Anti-angina drugs Flashcards
Drugs to treat angina:
beta blockers
nitrates
calcium channel blockers
K channel activators
short acting nitrate:
glyceryl trinitrate
long lasting nitrate:
isosorbide mononitrate
how do nitrates increase oxygen supply?
vasodilation of collaterals + reduce ventricular pressure
how do nitrates decrease oxygen demand?
reduce afterload and preload
nitrate drugs activate which protein by which second messenge
myosin light chain phosphoatease , cGMP
verapamil blocks which calcium current?
L-type calcium current
how does verapmil reduce oxygen demand
inhibits SA and AV node conductance
how does verapmil reduce conductance in the SA and AV node?
inhibits upstroke of pacemaker potential
how do cardiac channel blockers increase oxygen supply?
increased time spent in diastole
how does cardiac channel blockers reduce oxygen demand?
reduce force and rate of contraction
vasculare selective calcium channels cause which vessels to dilate:
venous and coronary
by dilating the coronary vessels, how do vasculare selective calcium channel blockers treat angina?
dilating coronary vessels increases oxygen supply
by dilating the venous vessels, how do vasculare selective calcium channel blockers treat angina?
increase oxygen perfusion and reduce demand (work)
by dilating the arterial vessels, how do vasculare selective calcium channel blockers treat angina?
reduce work and oxygen demand
