Anticoagulants, antiplatelets, and fibrinolytics Flashcards
ADP and P2Y12 inhibitors
Clopidogrel
Prasugrel
Ticagrelor
Ticlopidine - not in US (aplastic anemia)
Mechanism of ADP and P2Y12 inhibitors
Block ADP receptors which lead to inactivation of P2Y12 receptors, leading to an increase in cAMP to inhibit platelet aggregation
Clinical uses of ADP and P2Y12 inhibitors
Treatment of ACS
Stroke prevention
Dual antiplatelet therapy
Adverse effect of ADP and P2Y12 inhibitors
Bleeding
GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors
Abciximab
Tirofiban
Eptifibatide
Mechanism of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors
Inhibit binding of fibrinogen to IIb/IIIa receptors to prevent platelet aggregation
Clinical uses of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors
ACS
PCI
Adverse effect of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors
Bleeding
Platelet adenosine uptake inhibitor that works by inhibiting phosphodiesterase
Dipyridamole
Clinical uses of dipyridamole
Thromboembolism prophylaxis
Pharmacologic cardiac stress test
PDE3 inhibitor that inhibits phosphodiesterase for an antiplatelet action
Cliostazol
Use of cliostazol
Intermittent claudication (PVD)
Protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR-1) inhibitor that inhibits platelet aggregation induced by thrombin and thrombin receptor agonist peptide (TRAP)
Vorapaxar
Clinical use of vorapaxar
Thrombotic event prevention
Adverse effects of vorapaxar
Bleeding
Depression
Rash
Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) inhibitor that irreversible acetylates COX1 receptors in platelets
Aspirin
Prophylactic use of aspirin
MI and CVA
Adverse effects of aspirin
GI upset
Bleeding
Vit K antagonist that inhibits the hepatic synthesis of vit K clotting factors (II, VII, IX, and X) by blocking the gamma-carboxylation of clotting factors
Warfarin
Bleeding values affected by warfarin use
INR and PT –> extrinsic pathway
Indication for warfarin use
Ambulatory anticoagulation
Contraindication of warfarin
Pregnancy –> crosses placenta –> teratogenic –> bone defects
Adverse effects of warfarin
Bleeding
Skin necrosis
Purple toe syndrome (3-8 wks)
Increased risk for developing skin necrosis with warfarin use
Pts with decreased protein C
Antidote to warfarin
Vit K1 (phytonadione)
