Q

Where do CCB have their effect?

A

They cause vasodilation and reduces BP in the smooth muscle, including bronchiolar, GI, and uterine SM
(Makes them good meds for COPD since they relax the bronchi SM)
And in some cases (Verapamil, Diltiazem) affect cardiac muscle as well

Q

How does CCB work for Angina and which drugs?
Used for Prinzmetal Angina?
Effort Angina?

A

1.)They increase peripheral vasodilation decreasing afterload
2.)Coronary vasodilation (such as Nifedipine and nicardipine)
3.)Cardio-depressant effects and tissue protective effects via decreased Ca levels causes decreased oxidation
Prinzmetal angina is treated with any CCB as first line treatment (usually nifedipine)
Effort angina treated with verapamil or diltiazem, decreased inotropy causes decreased load on heart and longer time in diastole phase (more oxygen)

24
Q

Long acting (11-50 hours) CCBs

A

Amlodipine, Lacidipine

25
Q

Adverse effects of CCBs

A
  1. ) Cardiac depression
    - Verapamil and diltiazem causes bradycardia, AV block, and cardiac arrest
  2. ) Reflex Tachycardia (usually fast acting drugs)
    - immediate-acting nifedipine increases MI risk in HF patients via increased HR
  3. )Gingival Hyperplasia (with verapamil)
  4. )Vasodilatory side effects-flushing, dizziness, headache, peripheral edema
  5. ) GI effects- nausea, constipation (via GI SM relaxation; >25% with verapamil)
26
Q

Contraindications/Interaction of CCBs

A

Heart block
Heart failure in advanced or acute HF
Beta blockers- coadministration of BB and non-DHPs can excessively depress nodal/ventricular function however BBs can be helpful with DHPs to decreased reflex tachycardia

27
Q

Specific Drugs contraindications

A

Verapamil- greatest cardio-depressant effects
Diltiazem- intermediate cardio-depressive and vasodilatory effects
Nifedipine- higher risk of sfx: flushing, headache and edema; increased mortality risk in post-MI patient due to reflex tachycardia

28
Q

Nitrate mode of action?

A

Metabolism in the vascular SM by CYP450 and glutathione S-thransferase causes the release of NO.
NO activates guanylate cylcase increasing cGMP leading to decrease IC Ca2+ and MLC kinase activity causing relaxation of SM and vasodilation

29
Q

Where do Nitrates have their effect in low doses?

High doses?

A

Dilates coronaries and vein to decrease preload. In higher doses dilates arteries/arterioles decreasing afterload

30
Q

What causes tolerance of Nitrates?

A

metabolism requires -SH group; eventual sulfhydryl depletion

31
Q

Drugs that reduce the tolerance of nitrates? How do they reduce tolerance

A

NAS, captopril, antioxidants, or periodic withdrawal will decrease tolerance
Contain sulfhydryl group so can replace metabolized store and remove free radicals

32
Q

What are the relevant cardiomyocyte function done by nitrates

A

ATP-dependent K+ channels stimulation reducing intracellular Ca2+ which is high in IHD

33
Q

Which form of nitrates forms tolerance quicker?

A

Pills and transdermal pathces

34
Q

Name of nitrate drugs

A
  1. )Nitroglycerin
  2. )Isosorbide mononitrate
  3. )Isosorbide dinitrate
  4. )Amylium nitricum
35
Q

Nitroglycerin sublingual and oral onset time? DOA?

A
  1. ) Sublingual onset is 2-3 minutes with a DOA of 2-3 hours

2. ) Oral onset is longer and DOA is 3-5 hours

36
Q

Isosorbide mononitrate onset and DOA?

A

Oral med that takes half an hour-2 hours onset with a 12-14 hour duration

37
Q

Isosorbide dinitrate absorption. Sublingual and oral onset and DOA?

A

transformed to mononitrate in liver. Sublingual 5-10 minute onset with a 1 duration of action
Oral onset is 2-4 hour onset and 8 hour duration of action

38
Q

Amylium nitricum inhaled onset and duration of action

A

NOT used anymore as a drug in regular practice.

