitored while on Leukine? At what value should the drug be stopped
