Cards

Term
Pathophys of HTN
Definition
CO = HR x SV
MAP = CO x PVR
Term
Key Substances
Definition
- Renin converts Angiotensinogen to Angiotensin I
- Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) converts Ang I to Ang II, which is a very potent vasoconstrictor
Term
Key Substances
Definition
- Aldosterone: increase reabsorption of Na+ and H+ from renal tubules to INCREASE PLASMA VOLUME
- Prostaglandins: produced in kidneys. counteract vasoconstrictive effects to ensure kidney perfusion!!
Term
HTN Risk Factors
Definition
Smoking
Obesity
Physical Inactivity
Poor diet
Dyslipidemia
Diabetes Mellitus
Microalbuminuria (kidney dysfunction)
>55 males, and >65 females
Fam Hx of CVD
Term
HTN Goals
Definition
>60 and no other conditions = <150/90mmHg
<60 and no other conditions = <140/90mmHg
Term
HTN Treatment Options
Definition
Diuretics
Alpha and Beta Blockers
Dual Alpha and Beta Blockers
Alpha 2 Agonists
Vasodilators
Calcium Channel Blockers
ACE Inhibitors
ARB's (angiotensin II receptor blockers)
Vasopeptidase Inhibitors
Renin Inhibitors
Term
Diuretics
Definition
MOA: reduce plasma volume/Na+ levels by decreasing reabsorption in the kidneys.
Classes: Thiazide, Loop, Potassium sparing/aldosterone antagonists, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
Term
Loop Diuretics: MOA and Drugs
Definition
MOA: inhibits reabsorption of Na and Cl in ascending LoH and dist tubule
Furosemide (Lasix)
Bumetanide (Bumex)
Term
Loop Diuretics: Adverse Drug Effects
Definition
Dehydration
Hypokalemia, Hyponatremia, Hypocalcemia (bad for patients w/renal stones)
Hyperglycemia
Increased LDL's
Term
Thiazide Diuretics: MOA and Drugs
Definition
MOA: promote Na+ and K+ excretion and reabsorption of Ca++
Hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDiuril)
TZD-like: Metolazone (Zaroxolyn)
Term
Thiazide Diuretics: Adverse Drug Effects
Definition
Orhostatic Hypotension
Hypokalemia
Hyperglycemia, Hypercalcemia
May increase uric acid levels
Photosensitivity
Term
K+ Sparing Diuretics
Aldosterone Antagonist
MOA and Drugs
Definition
MOA: act in collecting tubule to inhibit Na+ reabsorption and K+ excretion. Blockade of the aldosterone receptor.
K+: Triamterene (Dyrenium)
AA: Spironolactone (Aldactone)
Term
K+ Sparing Diuretics
Aldosterone Antagonist
Adverse Drug Effects
Definition
Hyperkalemia
Nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea
Gynecomastia (Aldactone)
Term
Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor (diuretic)
Definition
MOA: inhibits CA causing the reduction of H+ ion secretion at the renal tubule resulting in similar diuretic effects to other classes.
Term
PT Considerations for Diuretics
Definition
Hypokalemia: muscle cramps/weakness, and arrhythmias
Orthostatic hypotension: unsteady gait and fall risk (syncope)
Dehydration
Urinary incontinence
Term
Beta Blockers: MOA and Drugs
Definition
MOA: reduce HR, contractility, PVR. blocking beta receptors leads to blocking of renin release from kidneys, decreasing ATII and aldosterone, causing vasodilation. B1 acts on heart B2 pulmonary.
Atenolol (Tenormin)
Metoprolol (Toprol/Lopressor)
Propranolol (Inderal)
Carvedilol (Coreg)
Term
Beta Blockers: ADE's
Definition
Bradycardia (leads to heart block)
Fatigue, dizziness
Depression, sexual dysfunction
Hyperlipidemia
Bronchoconstriction (caution w/COPD Asthma)
Term
PT Considerations w/patients on B Blockers
Definition
Monitoring: BP, pulse, energy level, dyspnea.
Term
Alpha-Blockers: MOA and Drugs
Definition
MOA: vasodilation and decrease in PVR by selectively blocking alpha-1 adrenergic receptors
Doxazosin (Cardura)
BPH/Enlarged Prostate Treatment:
Tamulosin (Flomax)
Term
Alpha-Blockers: ADE's
Definition
Postural hypotension
Tachycardia
Arrhythmias
Term
Alpha-2 Adrenergic Agonist: MOA and Drugs
Definition
Stimulates A-2 adrenoreceptors in brain stem, activating inhibitory neuron which reduces sympathetic outflow from CNS, decreasing PVR.
Term
Alpha-2 Adrenergic Agonist: ADE's
Definition
Rebound HTN
bradycardia
Raynaud's phenomenon
syncope
angina, CHF, EKG abnormalities
Term
Direct Vasodilators: MOA and Drugs
Definition
MOA: works to cause relaxation of vascular smooth muscle (vasodilation of vessels)
Hydralazine (Apresoline)
Nitroglycerin (Nitrostat)
Term
Calcium Channel Blockers: Drugs
Definition
Non-Dihydropyridine:
-Diltiazem (Cardizem)
-Verapamil (Calan/Verelan)
Dihydropyridine
-Amlodipine (Norvasc)
-Nifedipine (Adalat/Procardia)
Term
Calcium Channel Blockers: MOA and ADE's
Definition
MOA: blockade of calcium influx into smooth muscle w/net vasodilation and decreased PVR
ADE's:
Headache, dizziness, flushing
Hypotension, bradycardia
Sweating, swelling/edema, constipation
DO NOT use CCB and BB's together because of negative inotropic effects (reduce HR)
Term
ACE Inhibitors: MOA and Drugs
Definition
MOA: block action of ACE, blocking production of ATII
Lisinopril (Prinivil/Zestril)
Enalapril (Vasotec)
Term
ACE Inhibitors: ADE's
Definition
Cough
Hypotension
Hyperkalemia
Angioedema
Term
ATII Receptor Blockers(ARB's): MOA&Drugs
Definition
MOA: Allow action of ACE, but block receptor by binding to ATII receptors.
Valsartan (Diovan)
Losartan (Cozaar)
Term
ATII Receptor Blockers(ARB's): ADE's
Definition
hypotension
hyperkalemia
angioedema
NO COUGH like ACE-inhibitors
Term
Renin-Inhibitor: MOA and Drugs
Definition
MOA: Inhibition of renin prevents conversion of angiotensinogen to ATI (inhibits RAAS)
Term
PT Interventions: HR and orthostatic hypotension
Definition
HR: notify physician if HR <60 bpm, monitor for reflex tachycardia
Orthostatic Hypotension: notify physician if systolic BP < 90 mmHg. Instruct patient to perform leg ext, ankle pumps, before rising from chair or bed.
Term
PT Interventions: Dehydration, Urinary incontinence, diuretic-induced hypokalemia
Definition
Dehydration: check for skin turgor, temp, and moisture (even mucus membranes)
Urinary: annoying interruptions and increased fall risk
Diuretic-induced hypokalemia: muscle weakness or cramping which can affect therapy.
Term
PT Interventions: Heat, exercise performance, compliance w/lifestyle mods
Definition
Heat and added vasodilation lowers BP and can cause syncope so AVOID HEAT MODALITIES!!!****
BB's, CCB's, Diuretics and vasodilators all decrease exercise performance.
ppl need to comply with medications
