what does hypertension do to the body
damanges blood vessels, accelerates atherosclerosis and causes elft ventricular hypertrophy
1 of 33
What 4 categories of drugs an reduce blood pressure
Diuretics, sympatholytics, angiotensin inhibitors, vasodialators
2 of 33
diuretics do what
increases renal sodium excretion
3 of 33
4 types of diuretics
Thiazide diurectics - treat HTN
Loop diuretics - treat when above doesn't work
potassium - sparing diuretis
osmotic diuretics
4 of 33
sympatholytics are what type of drug
adrenoreceptor antagonist
5 of 33
types of sympatholytics
selective a (alpha) blockers
b (beta) blockers
6 of 33
beta blockers reduce Bp by ...
reducing cardiac output bt reducing heart rate ad contractibility.
7 of 33
Angiotensin inhibitors do what
inhibit the renin-angiotensin system somehow
8 of 33
ACE inhibitors block the production of what

what binds to the active site
the enzyme ACE that converts angiotensis 1 into angiotensis 2, causing vasodilation

zinc atom in the active site
9 of 33
Angiotensin receptor blocks (ARBs) block what
causing what to occur
overall...
block angiotensin receptors
reduces vasoconstriction, aldosterone secretion and Na reabsorption in proximal tubule
reducing cardiac output
10 of 33
what is congestive heart failure
weakening of the ventricles = impaired ability for the heart to pump
11 of 33
what is furosemide
what does it do
loop diuretic
inhibits Na+, k+ and 2cl- in loop of henle
12 of 33
what drug types are vasodialators
ACE inhibitors and ARBs
and GTN
13 of 33
What is coronary heart disease includes what
all are caused by
angina pectoris, unstable angina, MI
coronary artery ischaemia
14 of 33
what causes coronary artery ischemia
thrombi, coronary vasospasm and atherosclerosis
15 of 33
what is coronary heart disease treated by
organic nitrates and nitrites
calcium channel blockers
b-adrenoreceptor antagonists
preventative agent
16 of 33
drugs aim to
balance the oxygen supply and demand
17 of 33
calcium channel blockers included which drugs

where are Ca channels located
amlodipine, nifedipine, diltiazem, verapamil
plasma membrane of cardiac and smooth muscle tissue
18 of 33
an influx of Ca+ causes
membrane depolarisation
and initiates or strengths muscle contraction
19 of 33
calcium channel blockers bind to
causes a
stopping a
blocking the ca+ influx supresses the
calcium channels
conformational change
influx of ca+ through the channels
cardiac activity and relaxes the smooth muscle
20 of 33
B-adrenoreceptor drugs
atenolol, bisoprolol and propranolol
21 of 33
what do B-adrenoreceptor drugs prevent
tachycardia, improve myocardial blood supply
22 of 33
what drug is an antiplalet
Aspirin
23 of 33
what does an antiplatlet drug do
inhibit platlet aggregation
24 of 33
aspirin has what properties
antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect
25 of 33
other antiplatlet drug we carry on the ambo
clopidogrel
26 of 33
what does clopidogrel block
ADP (which promotes platelet aggression)
27 of 33
oral anticoagulants
warfarin, rivaroxaban and dabigatran
28 of 33
warfarin works by
side effect
inhibit vitamin K - a dependent clotting factor
bleeding
29 of 33
new oral anticoagulants
apixaban, rivaroxaban and new oral anticoagulants
30 of 33
advantagesover warfarin
fewer drug food interactions
lower risk of haemorrhagic stroke
effect stops sooner that warfarin if stopped

however no antidote
31 of 33
Thrombolytic drugs
retaplase, tenecteplase and streptokinase
32 of 33
thrombolytic drugs activate
dissolve
side effect
activate plasminogen and enhance fibrinolysis
thrombi and fibrin at sites of vascular injury
Haemorrhage is a side effect