Fast onset with 5 min duration of action

39
Q

Indications of Nitrate drugs?

A
  1. ) Angina- chronic stable (effort) and Prinzmetal angina (w/ CCB + BB)
  2. )Acute coronary syndromes
  3. ) Hypertensive emergency
  4. ) pulmonary edema- as an acute treatment
  5. ) Ischemic Heart Disease
40
Q

Contraindication of Nitrate drugs

A
  1. ) Right-sided MI due to decreased RV preload (instead IV fluids to increase preload)
  2. ) PDE5 inhibitor treatment- sildenafil should not be taken within 24 hours of nitrates
  3. ) HOCM- LV outlfow obstruction + resultant decrease in ejection fraction is worsened by decreased preload from nitrate
41
Q

Side effects of Nitrate drugs

A

Lose dose
1.) Headache- strong cerebral vasodilation; increase migraine attack risk
2.) Flushing and dizziness
High dose
1.) Orthostatic hypotension- via venous pooling
2.) Reflex tachycardia- coadmin BB to counteract this
3.) Methemoglobinemia- Prolonged IV infusion; nitrite reacts with hemoglobin causing ferrous to ferric iron conversion in Hgb which lowers Hemoglobin affinity for O2

42
Q

Nirate-related drugs (2 drugs)

A

Nicorandil and Molsidomin

43
Q

MOA of Nicorandil

A 
NO donor (less tolerance) and direct ATP-dependent K+ channel stimulator
-decreases preload and dilates coronaries
44
Q

MOA of Molsidomin

A

SIN-1 (active metabolite) direct vasodilaters and a spontaneous NO donor (doesn’t need -SH enzymes)
-Decreases preload and dilates the coronaries

45
Q

Other Vasodilators (5 drugs)

A
  1. ) Sodium Nitroprusside
  2. ) Minoxidil
  3. ) Diazoxide
  4. ) Hydralazine
  5. ) Dihydralazine
46
Q

Sodium Nitroprusside MOA

A

Releases NO causing systemic vasodilation (both arterial and venous) which decreases pre/afterload almost immediately

47
Q

Sodium Nitroprusside Indications

A

Hypertensive emergency and severe HF that is refractory (doesn’t respond to any other drugs)

48
Q

Sodium Nitroprusside Side Effects

A
  1. ) Lactic acidosis from CN- release causing altered mental status/seizures, monitor lactate continuously
  2. ) Intoxication after 2 days use causes headache, nausea, vomiting, and disorientation
  3. )Hypotension
49
Q

Sodium Nitroprusside Kinetics and byproduct

A

Onset is 30 seconds and 3 of DOA (given in slow infusion for long duration)
-Sulphocyanide is formed from it in the liver leading to side effects; elimination takes 3 days to occur

50
Q

Minoxidil and Diazoxide MOA

A

Stimulates ATP-dependent K channels causing hyperpolarization leading to inhibit Ca influx=SM relaxation
Mainly arterial vasodilation

51
Q

Minoxidil and Diazoxide side effects

A
  1. ) Salt and water retention via indirect renin section increases
  2. )Increased blood glucose (hyperglycemia)- stimulation of beta cells SUR K channels
  3. ) Increased Uric acid (hyperuricemia)
  4. ) Increased hair growth- minoxidil is used as a topical cream for hair loss
52
Q

Minoxidil and Diazoxide indication

A

Hypertensive emergencies- combine with BB to reduce tachycardia and diuretic to decrease Na/water retention

53
Q

Minoxidil and Diazoxide contraindications

A

Ischemic heart disease since they cause reflex tachycardia

54
Q

57
Q

Hydralazine and Dihyrdalazine Side Effects

A
  • Sudden hypotension- reflex tachycardia and Na/water retention (via SNS and RAAS activation) and may worsen angina (often co-admin with BB to counterat this)
  • Lupus-like syndrome athralgia, myalgia, percarditis, pleuritis, rash and fever
