Cardiovascular Drugs — Flashcards

Class _____ antiarrhythmics treat arrhythmias by blocking sympathetic input to the SA and AV nodes

All type III antiarrhythmics (K+ channel blockers) can _____ the QT interval on EKG

_____ is a newer antiarrhythmic agent indicated in atrial fibrillation.

PCSK9 Inhibitors (_____ and evolocumab) work by inactivating LDL-receptor degradation, resulting in a dramatic decrease in LDL

Dyslipidemia drugs _____ upregulate the enzyme lipoprotein lipase (LPL) by activating PPAR-

Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs) _____ CCBs are relatively contraindicated in patients with heart block or heart failure due to their ability to cause cardiac depression

Cardiovascular/Renal_____ is a direct renin inhibitor

_____ inhibitors such as sildenafil (viagra) cause decreased cGMP breakdown, thus maintaining an erection

Digoxin exerts parasympathomimetic effects via direct stimulation of the _____ nerve, causing AV nodal inhibition

Because Class IC antiarrhythmics have a strong binding affinity and dissociate primarily during diastole, an _____ heart rate results in an increased QRS complex
