Inhibits the Na/K pump meaning Na concentrations in the cell increase. This decreases the concentration gradient for Na entering in the Ca/Na pump. This increases the force of contraction as there is thus more Ca in the myocyte
1 of 11
Glycerol Trinitrate
Metabolised to NO which causes vasodilation by increasing cGMP levels inside the cell which activates protein kinase G. This mainly acts on veins and thus reduces preload.
2 of 11
ß Blockers (Bisoprolol)
Competitive antagonist at ß1 receptors and thus slows down the heart rate as noradrenaline cannot bind
3 of 11
Aspirin
Inhibits platelet thromboxane A2 synthesis which reduces aggregation
4 of 11
Warfarin
Inhibits vitamin k reduction enzyme preventing the carboxylation of clotting factors II, X, IX etc
5 of 11
Alpha Blockers
Prevents vasoconstriction by antagonising the alpha -1 receptor preventing noradranline binding
6 of 11
Calcium Channel Antagonists (Amlodipine)
Prevents calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle cells and thus stops contraction
7 of 11
ACE Inhibitors (Ramipril)
Bind to ACE inhibiting it and preventing the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Thus reducing aldosterone release, vasoconstriction and cardiac hypertrophy
8 of 11
Loop Diuretic (Furosimide)
Binds to the Cl site in the Na/K/2Cl transporter in the thick ascending limb preventing Na entry and thus water loss
9 of 11
Thiazide Diuretic (Bendroflumethiazide)
Binds to the Na/Cl transport in the distal convoluted tubule preventing Na reabsorption
10 of 11
Statins (Atorvastatin & Simvastatin)
Inhibits HMG-CoA reductase preventing hepatic cholesterol formation increasing LDL Receptor expression and thus LDL uptake from tissues
