Q

What are some of the diagnostic procedures used to determine IHD [Ischemic Heart Disease]?

A
  • Can use a ECG, will show whether the patient has ST Elevation [more CAS - Variant] or ST Depression [during an event or NSTEMI]
  • Exercise testing: will help with looking at the ECG to see and abnormalities
  • Heart Cath to see what is really happening within the arteries

Q

What is the role of atherosclerotic plaque, platelets and coagulation systems in CAD?

A
  • Atherosclerotic plaques are a build up of fat due to monocytes becoming macrophages within the cell, eating up all the cholesterol.
  • They then rupture, activating the clotting cascade making a thrombus - narrowing & blocking the arteries

Q

What are some of the variables that influence myocardial oxygen supply and demand?

A
  • Increase heart rate, contractility, preload, afterload [increase demand while decrease supply]
  • Any sort of blockage in the arteries [decrease supply]

Q

What is the mechanism of Aspirin?

A
  • At low doses, it inhibits COX-1 = blocking the formation of TXA2 [platelet aggregant and vasoconstrictor]
  • At high doses, it inhibits COX-2 = blocking PGI2 [allowing platelets to aggregate]

Q

Describe what NO STENT is in terms of a clinical scenario?

A
  • Basically they do not put a stent in just yet, they just use ASPIRIN as a secondary prevention [could also use Clopidigrel if aspirin allergy]

Q

Describe what PCI + STENT is in terms of a clinical scenario?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • They do a HEART CATH [PCI] on the patient seeing if they are in need of a STENT or NOT [Before; they give the patient 325mg of Aspirin and 300-600mg of Clopidigrel]
20
Q

What are the two different types of STENTS?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • BMS [Bare Metal Stent]: Just what is sounds like, a metal stent that helps open the arteries [no meds released; clopidigrel for only 1 MONTH]
  • DES [Drug Eluting Stent]: Stent that releases Anti-anginals so cells cant grow in that section [Clopidigrel for 6 MONTHS]
21
Q

What do ACEi/ARBs do for ACS prevention?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Reduce the cholesterol build up, which helps with reducing the plaques [doesn’t help with ischemia but helps with the cardiovascular events]
  • Use ARBs when there is a dry cough
22
Q

What are some way that we are able to decrease myocardial demand?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Beta Blockers and NON DHP: decrease HR and Contractility
  • Nitrates: Preload
  • DHP: Afterload
23
Q

What are some ways that we are able to increase myocardial supply?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Dilation of the arteries and increase blood flow: Nitrates
24
Q

What medicaitons do we use for the acute treatment of angina?

Study These Flashcards
A

Nitroglycerin

25
What are the effects that NTG has on myocardial oxygen?
- Increase supply: Dilation of the arteries - Decrease Demand: Because of the decrease in preload; the heart isn't stretching as much
26
How to properly take NTG?
- Can take up to 3 tabs; taking one every 5 minutes -- call 911 if the first tab doesn't work
27
What are some side effects for NTG?
- Headache [most common], Hypotension, dizziness, lightheadedness... - DO NOT take with NSAIDs - DO NOT take with PDE5i [Cause massive dilation]
28
What are some of the drugs used in the PREVENTION of ischemia and angina sypmtoms?
Beta-Blockers, CCBs, Nitrates
29
What effects do the Beta-Blockers have on the myocardial?
- It will block Norepi and Epi from binding to the Beta Receptors [will decrease the HR, Contractility, Afterload - ALL will decrease DEMAND]
30
Describe the cardioselectivity of the Beta-Blockers?
B1: Metoprolol, Atenolol, Bisoprolol, Nebivolol [Heart] B2: Propranolol, Nadolol Sotaolol, Pindolol [Lungs] Mixed: Carvedilol, Labetolol [B1, B2, a]
31
What might happen if given a higher does of a B1 selective beta-blocker?
It could cause some B2 blockage
32
What are some of the side effects of teh Beta-Blockers?
- Bradycardia [Decreased HR], Sinus Arrest [NO HR], AV blockage
33
What are the monitoring parameters that we should pay attention toward when giving a Beta-Blockers?
- Goal HR: 50 - 60BPM at rest; <100BPM during exercise - Amount of NTG tabs used
34
What is the mechanism of action for the Calcium Channel Blockers?
- Block the passage of external Ca2+ from entering into the cell; this I'll not all the binding of Ca2+ to Calmodulin - decreasing the producing of MLCK, which will DECREASE contraction
35
What are the two classes of CCBs?
DHP: "-pines" [will have more of an effect on ARTERIES] NON DHP: "Verapamil & Diltiazem [will have more of an effect on the HEART - mainly the SA and AV node]
36
What are the side effects for the CCBs?
- DHP: Hypotension, Dizziness, Lightheadness [Similar to Nitrates], Edema - NON DHP: Decrease contractility, Bradycardia, AV Block, Constipation [V>D]
37
How should we monitor someone on a CCB?
- Amount of NTG usage - Goal HR: 50 - 60BPM at rest; <100BPM during exercise
38
How do Nitrates help with Prevention of anginial symptoms?
- They will dilate the veins causing an increase in blood flow [increasing the supply while reducing the demand] - Will decrease preload
39
What causes Nitrate Tolerance?
- It occurs with high does or frequent usage of nitrate = decreasing the response of them
40
How to prevent Nitrate Tolerance?
- Need to have a Nitrate FREE period of at least 10 - 12 hours
41
What should you monitor for when taking Nitrates?
- Amount of NTG tabs taken - SE: headache, hypotension
42
What is the mechanism of Ranolazine?
- Inhinbition of late inward Na+ current in ishcemic myocytes, Decreases Na+ causing decrease Ca2+ influx
43
When should Ranolazine be used?
- Combo with Beta-Blockers, CCBs or Nitrates when they aren't working well - Monotherapy: When BP and HR are too low for the first line agents [DOES NOT effect BP, HR, Inotropy or Perfusion]
44
What are the adverse side effects of Ranolazine?
- Constipation, Nausea, Dizziness, Headache - QT interval Increase
45
What are the selection of drug therapy for chronic stable angina?
Beta-Blockers, Nitrates, CCBs
46
When should Beta-Blockers be used in therapy?
- 1st line therapy without contraindications [Bradycardia, AV block, sinus syndrome]
