Term
Major Classes of CVD
Definition
antihypertensives, antianginal, inotropes, antihyperlipidemics, anticoagulants, antiplatelets, thrombolytics, diuretics
Term
Antihypertensives
Definition
control high BP, decrease CO and PVR
Term
Hypertension
Definition
high BP: 120-139 and 80-90
Term
ACE Inhibitor
Definition
blocks ACE and conversion of angiotension 1 to angiotension 2
Term
ACE Inhibitor
Definition
Action: results in fluid volume reduction and decreased PVR= decreased BP
Term
ACE Inhibitor
Definition
Uses: control of mild to severe hypertension
Term
ACE Inhibitor
Definition
Adverse Effects: dry hacking cough, headache, rash, hyperkalemia, orthostatic hypotension, flushing
Term
ACE Inhibitor

Term
ARBs
Definition
Action: selectively block binding of angiotension 2 to specific receptors
Term
ARBs
Definition
Adverse Effects: HA, orthostatic hypotension, rash (No dry cough or hyperkalemia)

Beta-2 Blockers
Definition
Receptor cells are in lungs and heart; dialation of bronchial tubes
Term
Beta Blockers
Definition
Adverse Effects: bradycardia, decreased cardiac output, orthostatic hypotension
Term
Beta Blockers
