Cardiac Drugs

3. inhibitors (2 words) forms: enalapril, benazepril, captopril, lisinopril, ramipril
5. mixed vasodilator that does not activate RAAS
6. potassium channel blocker with similar actions to propranolol that is replacing quinidine as drug of choice for anti arrhythmic
10. (vermedin) produces balanced vasodilation leading to reduction of both cardia preload and after load
13. catecholamine rarely used to treat cardiac disease but may be useful for atropine-resistant bradycardia
14. sodium channel blocker used for premature ventricular contraction, ventricular tachycardia and some forms of atrial tachycardia
16. sodium channel blocker used in small animals and horses for ventricular arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation
19. Positive Inotropic drug aka cardiac glycosides
20. beta blocker that reduces HR, cardiac output and BP
21. arterial vasodilator used to reduce after load associated w/ CHF (esp if caused by mitral valve insufficiency)

1. calcium channel blocker that is used to treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in cats
2. new class of positive inoptropes used to inhibit enzymes that increase cellular calcium (2 words)
4. drug of choice for cardiac arrest
7. used short term in patients w/ acute, severe hypertension but must be monitored closely to prevent hypotension
8. very powerful diuretic used for removing edema from animals w/ heart failure
9. potassium sparing diuretic
11. ventodilator that reduces preload usually in the form or an ointment or patch requiring proper PPE
12. increases cardiac contractility and HR, also increases renal perfusion
15. beta blocker used is lidocaine isn't working in cases of refractory v-tach
17. arterai vasodilator, calcium channel blocker and also as peripheral arteriolar vasodilator to decrease after load
18. local anesthetic and anti arrhythmic used for PVC and V-tach
