Study Notes
- Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors: prevent conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, lowering blood pressure and reducing afterload on the heart.
- Mechanism of Action: prevent binding of angiotensin II to its receptors.
- Therapeutic Uses: treatment of hypertension, heart failure, and post-myocardial infarction.
- Adverse Effects: dry cough, angioedema, and hyperkalemia.
- Individual Drugs: captopril, enalapril, lisinopril, etc.
- Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonists: block the effects of angiotensin II by preventing it from binding to its receptors.
- Mechanism of Action: act as competitive antagonists.
- Therapeutic Uses: treatment of hypertension, heart failure, and nephropathy.
- Adverse Effects: dizziness, headache, and diarrhea.
- Individual Drug - Losartan: a commonly used antagonist.
- Ganglion Blockers: prevent the transmission of nerve impulses from the sympathetic nervous system, resulting in decreased muscle tone and vasodilation.
- Mechanism of Action: block the action of acetylcholine at the sympathetic ganglia.
- Therapeutic Uses: treatment of hypertension, angina pectoris, and some forms of heart failure.
- Adverse Effects: dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation.
- Adrenergic Drugs: act on the adrenergic nervous system, which is a part of the sympathetic nervous system.
- Centrally Acting Sympatholytic Drugs: inhibit the action of the sympathetic nervous system in the central nervous system.
- Sympatholytics (Adrenergic Receptor Blockers): block the action of sympathetic nerves, reducing heart rate and blood pressure.
- Calcium Channel Blockers: prevent the entry of calcium ions into the cells of the heart and blood vessels, reducing the force of heart contractions and relaxing blood vessels.
- Classification: based on the type of calcium channel they block.
- Mechanism of Action: prevent the flow of calcium ions through the channels.
- Therapeutic Uses: treatment of angina, hypertension, and certain types of heart rhythm disorders.
- Adverse Effects: dizziness, headache, and arrhythmias.
- Vasodilators: widen the diameter of the blood vessels, reducing the resistance to blood flow and reducing blood pressure.
- Mechanism of Action: act on the smooth muscles of the blood vessels, causing relaxation and dilation.
- Therapeutic Uses: treatment of hypertension, angina, and heart failure.
- Adverse Effects: headache, dizziness, and flushing.
- Anti-Anginal Drugs: used to treat angina (chest pain).
- Introduction: include drugs that work by different mechanisms to relieve angina symptoms.
- Organic Nitrites & Nitrates: act by donating nitric oxide, causing vasodilation and reducing the demand for oxygen in the heart muscle.
- Mechanism of Action: release nitric oxide, which relaxes the smooth muscles of the blood vessels.
- Therapeutic Uses: used to treat angina pectoris.
- Adverse Effects: headache, dizziness, and tachycardia.
- Individual Drugs: nitroglycerin, isosorbide mononitrate, and isosorbide dinitrate.
- Calcium Channel Blockers: prevent the entry of calcium ions into the cells of the heart and blood vessels, reducing the force of heart contractions and relaxing blood vessels.
- Mechanism of Action: prevent the flow of calcium ions through the channels.
- Therapeutic Uses: used to treat angina and hypertension.
- Adverse Effects: dizziness, headache, and arrhythmias.
- Potassium Channel Openers: increase the permeability of the cell membranes to potassium ions, causing hyperpolarization and relaxation of the smooth muscles of the blood vessels.
- Mechanism of Action: act by opening potassium channels in the cell membranes.
- Therapeutic Uses: used to treat angina and hypertension.
- Adverse Effects: hypokalemia, arrhythmias, and hyperkalemia.
