100
Important ion for cardiac contraction
What is calcium?
100

MOA of diuretics

What is reduction of blood volume via urinary excretion of water and electrolytes?

100
Considered first line drugs for pharmacotherapy of HTN
What are beta blockers?
100
Greatly reduce LDL cholesterol
What are statins?
100
Three main dysfunctions of blood
What are thrombosis, bleeding and anemia?
200
Responsible for increased HR, contractility and renin release
What is beta-1 receptor activation?
200

Side effects include Na+ and K+ depletion, gout, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia

What are thiazide diuretics?

200
Beta blockers are contraindicated in the presence of what pathology?
What is asthma?
200
Causes flushing
What is (non-sustained release) niacin?
200
Clot that adheres to wall of vessel
What is a thrombus?
300

Effects of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

What are increased water retention, arteriolar vasoconstriction > increased blood pressure?

300
Produce greater diuresis than thiazide or K+ sparing diuretics
What are loop diuretics?
300
Side effects include dry cough
What are ACE inhibitors?
300
Includes rhabdomyolysis as a side effect
What are statins?
300
Intravascular clot that floats in the blood
What is an embolus?
400
Factors responsible for blood pressure
What are cardiac output, blood volume, and peripheral resistance?
400

Produces mild diuresis but does not cause hypokalemia

What are K+ sparing diuretics?

400
Block receptors for angiotensin II in arteriolar smooth muscle and block aldosterone secretion
What are ARBs?
400
DOC for high triglyceride levels
What are fibric acid agents?
400
Heparin and warfarin (Coumadin) belong to this family of medications
What are anticoagulants?
500
Equation for cardiac output
What is CO = SV x HR
500

Two actions of spironolactone (Aldactone)

What are blocks reabsorption of Na+/reduce secretion of K+ and blocks action of aldosterone?

500
Cause blood vessels to dilate, leading to decreased BP
What are alpha-1 blockers?
500
Greatly increases HDL cholesterol
What is niacin?
500
Aspirin and clopidogrel (Plavix) belong to this family of medications
What are antiplatelet aggregating medications?
