Angina Flashcards
Types of Angina (3)
1 atherosclerotic
2 vasospastic
3 unstable
Determinants of cardiac oxygen requirement (2)
1 Diastolic factors
2 Systolic factors
both lead to cardiac fiber tension
Inc myocardial O2 req
Diastolic factors (2)
Blood volume
Venous tone
Systolic factors (4)
Peripheral resistance
Heart rate
Heart force
Ejection time
Goals for angina management(4)
Inc O2 delivery
Reduce O2 req
Inc efficiency of O2 utilization
Myocardial revasc
Releases nitric oxide in smooth muscle cells through mitochondrial enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 ALDH2
Nitrates
Given SL, transdermal, IV, oral
High first pass effect
Nitroglycerin
Nitrate given orally
Isosorbide mononitrate
Nitrate given SL, orally
Isosorbide dinitrate
Nitrate inhaled
Amyl nitrite
Activates nitrite to nitric oxide by ALDH2/3
NO combines with guanylyl cyclase Inc CGMP PGE prostaglandin production PGI prostacyclin production Diminished vascular smooth muscle activation Vasodilation of arteries and veins
Nitrates
Nitrate tolerance attributed to (3)
Sulfhydryl group - cysteine
Inc O2 free radicals
Dec calcium generated polypeptide cgrp (vasodilator)
Nitrates relieve angina by
Inc venous compliance Dec ventricular preload Relaxation of veins Dec CO promote diastole inc CBF Relaxation of bronchi GI Inc CGMP Dec platelet aggregation
Nitrate SE
OH
syncope
headache
Temporal pulsation
Nitrates CI in
Inc ICP
IF TOLERATING GIVE CYSTEINE
Nitrates cause
compensatory tachycardia, contractility and salt and water retention
Nitrate uses
Angina
Cyanide poisoning
Nitrates can promote lethal hypotension if combined with
PDE5 inhibitors
Sildenafil
MI
Nitrates cause toxicity of
Methemoglobinemia
