 negative | do beta blockers have a negative or positive inotrope, chronotrope and dromotrope effect on heart? |
| beta blocker | what class of meds should be given within 8 hours to reduce cardiac workload? |
| beta blocker | What class of meds will cause chest pain and rebound hypertension when abruptly withdrawaling from? |
| olol | what do beta blocker meds end in??? |
| COPD | beta blockers are contraindicated in someone who has......?? |
| pril | ACE inhibitors end in what? |
| ACE inhibitors | This class of meds has the "1st dose phenomenon... |
| catapril (Capoten) | What ACE inhibitor should be given 1 hour before meals? |
| ipine | What do the calcium channel blockers end in? |
| nifedipine (Procardia) | What CCB has a side effect of reflex tachycardia? |
| negative | Do CCB have a negative or positive chrono, dromo, and tropo effect? |
| sartan | What do the ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers) end in? |
| digoxin (Lanoxin) | What med should not be given with Lasix (furosemide) d/t hypokalemia? |
| vasodilators | this class of meds has a limited use b/o high incidence of orthostatic hypotension and reflex tachycardia |
| nitroprusside (Nitropress) | this vasodilator is used in life-threatening hypertensive crisis |
| diuretic | What class of meds is normally given first to someone who has hypertension? |
| beta blockers | What class of meds is normally given first to someone with angina? |
| ACE inhibitors | What class of meds is normally given first to someone with heart failure? |
| CCB | What class of meds blocks calcium from entering cell, causing less muscle contraction, which decreases BP. Mainly used to treat supraventricular dysrhythmias by slowing conduction. |
| loop diuretics | This class of meds blocks reabsorption of sodium in loop of Henle, secreting more urine, which lowers BP |
| thiazide diuretics | what class of meds acts on the distal tubule in kidneys to block Na reabsorption, increasing water excretion, decreasing BP |
| K sparing diuretics | what class of meds increase urination w/out effecting potassium levels? |
| ACE inhibitors | What class of meds blocks angiotensin, causing vasodilation, decreasing BP? |
| beta blocker | decreases activity in heart by slowing conduction and automaticity, decreasing BP and HR..also dilating the bronchi |
| alpha blockers | this class of meds inhibits vasoconstriction in arterioles, decreasing BP and HR |
| vasodilators | this class of meds causes relaxation of smooth muscle in arterioles, decreasing BP |
| potassium channel blockers | this class of meds prolongs action potential and lengthens the resting period in heart, stabilizing dysrhythmias |
| sodium channel blockers | this class of meds blocks sodium channel in action potential, slowing conduction of heart, stabilizing dysrhythmias |
| cardiac glycosides | this class of meds increases the force of a contraction, is + inotropic, increasing cardiac output |
| carvedilol (Coreg) | what beta blocker has potential to worsen heart failure and is always used in combo with other agents, usually ACE inhibitors?? |
| ACE inhibitors | what class of meds is given to diabetics as a precaution (for nephropathy)? |
| kalemia | ACE and ARBs have a side effect of hyper----??? |
| ACE | What class of meds has a common s.e. of dry cough?? |
| CCB | What class of meds has a s.e. of constipation? |
| 0.5-2 | What is the normal digoxin (Lanoxin) level? |
| Ovine | What do you give for a digoxin toxicity? (antidote) |
| speed | what does chronotropic mean? |
| conduction | what does dromotropic mean? |
| force | what does inotropic mean? |
