ACS/AMI II Flashcards
Formula for volume of contrast that will cause CIN
Vol. Contrast = 4 x CrCl
In pt’s with stage II or III CKD and UA/NSTEMI, is early invasive or conservative strategy preferred?
Invasive (Class IIa)
what to do for pt w/ 2 vessel dz (incld pLAD) and LV dysfxn?
CABG
What did TACTICS-TIMI 18 show for women with UA/NSTEMI?
Had more death, MI, and hospitalization if low trop and LHC
Reasonable
Class IIa
what GRACE score is high risk?
> 140
What is the timing of cath in early invasive strategy?
12-24 hrs
Reasons for NSTEMI with normal coronary anatomy on angio
Auto lysis of thrombus
Spasm
Non coronary trops (PE, etc)
Name 2 platelet receptors that can activate platelets
Thrombin receptor
ADP receptor
Thienopyridines (clopidogrel, prasugrel) mech
Irreversibly Block P2Y12 receptor and inhibit ADP-induced plt activation
Ticagrelor mech
Non-thienopyridine REVERSIBLE antagonist of P2Y12 ADP platelet receptor
GP 2b3a inhibitors and reversibility
Eptifibatide
Tirofiban (reversible)
Abciximab (irreversible)
Class I indication in NSTEMI for pt’s intolerant of ASA
Clopidogrel
Chronic ASA dosing after DES
325 for 3-6 mo’s
After 3-6 mo’s, 81mg indefinitely
CURE study
Lower stroke/MI/CV Death w/ Plavix & ASA c/w ASA & placebo
What to remember about pt’s who are poor metabolizes from abnormal CYP2C19 fxn?
Clopidogrel is less effective, consider alternative treatment
which trial showed that carriers of reduced fxn allele CYP2C19 have higher incidence of CV death, MI, or stroke?
TRITON-TIMI 38
Does prasugrel get affected by poor CYP2C19 metabolism?
No
Which anti platelets are Class I before PCI in NSTEMI?
Plavix
GP2b3a
What did TRITON TIMI 38 show for Plavix vs prasugrel?
Prasugrel had lower CV death, MI AND STROKE
Contraindications to prasugrel
Prior CVA
Age> 75
Weight <60kg
What did TRITON TIMI 38 show for IST?
50% Lower with prasugrel c/w clopidogrel
Why is ticagrelor faster acting than clopidogrel?
B/c it is not a prodrug
Which anti platelet drug reversibly binds to ADP receptor? When can that come in handy?
Ticagrelor
Need for Sx
Which trial showed that ticagrelor lowers death from vascular causes and IST c/t Plavix?
PLATO
