atherosclerosis And ACS Treatment Flashcards
How to prevent?
Healthy eating, no smoking , manage stress, know LDL and total cholesterol, BP, and exercise
What is primary prevention?
Lipid lowering meds, BP control, smoking cessation, diabetes, physical activity, Mediterranean diet
What is secondary prevention?
More aggressive dosing of 1’ and +- Aspirin, P2Y12 I., cardiac rehab
2’ prevention: lipid lowering meds?
Ezetimibe, evolocumab, alirocumab, anacetrapib
2’ prevention: anti-thrombotic?
Rivaroxaban, prasugrel
2’ prevention: anti-inflamm
Colchicine and canakinumab
OHBATMANS- meaning?
O- oxygen
H-heparin
B- beta blocker
A- antiplatelets
T-thrombolytic
M-morphine
A-angiotensin converting enzyme I. Or aldosterone Antag.
N-nitroglycerin
S-statin
Which drugs from OHBATMAN Is mainly for discharge use?
A-angiotensin converting enzyme I. Or aldosterone Antag.
S-statin
*the rest are given based on presentation
What do tPa do?
Activates plasminogen to plasmid and binds to fibrin to break it down (degradation)
What is known as natural fibronolytic?
Plasmin
Can you benefit if fibrin is hard and give a tpa?
No , no benefit-needs to be loose
What is the patho of a clot?
Increased clot formations-activates thrombin, leads to fibrin and a clot
What are the two fibrinolytics? (Tissue plasminogen activators)
tpa-alteplase
Tnk- tenecteplase
What do thrombolytics do?
Reestablish circulation and blood flow
Nitroglycerin is?
A strong venal dilator
Decreased preload, ventricular size, and end diastolic pressure
Overall decrease O2 demand
Nitroglycerin at higher doses is?
Both arterial and venal dilation
Can you use thrombolytics for stable or unstable angina ?
No can cause major bleed
When can you use thrombolytics?
For STEMI(full thickness)
Thrombolytics guideline:
Use for acute MI in 1st 12 hours
Acute ischemic stroke
Peripheral artery occlusion
Pulmonary embolism
DVT
If no cath lab…?
Give thrombolytics
If no PCI (cath lab?
Administer fibrinolytic<30 min
If PCI?
Fix can do angiogram, or fibrinolytic
Alteplase vs tenecteplase
Alteplase has a short half life
Tenecteplase is more fibrin specific and longer duration -less chance of bleeding
Contraindications to thrombolytics?
Active bleed, stroke in last 3 months, cerebral hemorrhage
Major surgery within 2 weeks
Peptic ulcer
Head injuries or neoplasm
Uncontrolled HTN >180
Already on anticoagulant
What are the fibrinolytic inhibitors ? Use if patient starts bleeding
Amino sprout acid
Tranexamic acid
Inhibits formation of plasmin/ plasminogen
Do not give fibrinolytic if patient is:
On aspirin/ nsaids
Renal failure
Thrombocytopenia
VWD
Hemophilia
Platelet >50,000
Nitroglycerin patho?
Enhances NO-GTp-cGMP—-dephosphorylates to myosin LC=relaxation
