epi reversal
Term

use: pheochromocytoma
problem: excessive cardiac stimulation, more than just baro reflex
Term
prazosin
Definition
alpha 1 selective antagonist.
decrease TPR and reduce sympathetically-mediated SM stimulation.

use: hypertension, CHF, BPH

problem: first dose phenom = hypotension/syncope
Term
beta blockers
Definition
angina
cardiac arrythmia
hypertension
post MI
CHF?
Term
propanolol
Definition
beta blocker. competitive antagonist at beta adrenergic receptors. MSA

uses: HTN, angina, arrythmia, MI

problem: first pass effect

comp: cardiac depression, bronchoconstriction, hypoglycemia (masked), CNS sedation. t1/2=3-4 hours
Term
metoprolol
Definition
2nd gen beta blocker. selective antagonist at b1 receptors. cardioselectivity.

use: HTN, angina, cardiac arrythmia, post MI, CHF. MSA

problem: t1/2=3-4 hours
Term
atenolol
Definition
beta blocker.
cardioselectivity.
renal clearance (as opposed to hepatic)
t1/2=6-9 hours
Term
pindolol
Definition
beta blocker.
Intrinsic Sympathomimetic Activity. partial agonist at all beta adrenergic receptors.

advantages: less cardiac depression, less bronchoconstriction, reduces peripheral resistance

compared to propanolol, doesn't reduce resting HR. both prevent exercised induced increase.
Term

Definition
ultra short acting.
t1/2=5-10 minutes, enzymatic clearance.
infused to reduce cathecholamine induced cardiac stimulation in surgery.
Term
carvedilol
Definition

Definition
activates muscarinic ACh receptors on target tissues (parasymp and sweat glands).
G protein mediated.

symptoms: bradycardia, nausea cramps vomit, bronchconstriction, SALIVATION, SWEATING, hypotension b/c of uninnervated muscarinic receptors in BV.
