________________ is a drug used to treat angina, cyanide poisoning, and
was also a recreational drug.
Angina ---correctanswers--- *Cardiac & Renal Drugs*
____________ is chest pain due to inadequate oxygen supply to heart
muscle.
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Losartan, Valsartan) ---correctanswers---
*Antihypertensives*
___________________ prevent angiotensin II from initiating smooth
muscle contraction (vasoconstriction).
Antibiotics ---correctanswers--- *Steroid Hormone Drugs*
______________ MAY reduce the effectiveness of hormonal
contraceptives because they increase clearance of those drugs
VLDL secretion inhibitors ---correctanswers--- *Hyperlipidemias*
Class 3 hyperlipidemia drugs are __________________ that block the
release of VLDL from the liver.
Warfarin ---correctanswers--- *Anticoagulants*
,_______________ is prescribed to treat thromboembolic disorders.
α-glucosidase ---correctanswers--- *Diabetic Drugs*
___________________ is the enzyme that breaks down polysaccharides
into monosaccharides, including glucose.
α-glucosidase inhibitors (Acarbose) ---correctanswers--- *Diabetic Drugs*
_____________________ block the breakdown of saccharides to glucose
in the intestines.
β-blockers (atenolol, metoprolol, propanolol) ---correctanswers--- *Cardiac
& Renal Drugs_____________ reduce heart rate and contraction strength,
decreasing oxygen demand.
β-blockers reduce the body's homeostatic sympathetic stimulation
response to reduced cardiac output, thereby working to prevent the "vicious
cycle". ---correctanswers--- *Cardiac & Renal Drugs*
Why are β-blockers (which act to reduce cardiac output) prescribed to treat
congestive heart failure (which is essentially a disease that results in
decreased cardiac output
(Captopril, Lisinopril) ---correctanswers--- *Antihypertensives*
ACE inhibitor drugs always end in -___________.
-tan (Losartan, Valsartan) ---correctanswers--- *Antihypertensives*
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs) all have drug names that end in
________.
1.) Intrinsic Mechanism: Myocardial hypertrophy/cardiomegaly -- ultimately
reduces the cardiac output though because the volume of the ventricles is
reduced
2.) Extrinsic Mechanism: The sympathetic nervous system acts to increase
cardiac output and BP ---correctanswers--- *Cardiac & Renal Drugs*
How does the body compensate for the low cardiac output associated with
congestive heart failur1st generation cause drowsiness because they can
cross the BBB. 2nd generation doesn't. ---correctanswers---
*Antihistamines*

antihistamines. How?
70 mg/dL ---correctanswers--- *Diabetic Drugs*
When blood glucose falls below ________ mg/dL, administer 15 g of "fast"
carbs.

adipocytes ---correctanswers--- *Diabetic Drugs*
Thiazolidinediones like Pioglitazone function to increase insulin sensitivity,
primarily in _________________.
adrenal cortex ---correctanswers--- *Antihypertensives*
The ________________ is the site of angiotensin II effects (creating
aldosterone).
adrenal cortex ---correctanswers--- *Steroid Hormone Drugs*
Glucocorticoids like cortisol are produced in the _________________ in
response to the pituitary gland (ACTH).
adrenal insufficiency
B/c negative feedback loop basically shuts down your natural production of
steroid hormones if you're constantly getting exogenous steroids ---
correctanswers--- *Steroid Hormone Drugs*
Glucocorticoid toxicities include ____________________ following
withdrawal.
Afterload ---correctanswers--- *Antihypertensives*
_____________ = the pressure in the arteries against which the ventricles
pump
afterload ---correctanswers--- *Antihypertensives*
High arterial BP puts strain on the heart by increasing _____________.
