Antianginals Flashcards
Nitrates– effects low vs high dose
Low dose: increase venous capacitance, reduce preload
High dose: Arterial dilation, decrease PVR and BP (afterload). Dilates epicardial coronary vessels
Nitrates indication
All Type of Angina
Acute Angina Attack & Prophylaxis
Nitrates MOA
Biotransformation NO
*in mitochondria
Activation of Guanylate Cyclase [cGMP] Activation of MLC Phosphatase Smooth Muscle Relaxation
Nitrates metabolism?
Isosorbide Mono/Dinitrate are prodrugs, activated by 1st pass
Avoid continuous exposure, must not use 10-14 hrs/day
Nitrates should be given as (A) due to extensive (B)
A- sublingual/spray
B- 1st pass metabolism
Nitrates are activated by (A) therefore they are less effective in which population (B)?
A- ALDH2 and P450 dehydrogenase
B- Asians with SNP in ALDH2– those who get asian flush
Nitrates should not be taken with (A) due to (B)
A- Sildenafil (viagra)
B- risk for critical hypotension
BBlockers are indicated for…
Stable or Unstable Angina
NOT variant Angina
Selective BB? Non selective BB?
Nonselective:
Propranolol
Nadolol
Timolol
Selective: Acebutolol Atenolol Metoprolol Labetalol Pindolol Carvedilol Nebivolol
Effects of BBlockers
decrease HR /BP
decrease Exercise-induced increase in HR & Contractility
Block Sympathetics
Prevent Reflex Tachycardia from Nitrates
Nitrates can cause reflex (A), which can be prevented with (B)
A- tachycardia
B- BBlockers
Lipid soluble BBlockers are eliminated by…
liver
propanolol
metoprolol
Hydrophilic BBlockers are eliminated by …
kidneys
nadolol
atenolol
Beta 3 agonist and Beta 1 antagonist?
Nebevolol
renal elimination
Beta 3 agonist and Beta 1 antagonist?
Nebevolol
renal elimination
