Anti-anginal Drugs Flashcards
4 types of drugs used to treat angina
b blockers, ca ch blockers, others (2), and organic nitrates
organic nitrates used to treat angina
nitroglycerin
isosorbide dinitrate
isosorbide 5 mononitrate
b blockers used to treat angina
propanolol, sotalol, atenolol
ca ch blockers used to treat angina
verapimil
diltiazem
nifedipine
nimodipine
two other drugs for angina
trimetazidine
ranolazine
stable angina
deep, poorly localized chest arm discomfort associated with stress/exertion
no serum changes or necrosis
treat with rest and nitroglycerin
variant (prinzmetal) angina
at REST, due to transient increases in coronary tone/vasospasms at site of atherosclerotic change
*ST elevations
unstable angina
atleast one of the following
1) at rest, >20 min
2) severe and new onset (1 mo)
3) crescendo pattern (more frequent, severe, prolonged)
NSTEMI
form of unstable angina, without ST elevation
not fully occluded
AMI (acute Mi)
acute total thrombotic occlusion of coronary artery
angina
ischemic heart disease symptom, substernal discomfort (rarely pain) that can extend to left arm/shoulder/jaw
what is angina due to?
imbalances in oxygen demand-supply –> ischemia
what does unstable angina usually feature?
ruptured coronary atherosclerotic plaque with platelet aggregation –> less BF
BF in coronary circulation
only flows in LV coronaries during diastole
in systole, sub endocardium P>subepicardium P so endo need more time to fill
since RV has smaller forces, RV perfusion continues through diastole AND systole
Ca2+ induces….
NO induces…
vascular contraction
vasodilation
trimetazidine
FA oxidation inhibitor –> enhances glucose oxidation by preventing ATP decrease –> myocardium can function well despite O2 decline
what drug is a FA oxidation inhibitor? effects?
trimetazidine
increases coronary BF, delays ischemia, does not affect HR
better LV function
ranolazine
inhibits late inward Na current in heart –> reduces wall tension and less O2 demand
DONT use with liver disease or CYP3A inhibitors
