Antianginals Flashcards

1
Q

Nitrates– effects low vs high dose

A

Low dose: increase venous capacitance, reduce preload

High dose: Arterial dilation, decrease PVR and BP (afterload). Dilates epicardial coronary vessels

16
Q

nonselective BBlocker/a Blocker

A

Labetolol/carvedilol

decrease IP3, decrease Ca release to cause vasodilation

17
Q

Indications for Ca Channel blockers

A

Stable or Variant Angina

“-pine” = dyhydropyridine

Ca channels are different splice variants b/w vascular smooth muscle and heart

18
Q

Examples of Ca channel blockers

A

Dilitazem
Verapamil

-PINE = dihydropyridines
amiodipine
nicardipine
nifedipine
nimodipine
19
Q

MOA of Diltiazam and Verampamil?

A

Selective Antagonist for Heart:
Activity of Voltage Dependent Ca++ Channel Activity
(L-type channels)

Decrease HR

20
Q

Ca Channel blockers are metabolized by …

A

CYP3A4- many interactions!

21
Q

Ca channel blockers AE

A

Diltiazem
Verampamil

Bradycardia, AV Node conduction, - inotropy, Edema/Headache, Constipation

22
Q

Nicardipine is an example of a (A) which is a (B) antagonist for (C) and acts on (D) to cause (E)

A

A- Ca Channel blocker/ dihydropyridine

B- selective

C- arterioles

D- Ca Ltype channels

E- vasodilation

23
Q

Dihydropyridines systemic effects

A

decrease PVR and BP, Decrease afterload

24
Q

Dihydropyridines AE

A

Could Cause Reflexive Tachycardia, in reponse to BP
Fewer adverse effects with Long Acting (Amlodipine) or Sustained Release (Nifedipine)
*Long-acting: Peripheral Edema, Headache
*Short-acting: Hypotension, Reflex tachycardia, MI risk, & peripheral edema, headache

25
Q

Who’s the oddball? When is it used?

A

Ranolazine!

for stable angina only, but not as first line

26
Q

Ranolazine acts on which ions?

A

Cardiac: Late Na+ Current Blocker

Prevents accumulation of Na and Ca during ischemia, which would activate myo-filaments

27
Q

Don’t mix ranolazine with (A) because (B).

A

Do not mix with Verapamil or Diltiazem

*Goes through 1st Pass Metabolism by CYP3A4

28
Q

Ranolzine AE

A

Long QT- TdP

29
Q

DHP are contraindicated with..

A

hypotension

30
Q

Verampamil and diltiazem are contraindicated with …

A

HF
AV conduction defects
B Blockers

31
Q

CCB should not be used with …. stenosis

A

Aortic

32
Q

Summary

A

nitrates: relieve/prevent all angina

BBlockers: prevent un/stable angina, reduce mortality s/p AMI

CCB: prevent stable or variant angina

Ranolazine: treats stable angina if standard tx is inadequate

Antiplatelet agents: decrease rick of CV AE

antihyperlipidemic agents: decrease incidence of ischemia/ CV AE
