Anticoagulants Flashcards

1
Q

HEPARIN

A

Idirectly Inibits: Factor IX, X, XI, and XII, and thrombin (II) via Antithrombin III
Only dad can trap the Thrombeaver

Monitor PTT

Toxicity:
Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) — antibodies directed against Platelet Factor 4 (PF4)
Hypoaldosteronism - Potassium retention (Think same as spironolactone)

Q

LMWH

A

Inhibitor of Factor IX & X only
End with -parin
Longer half life

Can still cause HIT, but less likely

Q

STREPTOKINASE

A

Nonenzymatic protein derived from Streptococci, binds to plasminogen and induces conformation changes that expose the active site.

Promote clot lysis
Can cause allergic reaction

Q

ALTAPLASE
RETEPLASE
TENECTEPLASE

A

Tissue-type Plasminogen Activator (t-PA) - endogenous, with a high binding affinity for fibrin; can produce clot-selective plasminogen activation.

Reteplase and Tenectplase have longer half-lives

Alteplase - catheter coagulation

Q

WARFARIN

A

Blocks action of EPOXIDE REDUCTASE (VKOR) trapping Vitamin K in its inactive form

No gamma carboxylation
Affects 2, 9, 7, 10, C/S

Monitor PT
LONG Half Life
8-12 hour delay - must start with a more acute anticoagulant then switch to Warfarin

Metabolized by CYP450
Teratogenic - use heparin instead

Q

High Dose Vitamin K

A

Reverse Warfarin therapy

17
Q

Protein C Deficiency

A

Warfarin Skin Induced Necrosis — from early hypercoagulable state

Heparin must be used in addition to prevent this

18
Q

DIPYRAMIDOL, CILOSTAZOL

A

PDE Inhibitors

Increase cAMP

19
Q

Dipyridamole + Warfarin

A

Prosthetic Heart Valves

20
Q

A

Prior Stroke

21
Q

ABCIXIMAB

A

GpIIb-IIIa Inhibitor

Monoclonal antibody used in angioplasty, often with aspirin and heparin

22
Q

EPTIFIBATIDE

A

GpIIb-IIIa Inhibitor

Also used for angioplasty

23
Q

TIROFIBAN

25
Q

CLOPIDOGREL (Plavix)

A
