1
, ACE inhibitors Answer: "PRIL" Captopril, Enalapril, Afosiopril
Antihypertensive. Blocks ACE in lungs from converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II
(powerful vasoconstrictor). Decreases BP, Decreased Aldosterone secretions, Sodium and fluid
loss.
Check BP before giving (hypotension)
Dry cough
*Orthostatic Hypotension
ARBs Answer: -sartan
Inhibits vasoconstrictive properties of angiotension II
--> Monitor BP, fluid levels, renal/liver status
Calcium Channel Blockers Answer: blocks heart calcium channels in the heart and blood
vessels
S.E: Constipation, dizziness, facial flushing, HA, edema in ankle/feet, decrease BP
Beta Blockers Answer: -lol
~decrease heart rate and dilate arteries by blocking beta receptors
~titrate off, Can mask the s/sx of hypoglycemia
Venodilators (arterial) Answer: relaxes arterial smooth muscle to promote dilation. arterial
dilation decreases BP whitch increase CO
~S.E: Reflex tachycardia, hypotension,
Venodilators (arterial and venous) Answer: Venous dilation reduces venous return to heart,
causing a decrease in ventricular contraction
~S.E: headache (expected), dizziness, flushing, orthostatic hypotension
Atropine Answer: - Anticholinergic
- Treats muscarinic effects ( sweating, diarrhea)
~S.E: blurry vison, uninary retention, dry mouth, constipation.
sodium channel blocker Answer: -Lidocaine
- used for dysthymias
~A.E: Diarrhea, hypotension, cardiosupression
potassium channel blockers Answer: Amiodarone, Ibutilide
