Angina Flashcards
Differentiate between stable angina and unstable angina
unstable angina does not improve with rest and nytroglycerine
Differentiate between Prinzmetal angina and
unstable angina
in variant angina the cause of decr blood flow to the heart is from coronary artery spasms instead of a block in the coronary artery
Name beta blockers
Metoprolol and atenolol
Name organic nitrates (3)
nitroglycerine, isosorbide dinitrate, isosorbide mononitrate
name calcium channel blockers (NVAFD)
Nife-dipine 🔪
vera-pa-mil
amlo-dipine
felo-dipine
dil-tia-zem
Name sodium channel blockers (1)
Rano-lazi-ne
Explain MOA for organic nitrates
Release NO -> incr cGMP -> relax vascular smooth muscles
Explain MOA for beta Blockers
Inhibit B- adrenergic receptors ->decr HR and contractility
Explain MOA for CCB
Inhibit Ca++ influx -> relax vascular smooth muscle & decr HR
Explain MOA for NA+ channel blockers
Modulates NA+ and Ca++ channels in myocardial cells to decr cardiac oxygen demand
List side effects of organic nitrates
headache, OH -> tachy, nausea, facial flushing
List side effects of CCB
dizziness, headache, flushing, edema, constipation
List side effects of beta blockers
Fatigue, brady, hypotensive, bronchospasms (not good for asthmatics)
Pt considerations for pt on agina meds
BP, angina sx, RX exercise, side effects and PT edu.
Side effects of NA channel blockers
Dizziness , heachahe, constipation
