-
Agents associated with reflex tachycardia
- DHPs: nifedipine, nicardipine, nisoldipine, nimodipine, isradipine, felodipine, amlodipine, clevidipine
- Non-specific alpha blockers
- vasodialators
-
Agents NOT associated with reflex tachycardia
- PAH vasodialators: epoprostenol, treprostinil, iloprost
- Neseritide
- Nitroprusside
- beta-1 selective antagonists
- alpha-2 antagonists
- ganglionic blockers: reserpine and metyrosine
-
Agents causing fluid retention
- alpha-blockers
- Vasodialators
-
Agents that don't cause fluid retention
- diuretics, ACEI/ARB/RI, BB, Fenoldopam, Neseritide
- CCBs: cause peripheral edema NOT fluid retention
-
Agents associated with orthostasis
- Vasodialators
- Nitrates
- Metyrosine
- NSAB > SAB
- ***Reserpine has a slow blocking of NE, so it's compensated and there's not orthostasis
-
Agents have dangerous rebound HTN
- alpha-2 agonists
- Nitroprusside
-
Agents causing decreased heart rate or even bradycardia
-
Agents exacerbating angina/MI
- hydralazine - vasodialator by giving you reflex tachy
- minoxidil - increase HR, force of contratction
- DHPs - due to reflex tachy
-
Agents tx pheochromocytoma
- metyrosine
- BBs - symptoms
- NSAB - symptoms
-
-
Agents tx HTN emergency
- Nitroprusside
- Fenoldopam
- Esmolol
-
