SISTEMA CIRCULATORIO: FUNCIONES PRINCIPALES • Transportar y distribuir sustancias esenciales a los tejidos • Remover desechos metabólicos • Ajustar la provisión de oxígeno y nutrientes en diferentes estados metabólicos • Regulación de la temperatura corporal • Comunicación humoral

ENFERMEDAD CARDÍACA • Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death • Cardiovascular function based on • Cardiac pumping ability • Pace-making electrical signals • Force of contraction • Height of ventricle discharge pressure • Integrity of vasculature • Presence of blockage • Muscular tone/structural integrity • Pressure drop needed to move blood to and through capillary beds • Blood volume/composition • Water, electrolyte, iron balances • Lipid and protein composition
Patologías cardiovasculares que requieren farmacoterapia • Hipertensión • Arritmia • Falla cardíaca • Trastornos de flujo vascular
I. Background to Hypertension -Regulation of Blood Pressure • Arterial blood pressure due to combination of cardiac output (CO) and total peripheral resistance (TPR) • CO – regulated by heart rate and stroke volume (CO = HR x SV) • TPR function of • Viscosity of blood (hematocrit) • Length of blood vessels • Blood vessel luminal diameter (especially precapillary arterioles)
Cardiac Output • Heart rate • Function of • sympathetic, vagal nervous activity • Neuro-hormonal substances • 1° angiotensin II • 2º vasopression (anti-diuretic hormone = ADH) • Stroke volume • Function of • Venous return (function of venous tone [contractile state] and circulating blood (vascular) volume) • Venous tone function of sympathetic activity (α1, α2 receptors) • Vascular volume depends on • Intake of fluids (thirst) • Output of fluids (urine, sweat, etc) • Distribution of fluids (Starling’s law) • Myocardial contractility (MC proportional to sympathetic tone [β1 receptors])
Characteristics of some adrenoceptors (sympathetic nerves) Tissues and effects receptors
Autonomic Regulation of the Heart • Heart Rate • Parasympathetic input via vagus nerve causes decrease in HR (dominates) • Sympathetic input to sino-atrial node causes increase in HR (usually minor) • Heart contractility • Increased by sympathetic activity causing release of epinephrine, norepinephrine from adrenal gland
Antihypertensive Classes • diuretics • beta blockers • angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors • calcium channel blockers • vasodilators
Alpha1 Blockers Stimulate alpha1 receptors -> hypertension Block alpha1 receptors -> hypotension • doxazosin (Cardura®) • prazosin (Minipress®) • terazosin (Hytrin®)
Central Acting Adrenergics Stimulate alpha2 receptors inhibit alpha1 stimulation hypotension • clonidine (Catapress®) • methyldopa (Aldomet®)
Peripheral Acting Adrenergics reserpine (Serpalan®) inhibits the release of NE diminishes NE stores leads to hypotension Prominent side effect of depression also diminishes seratonin
Adrenergic Side Effects Common dry mouth, drowsiness, sedation & constipation orthostatic hypotension Less common headache, sleep disturbances, nausea, rash & palpitations
ACE Inhibitors RAAS Angiotensin I ACE Angiotensin II 1. potent vasoconstrictor - increases BP 2. stimulates Aldosterone - Na+ & H2O reabsorbtion .
Renin-Angiotensin Aldosterone System Angiotensin II = vasoconstrictor Constricts blood vessels & increases BP Increases SVR or afterload ACE-I blocks these effects decreasing SVR & afterload
ACE Inhibitors Aldosterone secreted from adrenal glands cause sodium & water reabsorption Increase blood volume Increase preload ACE-I blocks this and decreases preload
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors captopril (Capoten®) enalapril (Vasotec®) lisinopril (Prinivil® & Zestril®) quinapril (Accupril®) ramipril (Altace®) benazepril (Lotensin®) fosinopril (Monopril®)
Calcium Channel Blockers • Used for: • Angina • Tachycardias • Hypertension
Calcium Channel Blockers diltiazem (Cardizem®) verapamil (Calan®, Isoptin®) nifedipine (Procardia®, Adalat®)
CCB Site of Action diltiazem & verapamil nifedipine (and other dihydropyridines)
CCB Action • diltiazem & verapamil • decrease automaticity & conduction in SA & AV nodes • decrease myocardial contractility • decreased smooth muscle tone • decreased PVR • nifedipine • decreased smooth muscle tone • decreased PVR
Side Effects of CCBs • Cardiovascular • hypotension, palpitations & tachycardia • Gastrointestinal • constipation & nausea • Other • rash, flushing & peripheral edema
Diuretics Thiazides: chlorothiazide (Diuril®) & hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ®, HydroDIURIL®) Loop Diuretics furosemide (Lasix®), bumetanide (Bumex®) Potassium Sparing Diuretics spironolactone (Aldactone®)
Diuretic Site of Action . Distal tubule proximal tubule Collecting duct loop of Henle
Mechanism • Water follows Na+ • 20-25% of all Na+ is reabsorbed into the blood stream in the loop of Henle • 5-10% in distal tubule & 3% in collecting ducts • If it can not be absorbed it is excreted with the urine • Blood volume = preload !
Side Effects of Diuretics • electrolyte losses [Na+ & K+ ] • fluid losses [dehydration] • myalgia • N/V/D • dizziness • hyperglycemia
Vasodilators • diazoxide [Hyperstat®] • hydralazine [Apresoline®] • minoxidil [Loniten®] • sodium Nitroprusside [Nipride®]
Mechanism of Vasodilators • Directly relaxes arteriole smooth muscle • Decrease SVR = decrease afterload
Side Effects of Vasodilators • hydralazine (Apresoline®) • Reflex tachycardia • sodium nitroprusside (Nipride®) • Cyanide toxicity in renal failure • CNS toxicity = agitation, hallucinations, etc.
II. Background to Arrhythmia - Rhythm of the Heart • Human heart is four-chambered • Chambers need to contract sequentially (atria, then ventricles) and in synchronicity • Also need relaxation between contractions to allow refilling of chambers • Above controlled electrically (Purkinje fibers allow rapid, organized spread of activation)
