Cards

Term
Colchicine
Definition
treats acute gout and prevents gouty arthritis
depolymerizes microtubules preventing PMNs from phagocytosing crystals
Term
Indomethacin
Definition
COX inhibitor
treats acute gout
Term
Allopurinol
Definition
Competitive inhibitor of XO
metabolized to a suicide inhibitor of XO
Term
Febuxostat
Definition
direct inhibitor of oxidized and reduced XO
Term
Probenecid
Definition
uricosuric agent that inhibits the transport of organic anions across the brush border of the kidney
Term
Peglioticase
Definition
ureate oxidase analog
converts ureate to allantoin
Term
Nitroglycerin
Definition
direct vasodilator
stimulates cGMP cascade to relax vessels
Term
Amyl nitrite
Definition
direct vasodilator
Term
Verapimil/diltiazem (Angina properties)
Definition
↓ HR, myocardial contractility which decreases O2 demand by the heart
Term
nifedipine/felodipine (Angina properties)
Definition
vasodilators that decrease afterload and therefore decrease O2 demand
Term
β blockers
Definition
↓ HR therefore ↓ afterload and ↓ O2 demand
Term
Effect of combining β blockers with Nitrates
Definition
decreased LV EDP and dilates coronary arteries
Term
Effect of combining β blockers with CCBs
Definition
prevent coronary vasospasms and decrease TPR
Term
Ranolazine
Definition
increases glucose oxidation and efficiency of O2 utilization in the heart
Term
Procaineamide
Definition
Class IA antiarrhythmic
Na+ channel blocker, that slows conduction at lower HR
Term
Lidocaine
Definition
Class IB antiarrhythmic
slows conduction at fast rates
Term
Flecainide
Definition
Class IC antiarrhythmic
pronounced slowing of conduction
Term
Propranolol, metoprolol, timolol, acebutolol (antiarrhythmic properties)
Definition
Class II antiarrhythmic
decreases automaticity related to catecholamines
Term
Amiodarone
Definition
Class III antiarrhythmic
K+ channel blocker that prolongs phase 3 repolarization
Term
Sotalol
Definition
Class III antiarrhythmic
K+ channel blocker that prolongs phase 3 repolarization
Term
Verapamil/diltiazem (antiarrhythmic properties)
Definition
Class IV antiarrhythmic
decreases SA node automaticity and AVN conduction
Term
Digoxin
Definition
Increased vagal nerve activity to heart leading to decreased SA node automaticity and AV conduction
Term
Adenosine
Definition
terminates PSVT by blocking AVN.
Term
Quinidine
