17
Q

Which anti-angina drug class is commonly used for variant (Prinzmetal) angina?

A

Calcium channel blockers

18
Q

What is the main side effect of ACE inhibitors?

A

Dry cough

19
Q

True or False: Anti-angina drugs are used to treat heart failure.

A

False

20
Q

Which anti-angina drug class should be avoided in patients with peripheral artery disease?

A

Beta blockers

21
Q

What is the primary mechanism of action for calcium channel blockers in treating angina?

A

They relax and widen blood vessels to improve blood flow.

22
Q

Which anti-angina drug class can cause reflex tachycardia as a side effect?

A

Nitrates

23
Q

What is the main side effect of beta blockers in treating angina?

A

Bradycardia

24
Q

True or False: Anti-angina drugs are used to treat arrhythmias.

A

False

25
Q

Factors that can lead to increased oxygen consumption in the heart include

A

Increased; heart rate
Contractility
Preload
Afterload

26
Q

Factors that can lead to decreased blood flow to the heart include

A

Vasospasm
Fixed stenosis
Thrombosis

27
Q

Classify angina based on reduced coronary blood flow

A

Printzmetal’s variant angina
Vasospasm
Supply ischemia

Chronic stable
Fixed stenosis
Demand ischemia

Unstable
Thrombosis
Supply ischemia

28
Q

Describe the MOA OF nitrates

A

Nitrate to NO

NO activates guanylyl cyclase
GC converts GTP to cGMP
cGMP activates cGMP-dependent protein kinase
CGMP-dependent protein kinase activates MLC Phosphates.

This then cleaves Phosphate from MLC

This results in relaxation and Decreased venous return to the heart
