Treating Hypertension
Diuretic
-
Increase secretion of sodium & water, lowering BV & BP
DH concerns: hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, hypercalcemia
Calcium Channel Blockers
ADEs: CNS, GI bradycardia, respiratory
-
-
B- Adrenergic Blockers
Decreases arterial pressure of the heart, decreases cardiac output, lowers sympathetic effect to blood vessels
ADEs: GI, bradycardia, mental depression, decreased sexual ability
-
ACE Inhibitors
ADEs: Hypotension, CNS, GI, respiratory, hyperkalemia, allergic reactions
Adjusts the quantities of sodium and water retained (circulatory volume) and the peripheral resistance (blood vessels)
DH concerns: Altered taste, dry, hacking cough, lichenoid or pemphigoid reactions
A1-Blocking Agents
ADEs: orthostatic hypotension, CNS, tachycardia, arrhythmias, palpitations
DH concerns: orthostatic hypotension dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, nervousness. Avoid NSAIDs, epinephrine
Peripheral vasodilation in the arterioles & venules, which decreases peripheral vascular resistance. Little effect on cardiac output or renal blood flow
