Pharmacology: Blood & Inflammation (Dyslipidemia drugs) _____ are the most effective drugs for decreasing serum triglycerides

Side effects of PDE-5 inhibitors include headache, flushing, _____, and cyanopia (blue-tinted vision)

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

_____ 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

_____ is a selective endothelin receptor A (ET A) antagonist which is used in the management of pulmonary artery hypertension

Cardiovascular _____ blockers are a first-line treatment for Prinzmetal angina, due to their ability to prevent vasoconstriction in the coronary vasculature

Beta-blockers treat angina by reducing _____ and contractility, thus decreasing myocardial O2 demand

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

Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs) _____ CCBs may be used to treat Raynaud's phenomenon, which is an exaggerated vascular response to cold temperature or emotional stress
