Q

what happens when you use coronary dilators with angina

32
Q

what is coronary steal

A

when drugs dilate the coronary vessels, there is a reduced flow to ischemic tissues and more to normal tissues

33
Q

what is the diastolic coronary artery pressure going to be distal to plaque COMPARED to before plaque

A

it will be smaller than before plaque

34
Q

what happens to LVEDP when the ischemic heart starts to fail

A

it increases

35
Q

what 2 things happen when the plaque occludes the vessel

A

hypoxia and anginal pain

36
Q

what are 3 different ways that anti-anginal drugs can work

A
  • lower LVEDP (reduce preload)
  • prolong diastolic time (reduce HR)
  • reduce work load (reduce O2 demand)
37
Q

what is 1 thing all anti-anginal drugs do

A

reduce cardiac work load

38
Q

what do anti-anginal drugs do to LVEDP

A

decrease

39
Q

what do anti-anginal drugs do to diastolic time

A

prolong

40
Q

what do anti-anginal drugs do to HR

A

decrease

41
Q

what do anti-anginal drugs do to work load

A

reduce

42
Q

what do anti-anginal drugs do to oxygen demand

A

reduce

43
Q

what is an example of a venodilator

A

nitroglycerine (glyceryl trinitrate)

44
Q

what does nitroglycerine do to the LVEDP

A

lower

45
Q

does nitroglycerine affect veins or arterioles more

what effect

A

dilates veins more than arterioles

46
Q

what does nitroglycerine do to venous capacitance

A

increase

47
Q

what does nitroglycerine do to venous pooling

A

increase

48
Q

what does nitroglycerine do to venous return

A

decrease

49
Q

what does nitroglycerine do to LVEDP

A

decrease

50
Q

what does nitroglycerine do to preload

A

decrease

51
Q

what happens to stroke volume when you decrease LVEDP

A

decrease

52
Q

what does nitroglycerine do to arterial pressure

A

decrease

53
Q

what does nitroglycerine do to stroke volume

A

decrease

54
Q

what does nitroglycerine do to workload

A

decrease (CW=SV x AP)

55
Q

what does nitroglycerine do to oxygen consumption

A

decrease

56
Q

what does nitroglycerine do to coronary vessels

A

causes vasodilation (but not steal/ not too much)

57
Q

does nitroglycerine cause coronary steal?

A

no

58
Q

what does nitroglycerine do to collateral vessels!!!!

when is propranolol especially useful

A

after the first myocardial infarction to prevent re-infarction

Q

what are 2 ways to prevent heart attack (drugs)

A

low dose aspiring, antianginals (b blockers, ca channel blockers)

77
Q

how do nitrates relax coronary smooth muscle

A

they act like NO from endothelial cells

78
Q

what creates erection (3)

A

NO release from nerves in penis, relax smooth muscle, fills with blood

79
