antiplatelet
aspirin
antiplatlet
heparin
anticoag
IIa IIIb inhibitors
abciximab
tirofiban
eptifibatide
angina pectoris
Sx of IHD
CAD usually the cause
heavy pressing substernal discomfort
-radiates to left shoulder, jaw
sensation of angina
typical angina
exertional
-induced by exercise and relieved by rest and/or nitroglycerin
ST segment depression
atypical angina
at rest
coronary vasospasm episodically reduced coronary flow
transient ST segment elevation
prinzmetal
vasospasm
unstable angina
rupture of plaque
abrupt decrease in flow
Sx not relieved by 3 nitro in 15 minutes - call 911
angina
loss of O2 supply and demand balance
agents that decrease O2 demand
beta blockers
CCBs
approach to typical angina
decrease O2 demand
- beta-blocker and aspirin
- or clopidogrel if ASA contraindicated
- beta-blocker and aspirin and long acting nitrate
- sub-lingual nitro - acute attacks
- ACE inhibitors - patients with DM or left vent dysfunction
- long acting CCB - DHPs - if beta blocker contraindicated
approach to unstable angina
MONA
-morphine, O2, nitro, ASA
and beta blocker or non-DHP CCB if beta blocker CI’d and no LV dysfunction
PCI
CBG
thrombolytics
avoid non-DHP CCB and beta blocker
can cause heart block
