18
Q

Nitrate contraindication

A

Pt on Sidenafil

Sidenafil inhibits PDE5 = too much cGMP

19
Q

Which nitrate can cause CN poisoning

A

Sodium nitroprusside

20
Q

Which beta blocker is not cardioselective

A

Propranolol

21
Q

Which beta blockers are beta 1 cardioselective

A

Metoprolol

Atenolol

22
Q

Main mechanism of beta blockers in angina

A

Decrease O2 load
Decrease freq/severity of attacks
Decrease HR, contractility

23
Q

Who do you give beta blockers for angina

A

Stable angina with LV dysfunction

24
Q

What happens if you rapidly remove beta blocker

A

Rebound HTN

25
Q

Contraindications for beta blockers in angina

A

Prinzmetal
Asthma/COPD
Diabetes, PVD
Severe bradycardia

26
Q

DOC for variant angina

A

Ca channel blockers

27
Q

When do you use ca channel blockers

A

Beta blockers don’t work, or contraindicated

28
Q

How do Ca channel blockers work

A

Coronary, peripheral vasodilation

Reduce contractility

29
Q

Which Ca channel blockers have minimal effect on conduction or HR

A

Amlodipine
Felodipine
Block Ca entry, decrease BP

30
Q

Which Ca channel blockers slow AV conduction directly

A

Verapamil

Diltiazem (less HR decrease)

31
Q

Main AE of Ca channel blockers

A

Constipation

32
Q

Contraindication for Diltiazem/Verapamil

A

Pre-existing depressed cardiac function

AV conduction abnormality

33
Q

Caution for Verapamil in patients on what

A

Digoxin

34
Q

What does the Na/Ca exchanger do in ischemia

A

Reverses direction

35
Q

What does Ranolazine do

A

Block the Na/Ca exchanger, indirectly lowering Ca levels

36
Q

How does Ranolazine treat angina

A

Decrease contractility
Decrease O2 demand
Modify FA oxidation

37
Q

What is Ranolazine prophylactic for

A

Angina when all other failed

38
Q

What metabolizes Ranolazine

A

3A4

39
Q

AE for Ranolazine

A

QT prolongation
Nausea, constipation
Dizziness

40
Q

Acute attack Tx for Stable/Unstable

A

Nitroglycerin

41
Q

Maintenance therapy for Stable/Unstable

A
Long acting nitrates
Beta Blockers (Ca channel blockers if ineffective)
42
Q

Last ditch therapy for Stable/Unstable

A

Ranolazine

43
Q

Nitrate half lives shortest to longest

A

Sodium Nitroprusside
Nitroglycerine
Isosorbide dinitrate
Isosorbide mononitrate

44
Q

Tx for Prinzmetal Sx only

A

Nitroglycerin

Ca channel blockers (any)
