Cards

Term
Epi- low dose
Preferentially stimulates?
Effect on vessels to muscle?
Effect on heart?
Definition
β receptors
Dilates vessels to muscle/liver
↑ HR, CO with little change in BP
Term
Epi- high dose
Preferentially stimulates?
Effect on vessels to muscle?
Effect on heart?
Clinical use?
Caution?
Definition
α receptors
Vasoconstriction
Baroreflex keeps HR from incr high
↑ CO, BP w/o stressing heart
Used w/ local anesthetics
Caution if hyperthyroid, ↑ β1 receptors
Term
Norepi
Preferentially stimulates?
Effect on vessels to muscle?
Effect on heart?
Clinical use?
Caution?
Definition
Mostly α
Vasoconstriction
↑ BP
Use for shock, hypotensive state
Caution: ↓ in renal blood, hyperthyroid
Term
Dopamine- low dose IV ONLY
Mechanism?
Net effect?
Use?
Definition
stimulate renal DA D1 receptors
↑ renal blood flow
Doesn't ↑ survival so OBSOLETE
Term
Dopamine- med dose
Mechanism?
Net effect?
Caution?
Definition
stimulate renal D1 AND cardiac β1
↑ RBF, BP & CO
↑ chance of arrythmia compared to NE
Term
Dopamine- high dose
Mechanism?
Net effect?
Caution?
Definition
stimulate renal D1, cardiac β1 AND α1/2
Massive vasoconstriction
Monitor renal function
Term
Side effects of Dopamine
Definition
nausea- Stim DA recept in area postrema
arrhythmias
few CNS side effects– doesn’t cross BBB
Term
Alpha 1 agonists
Definition
Vasoconstriction
↑ BP
Term
PHENYLEPHRINE
Definition
α1 selective nasal spray decongestant
Vascoconstriction
Term
METARAMINOL
Definition
α1 agonist for shock
↑↑ BP
Term
MIDODRINE
Definition
Prodrug- Met to α1 agonist for orthostatic hypotension
urinary incontinence
Term
CLONIDINE
Definition
α2 agonist
-opens postsynaptic K+ channels→ K+ efflux, hyperpolarization
-inhibits presynaptic Ca2+ channels→ decr. NE release
Net effect: ↓ peripheral resistance, HR, CO
Disc. slowly to avoid flood of SNS act.
Sexual dysfunction in men
Term
APRACLONIDINE
Definition
α2 agonist
USE: GLAUCOMA
Decreases production of aqueous humor
Term
OXYMETAZOLINE
Definition
a2 agonist, opthalmic
Side effects: hypotension, palpitations due to inhibition of SNS outflow
Term
Alpha 2 agonists
Definition
parasympathetic dominates
Lowers BP
Term
PSEUDOEPHEDRINE
Definition
a2 agonist
decongestant
Term
Alpha Antagonists
Definition
inhibits smooth muscle contractions
↑ HR, CO
Term
PHENOXYBENZAMINE
Definition
Oral, binds α1/α2– irreversible
Pheochromocytoma - tumor of the adrenal medulla -> excessive secretion of CAs
-EPI reversal
-Prostate & bladder obst- relax sphinct
Side effects: postural hypotens, tachy
Term
PHENTOLAMINE- IV only
Definition
inhibits α1 & α2 receptors
similar to phenoxybenzamine but faster
Term
METYROSINE
Definition
not α antagonist but also used for pheochromocytoma
inhibits TH
Term
PRAZOSIN
Definition
Blocks α1 in arterioles & veins -> ↓ peripheral resistance & venous return
USE: hypertension, add diuretic
1st dose effect- post. hypot./ syncope due to compens. tachycardia
Term
Beta agonists
Definition
"EROL"
sympathetics dominate
inhibits histamine release (↓ inflamm)
Term
ISOPROTERENOL- IV
Definition
vasodilation, ↑ HR, CO w/ slight ↓ BP
Term
DOBUTAMINE
Definition
↑ CO
ADV. vs isoproterenol: ↓ effect on HR
Term
ALBUTEROL
Definition
β2 agonist for oral & inhalation
Mg2+ ↑s bronchodilation
Antagonizes Ca
Caution: can delay labor
Term
PIRBUTEROL
Definition
β2 agonist for inhalation
Term
SALMETEROL
Definition
inhalation only, longest acting
NOT for acute attacks b/c long onset
Term
BETA ANTAGONISTS
Definition
anti-sympathetic
HR, BP, CO all ↓
Won't allow brochodialation
Can lower blood sugar- diabetic caution
-Hypoglycemia --> tachycardia
Won't be able to see if taking B blocker
SE: bradycardia, fatigue
Discontinue slowly
Term
PROPRANOLOL
Definition
local anesthetic bc blocking Na+ channels
USES: arrhythmias, MI, HTN
Term
NADOLOL
Definition
Long acting
Uses: hypertension, angina
Term
ATENOLOL
Definition
SELECTIVE β1 BLOCKER
HTN, angina, MI
Term
METOPROLOL
Definition
SELECTIVE β1 BLOCKER
HTN, angina, MI
