Across
  1. 2. (Apresoline) Prototype Vasodilator of arterioles (HR increases)PO & IV
  2. 4. Prototype Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs)(lowers BP)
  3. 6. Catecholamine (increases myocardial contractility and does not activate Alpha 1) IV
  4. 7. Beta-blocker (lowers HR & BP)
  5. 8. (Minipress) Prototype Alpha adrenergic antagonist (causes vasodilation and lowers BP & CO)*1st dose effect warning
  6. 10. Prototype Vasodilator Anti-anginal (reduces BP & chest pain)*3 doses/5mins SL
  7. 12. Muscarinic antagonists (increases HR) ICU Emergency use and pretreatment for surgery
  8. 13. (Aldomet)Central Acting Alpha 2 agonist (reduces BP)
  9. 14. (Calan) Calcium Channel Blocker (lowers HR & BP)(Uses: Angina, HTN, a-fib)
  10. 15. Catecholamine (activates Beta 1 to increase HR and Alpha 1 to reduce CO/lowers BP)
  11. 19. (Procardia) Calcium Channel Blocker (lowers HR & BP)(Uses: Angina & HTN)
  12. 21. (FloLipid) HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (reduces LDL & elevate HDL)*grapefruit inhibits CYP3A4
  13. 24. (Serpasil)Central Acting Alpha 2 agonist (reduces BP)
  14. 25. (lowers HR & BP) Alpha & Beta-blocker
  15. 26. (Digitalis) Cardiac Glycosides (Lowers HR for HF)
  16. 27. (Cardizem) Calcium Channel Blocker (lowers HR & BP)(Uses: Angina, HTN, a-fib)
  17. 28. (Prinivil/Zestril) ACE Inhibitor (lowers BP)
  18. 29. (Zetia) Prototype Cholesterol blocker (reduces LDL, TG, total cholesterol, and slight raise in HDL)
Down
  1. 1. (Lipitor) Prototype HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (reduces LDL & elevate HDL)*grapefruit inhibits CYP3A4
  2. 3. (Vasotec) ACE Inhibitor (lowers BP IV in severe HTN)
  3. 5. Anti-Dysrhythmic (decreases automaticity in SA node and slows conduction through AV node)
  4. 9. Prototype Nonselective Beta 1 & 2 blocker (lowers HR & BP) usually PO, but IV occasionally
  5. 11. Prototype ACE Inhibitor (lowers BP)
  6. 12. (Norvasc) Calcium Channel Blocker (lowers HR & BP)(Uses: Angina & HTN)

  8. 17. (Lopid) Prototype Fibric Acid Derivatives (Decreases VLDL, TG, & increases HDL)
  9. 18. Selective Beta1-blocker (lowers HR & BP) *1st choice antihypertensive
  10. 20. Anti-Anginal SL or PO
  11. 22. (Nicotinic Acid) Reduces LDL & TG levels, can also increase HDL)
  12. 23. (Catapres) Prototype Central Acting Alpha 2 agonist (affects brain stem and reduces BP)
