This side effect of heparin makes the drugs you just named necessary alternatives in some patients. 
Name a competitive inhibitor of thrombin.

Familial hyperchylomicronemia results from a lack of this enzyme that is activated by ApoCII. 
Which type of cholesterol particle is protective against heart disease when elevated? 
Name a drug that reduces cholesterol by binding to bile acids and preventing their recirculation (but that can also raise triglycerides!). 
Name a drug that inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, a critical enzyme for the biosynthesis of cholesterol. 
The side effects of statins include drug interactions, liver dysfunction, and damage to this type of cell. 
Name a drug that blocks intestinal absorption of cholesterol 
Name a fibrate, a drug that activates PPAR-gamma to reduce trigylceride and LDL levels. 
Name a drug that is more useful for raising HDL than for lowering LDL, though it does a little of that, too. 
Below what number is the goal LDL level for a patient with coronary heart disease? 
Above what value are at least dietary and lifestyle changes recommended for a patient with no other risk factors for heart disease? 
HTN/CHF
In order to be a good osmotic diuretic, a substance should be nontoxic, pharmacologically and metabolically inert, and filtered, but not what? 
Name an osmotic diuretic 
Why isn't mannitol prescribed for outpatients? In other words, how is it delivered? 
Mannitol can relieve cerebral edema or angle closure glaucoma because it doesn't enter what organs? 
Thiazide Diuretics work in this part of the renal tubule. 
Name a thiazide diuretic 
Chlorthalidone works better than hydrochlorothiazide because it has a longer ____. 
Thiazide diruetics reduce blood pressure by opening a channel in vascular smooth muscle that lets this ion through 
ARBs and ACE inhibitors reduce aldosterone stimulation, preventing the side effect most diuretics have of reducing levels of this ion. 
Name the prototypical loop diuretic 
Name the ion channel blocked by the drug you just named 
Name a molecule that is upregulated in endothelial cells by furosemide, leading to a drop in blood pressure. 
Without the NKCC2 cotransporter, will the osmolarity of urine be greater than, less than, or the same as that of plasma? 
Name a potassium-sparing diuretic. 
What systolic pressure is the target for an individual with no comorbid conditions?
