Mechanism of action
Prevents conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II
Reduces blood pressure by vasodilation and decreasing aldosterone secretion
What is ACE inhibitor?
Cough
What are ACE inhibitors?
Acute coronary syndrome
What is Nitroglycerin
The difference between ACE inhibitors and ARBs
What are ACE inhibitors reduce the amount of angiotensin formed in the body whereas ARBs block the receptors where angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II
What is nitrodilator mechanism of action?
Bradycardia, hypotension, heart blocks
What are side effects of beta blockers
Angina, hypertension, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure
What are indications of use for Nitrodilators?
Propanolol, carvediolol, sotalol and labetalol
What are non-selective beta blockers?
Must use extreme caution with administration of Nitroglycerin when patient has taken dose of _______ in the past 24 hours
What are phosphodiasterase inhibitors
Blocks angiotensin 2 at the angiotensin 1 receptor sites (which are found in the heart, blood vessels and kidneys), causing vasodilation and sodium and water excretion.
Postural hypotension, flushing, headaches
What are side effects of nitrodilators?
What are angiotensin receptor blockers?
Captopril
Enalopril
Lisinopril
Ramipril
What are ACE inhibitors
Medication administered in the presence of calcium channel blocker overdose
What is calcium gluconate?
Inhibitory effects on the SA and AV nodes which result in a slowing of cardiac conduction and contractility.
What is action of non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker?
Can cause prolongation of QT interval
What is Sotalol?
To help protect kidneys in patients with diabetes and hypertension
Used in the treatment of hypertension-alone or in conjunction with other anti-hypertensives
What are ACE inhibitors?
Irbesartan, Losartan, Valsartan
What are ARBs?
Treatment of betablocker overdose
What is glucagon?
Decrease HR by binding to receptors that slow down rate and decrease contractility
What are beta blockers?
Dizziness, hypotension, hyperkalemia, angioedema
What are side effects of ACE inhibitors?
Used in the treatment of tachycardia, hypertension, post MI, cardiac tachyarrhythmias, hyperthyroidism, essential tremor and glaucoma
What are beta blocker indications?
Atenolol, bisoprolol, metoprolol and esmolol
With administration of this agent, patient is at risk of developing cyanide toxicity
What is nitroprusside?
