When should thiazides NOT be if creatinine clearance is less than 30-50
used? ml/min
True or False True
Thiazide diuretics is a first-line
hypertensive agent and will also
help
to decrease fluid retention.
Calcium Channel Blockers MOA Cause coronary artery vasodilation
Cause peripheral arterial vasodilation, thus
decreasing systemic vascular resistance
Reduce the workload of the heart
Result: decreased myocardial oxygen
demand
(Hypertension, dysrhythmias, angina, and
Raynaud's)
Examples of CCBs Verapamil, diltiazem, amlodipine,
nifedipine
Indications for Verapamil essential HTN, angina (chronic stable,
unstable),
ventricular rate control in arrhythmia,
dysrhythmias.
, gentamicin side/adverse effects ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity, hypersensitivity
What classifies a diagnosis of 2 elevated blood pressures at separate
hypertension office visits
One elevated BP reading does not
constitute
hypertension
(White coat syndrome)
What hypertensive medications Thiazide medication. (diuretics)
work This is because these medications have
extremely well in the black and been
elderly white population? shown to decrease morbidity and mortality
in this
population.
For the black and elderly The body will be seeking homeostasis.
population,
What happens to the body when
they are on a antihypertensive for
6
months to a year?
Angiotensin II increases blood pressure by stimulating
kidneys to
reabsorb more water and by releasing
aldosterone
Vasoconstrictor
What structural changes does Hypertrophy
angiotensin II do to the heart? Remodeling.
