Autonomic/CV Drugs Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards
Flashcard 1: vardenafil
Answer: PDE5 inhibitor
Extra: erectile dysfunction patients taking nitrates (lethal hypotension) inhbit phosphodiesterase 5, resulting in increased cGMP and smooth muscle relaxation in corpus cavernosum headache, flushing, impaired blue-green color vision, hypotension, dyspepsia
Flashcard 2: sildenafil
Answer: PDE5 inhibitor
Extra: erectile dysfunction patients taking nitrates (lethal hypotension) inhbit phosphodiesterase 5, resulting in increased cGMP and smooth muscle relaxation in corpus cavernosum headache, flushing, impaired blue-green color vision, hypotension, dyspepsia
Flashcard 3: What is the effect of high-dose Aspirin (salicylates) on oxidative phosphorylation?
Answer: Uncouples oxidative phosphorylation (increases permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane)
Extra: Aspirin (salicylates) in high doses uncouples oxidative phosphorylation, leading to a decreased ATP production and increased heat production (fever). It also contributes to the metabolic acidosis seen in salicylate toxicity.
