Anti-Coagulants I Flashcards
warfarin
given oral only
-inhibit K dependent factors
II, VII, IX, X, protein C and S
without the two carboxy residues - cannot bind calcium or phospholipid
inhibits vitamin K epoxide reductase
heparin
only IV or subQ
-aka unfractionated
activates antithrombin III
-inactivates IIa, IXa, Xa, XIa, XIIa
prolongs aPTT and thrombin time
low MW heparin
give subQ
-prophylaxis/treatment of MI, DVT, PE
acts only on Xa
-no binding site for IIa
longer half life than heparin no monitoring required less protein binding than heparin no endo cell binding no dose-dependent clearance
fondaparinux
factor Xa inhibitor
- subQ injection
- analog of heparin
dabigatran
oral anticoag
- binds to thrombin
- inhibits clot-bound and circulating thrombin
- rapid onset
Re-ly and Re-cover trials - non-inferior and similar safety to warfarin**
no monitoring required
no antidote
expensive
aspirin
inhibits TXA2 formation (blocks COX-1)
-inhibits platelet aggregation
for prophylaxis tx of MI, stroke, and PAD
clopidogrel
blocks P2Y12 - ADP receptor on platelets - IRREVERSIBLE
-no aggregation
inactive prodrug
prophylaxis of stroke, MI, PAD, acute coronary syndrome
dipyridamole
blocks platelet aggreagation
-inhibits adenosine uptake and is cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor
prophylaxis of arterial thromboembolism
prosthetics and bypass grafts
angioplasty phophylaxis
abciximab
monoclonal antibody for GpIIbIIIa complex
-no platelet aggregation
aletplase
plasminogen activator
acute MI
reteplase
plasminogen activator
acute MI
diffuses through clot more freely
tenecteplase
plasminogen activator
single bolus given over 5-10sec
acute MI
streptokinase
non-enzyme plasminogen activator
acute MI
from beta hemolytic strep
- many have antibodies
- must saturate with loading dose
5HT
serotonin
-activator of platelet aggregation
PGI2
prostacyclin
-inhibitor of platelet aggregation
arterial thrombus
white clot
- not many RBCs - sheared off
- high blood flow
venous thrombus
red clot
- lots of RBCs - stasis
- can be very long tali
enoxaparin
low MW heparin
heparin monitoring
aPTT 1.5 - 2.5x control
warfarin monitoring
PT - normalized with INR
2-3
subQ minidose of heparin
post-surgery prophylaxis
low MW heparin monitoring
not necessary
