HOW DO YOU TREAT MALIGNANT HYPERTENSION??? • Three drugs in alphabetical order • #1: DIAZOXIDE • MOA? • K channel opener—hyperpolarizes smooth muscle • #2: Fenoldopam • MOA? • Dopamine1 Receptor Agonist: relaxes vascular smooth muscle • #3: Nitroprusside • MOA? • Increased cGMP via direct NO release • SE? • CYANIDE POISONING!!!
Nitroprusside • Use? • SE? • Vasodilator, HTN • Cyanide Poisoning (Releases CN!)
WHICH TWO DRUGS ARE THE HYPERTENSION IN PREGNANCY SUPERSTAR MEDS?(Which are ok to use in Pregnancy?) HYDRALAZINE & METHYLDOPA This, on the other hand is NOT safe in pregnancy….
Diltiazem • Use? • MOA? • More cardiac or smooth muscle effects? • SE? • Toxicity? • Calcium Channel Blocker, HTN, angina, arrhythmias, Raynaud’s • Blocks Voltage Dependant L-type Ca channels, decreasing contractility • Somewhere in the middle • Dizziness, flushing, constipation, AV block, Nausea • Cardiac depression, peripheral edema, flushing, dizziness, constipation
Losartan • Use? • Good alternative to what? • SE? • Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker, HTN • ACE Inhibitors • Fetal renal toxicity, Hyper-K

CHOLESTEROL DRUGS • Which is best for decreased triglycerides? • Fibrates • Examples? • Gemfibrozil, Clofibrate, Bezafibrate, Fenofibrate • Which are best for decreasing LDL? • Statins • MOA? • HMG CoAreductase inhibitors—inhibit cholestrol precursor: mevalonate • Which do patients hate taking because of GI disturbances? • Bile Acid Resins: Cholestyramine & Colestipol • What are two other possible drugs you could use? • Cholesterol Absorption Blockers (Ezetimibe) and Niacin
Class I Drugs: Broken up by degree of Na channel blockade and effect on AP duration CLASS IA Drugs • MOA? • Moderate blockade of Na channels = raise AP threshold and slow AP upstroke. Also depress slope of phase 4 depolarization. • Uses? • Ectopic foci and reentrant rhythms • Atrial AND Ventricular Arrhythmias • Examples? • Quinidine, Amiodarone, Procainamide, Disopyramide • SE • Quinidine • Cinconchism: HA, tinnitus, thrombocytopenia • Increase AP duration, increased effective refractory period, increase QT interval (increased risk of what?) • Torsades de points • Procainamide • Reversible SLE-like syndrome
Class I Drugs: Broken up by degree of Na channel blockade and effect on AP duration CLASS IB Drugs • MOA? • Bold Na channels, but unlike IA’s shorten duration of AP and refractory period • Uses? • Preferentially act on diseased tissue: ischemic or depolarized Purkinje/ventricular tissue. • Great post-MI and for dig-induced arrhythmias • Examples? • Lidocaine, Mexiletine, Tocainide, Phenytoin? • SE • CNS depression/stim and cardiovasc depression
Class I Drugs: Broken up by degree of Na channel blockade and effect on AP duration CLASS IC Drugs • MOA? • Most potent sodium channel blockers!
