(HIT or HITT can occur several weeks after medication discontinuation)

28
Q

HIT is treated with ______ (2).

A
  1. Argatroban
  2. Bivalirudin
29
Q

List 2 LMW Heparins

A
  1. Enoxaparin (Lovenox ®)
  2. Fondaparinux (Arixtra ®)
30
Q

What is the difference in the MOA of LWM Heparin or unfractionated (full sized Heparin)?

A

UFH: binds to antithrombins at a 1:1 complex to enhances the activity of antithrombin (1000x).

Inactivates complexes of factor IIa (thrombin), IX, and X.

LMWH: Shorter motif that reduces thrombin inhibition but rapidly inactivates factor X

31
Q

Which has a longer half life: Enoxaparin (Lovenox ®) or Fondaparinux (Arixtra ®) ?

A
  • Fondaparinux ~ 20 hrs
  • Enoxaparin ~ 5 hrs

(both are LMWH)

32
Q

LMWH Enoxaparin (Lovenox ®) & Fondaparinux (Arixtra ®) both treat DVT (prophylaxis & acute). Which treats MI and which treats PE?

A
  • Enoxaparin (Lovenox ®) : MI
  • Fondaparinux (Arixtra ®): PE
33
Q

Adverse effect of LMWH

A

thrombocytopenia

34
Q

List 2 direct thrombin inhibitors

A
  1. Argatroban
  2. Bivalirudin

(used to tx HIT)

Q

Bivalirudin (Angiomax ®) MOA

A

HIT & HITT

(HITT = heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis)

36
Q
