Angina And MI Flashcards

1
Q

Rationale for treatment of angina

Q

MOA for organic nitrates

A

Release NO that diffuses into vascular smooth muscle and dilates veins to decrease preload and ventricular pressure to decrease myocardial O2 demand

Q

Role of nitrates in managing angina

A

SL to relieve acute symptoms of myocardial ischemia

19
Q

Adjunct therapy to prevent ACS in patients with unstable angina

A

Aspirin

20
Q

Other anti platelet treatments for angina

A

Clopidogrel
Prasugrel
Ticagrelor

21
Q

Used in patients with CAD to prevent dz progression but do not relieve angina directly

A

ACE inhibitors

22
Q

How to treat predictable episodes of angina caused by exertion

A

Nitroglycerin or isosorbide

23
Q

Frequent episodes of angina should be treated with

A

Nitroglycerin beta blocker CCB or nitrate

24
Q

How to treat angina in asthma patient

A

Non DHP CCB or cardioselective beta blocker

25
Q

How to treat angina in DM patient

A

Non DHP CCB most preferred also nitrates and cardioselective beta blockers

26
Q

How to treat angina in heart failure patients

A

beta blockers and nitrates most preferred

27
Q

How to treat angina in HTN patient

A

Beta blocker and non DHP CCB

28
Q

How to treat angina in patient with prior MI

A

Beta blockers

29
Q

How to treat angina in patient with bradycardia or heart block

A

DHP CCB preferred

30
Q

Drugs for acute STEMI

A

Aspirin- all patients, start asap and continue forever
IV nitroglycerin - for first day or two, not if hypotension or bradycardia
Analgesics- morphine decreases pain and increases reperfusion
Beta blockers- start asap and continue post MI to reduce magnitude of infarction and rate of reinfarction
ACE inhibitors- post MI if left ventricle dysfxn or CHF
CCBs- controversial, can be given if intolerant to beta blockers
Anticoagulants- heparin, bivalrudin, fondaparinux
P2Y inhibitors- clopidogrel, pasugrel or Ticagrelor
Fibrinolytics- dissolve clots ex streptokinase, alteplase, reteplase, anistreplase, tenecteplase
Statins

31
Q

If CABG indicated what do you do with anti platelet drugs

A

Hold for 5-7 days

32
Q

Are fibrinolytics used in Non-STEMI patients

A

No, only STEMI patients

33
Q

Variant angina is caused by

A

Acute coronary vasospasm
