Angina Flashcards
What is the class for Aspirin (Unit IV)
NSAID
What is the mechanism for Aspirin (Unit IV)
Irreversible inhibition of platelet COX
What are the therapeutics for Aspirin (Unit IV)
Reduction in adverse events (MI, CVA, death); for those w/stable angina, unstable angina, acute MI, prophylaxis
What are the miscellaneous for Aspirin (Unit IV)
Low-doses; if you’re allergic, you’ll get asthma
What is the class for Ticlopidine (Ticlid)
Thienopyridine derivitive
What is the mechanism for Ticlopidine (Ticlid)
Inhibits platelet aggregation by ADP; reduces blood viscosity by decreasing plasma fibrinogen and increasing RBC deformability
What are the therapeutics for Ticlopidine (Ticlid)
Aspirin alternative
What are the important side effects for Ticlopidine (Ticlid)
Neutropenia and, rarely, TTP
What are the miscellaneous for Ticlopidine (Ticlid)
Not really used anymore
What is the class for Clopidogrel (Plavix)
Thienopyridine derivitive
What is the mechanism for Clopidogrel (Plavix)
Selectively and irreversibly inhibits ADP binding to P2Y12 (blocks ADP-dependent activation of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex)
What are the therapeutics for Clopidogrel (Plavix)
Great antithrombotic
What are the important side effects for Clopidogrel (Plavix)
Bleeding
What are the miscellaneous for Clopidogrel (Plavix)
No surgical or dental procedures if patient taking this
What is the class for Prasugrel (Effient)
Thienopyridine derivitive
What is the mechanism for Prasugrel (Effient)
Irreversibly binds P2Y12 receptor (G protein-coupled chemoreceptor for ADP)
What are the therapeutics for Prasugrel (Effient)
Reduce thrombotic events in those w/percutaneous coronary intervention (e.g., stent)
What are the important side effects for Prasugrel (Effient)
Massive bleeding risk
What is the class for Dipyradimole (Persantine)
Pyrimido-pyrimidine derivitive
What is the mechanism for Dipyradimole (Persantine)
Increases platelet intracellular cAMP (inhibits phosphodiesterase 5, activates adenylate cyclase, inhibits uptake of adenosine from vascular endothelium and RBCs)
What are the therapeutics for Dipyradimole (Persantine)
Decrease peripheral vascular disease (as an adjunct); stress test of heart
What are the important side effects for Dipyradimole (Persantine)
Vasodilation of coronary arteries can enhance exercise-induced ischemia (because it elevates extracellular adenosine levels)
What is the class for ACE inhibitors
ACE inhibitor
What is the mechanism for ACE inhibitors
Blocks endothelial ACE from converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II (potent vasoconstrictor); as a side effect, also prevents breakdown of bradykinin (potent vasodilator)
What are the therapeutics for ACE inhibitors
Often used as an add-on antihypertensive for anyone with chronic kidney disease/proteinuria, CHF, left ventricular hypertrophy, or post-MI (prevents left ventricular remodeling); reduces incidence of future CAD events, may reduce risk of diabetes
What are the important side effects for ACE inhibitors
Dry cough, angioedema, decreased renal function, hypotension
What are the miscellaneous for ACE inhibitors
Short-acting; contraindicated in pregnancy, renal artery stenosis, hyperkalemia, and prior angioedema (no ARB allowed, either); caution in renal failure
What is the class for Metoprolol, propranolol, bisoprolol
?-blocker
What is the mechanism for Metoprolol, propranolol, bisoprolol
Decrease contractility, HR (reduced myocardial O2 demand); class II antiarrhythmics (inhibit sympathetic influence on cardiac electrical activity, increase AP duration and effective refractory period in AV node)
What are the therapeutics for Metoprolol, propranolol, bisoprolol
Prevent MIs, prevent sudden cardiac death, increase survival post-MI (if patients suddenly stop, really bad!)
