Front 21

antihypertensive drug/agent

Back 21

medication used to lower blood pressure

Front 22

vasodilator

Back 22

vaso=vessel
dilate=to open

medication used to widen blood vessels (making lumen larger) by relaxing vascular smooth muscle.

Front 23

vasopressor

Back 23

vaso=vessel
pressor=to constrict

medication used to constrict blood vessels (making lumen smaller)

Front 24

aldosterone antagonist

Back 24

medication that counteracts the action of aldosterone, a hormone from the adrenal glands that regulates blood pressure

Front 25

hypokalemia

Back 25

low potassium level in blood

Front 26

hyperkalemia

Back 26

too much potassium (K) in blood

Front 27

edema

Back 27

swelling caused by accumulation of fluids, most often occurring in feet and legs.

Front 28

ACE inhibitor

Back 28

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme inhibitor; medication used to lower B/P by inhibiting production of angiotensin II, a chemical that causes blood vessels to constrict.

Front 29

antiarrhythmic drug/agent

Back 29

medication used to treat an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia)

Front 30

anticoagulant drug/agent

Back 30

medication used to prevent formation of new clots or further extension of existing clots.

Front 31

anithyperlipidemic drug/agent

Back 31

medication used to lower high lipid (fat) levels in blood

Front 32

HMG CoA reductase inhibitor

Back 32

AKA "statin"; medication used to lower LDL. Most often prescribed class of drugs to lower cholesterol.

Front 33

Calcium channel blocking drug/agent

Back 33

AKA "CCBs"; medication that blocks entry of calcium (Ca+) into muscle of heart and arteries. Entry of Ca+ into these tissues causes heart to contract and arteries to constrict. Drug dilates arteries and decreases contraction of heart, lowering blood pressure and easing angina.

Front 34

beta-blocker drug/agent
AKA
antiadrenergic drug/agent

Back 34

medication used to slow heartbeat and treat angina. Drug blocks beta-adrenergic substances (substances that effect the involuntary nervous system) and relieves stress on heart.
