Classes of drugs to treat HTN: (5) |
1) ACE Inhibitors 2) Beta-Blockers 3) Loop Diuretics 4) Vasodilators 5) Calcium Channel Blockers 6) ARBs (Angiotension II - Receptor - Blockers) |
|
|
ACE Inhibitors |
"-pril" - block conversion of Angiotension I --> Angiotension 2 = reduce aldosterone = reduce sodium and water retention *increase potassium* |
|
|
Lisinopril |
ACE Inhibitor - treats hypertension |
|
|
Side effects: ACE Inhibitor |
- cough*** - dizziness, headache, hypotension - hyperkalimeia** - reduce sodium and water + increase potassium - angioedema |
|
|
Enalapril |
ACE Inhibitor - treats hypertension w/ longer half life* |
|
|
Hydralizine |
direct-acting Vasodilator - treats HTN |
|
|
How do calcium channel blockers reduce HTN? |
- decrease cardiac contractility - vasodilate |
|
|
What would you use for patient with diabetes to treat HTN? |
ACE inhibitor -or- ARBs |
|
|
What would you use for patient with heart failure to treat HTN? |
Beta-Blocker |
|
|
Potassium-sparing diuretic |
Spironolactone (Aldactone) |
|
|
Nefedipine |
Calcium channel blocker |
|
|
Spironolactone (Aldactone) |
- Aldosterone antagonist - potassium sparing diuretic |
|
|
Which drug class protects the kidney? |
ACE Inhibitors |
|
|
Contraindications: ACE Inhibitors |
- diabetes* - renal impairment - hemodialysis* - when used w/ potassium sparing diuretics |
|
|
"-sartan" |
ARBs - increase potassium secretion - no cough* |
|
|
Which Calcium Channel Blocking drugs decrease both BP and cardiac contractility? |
- Diltiazem - Verapamil |
|
|
Which Calcium Channel Blocking drugs decrease only BP? |
- Nifedipine - Amlodipine |
|
|
Adverse effects: Hydralazine |
- reflex tachycardia* - hypotension - lupus-like symptoms* - nausea + diarrhea |
