Q

Contraindications to nitroglycerin?

A

Do not take nitrates for 12 hours
Use sildenafil due to shorter half life

29
Q

SE of nitroglycerin ?

A

Tachyphylaxis , headache, syncope, increased HR

30
Q

When is the best time to take nitroglycerin?

A

When the most exertion is used

31
Q

What antiplatelets therapy should be given?

A

DAPT-clopidogrel plus aspirin

32
Q

Moa of clopidogrel?

A

Inhibits activation of platelet by blocking pgy12 receptor

33
Q

Aspirin moa?

A
  1. Decrease thromboxane=increased platelet aggregation and decreased vasoconstriction
  2. Increase prostacyclin=decreased platelet aggregation and vasodilation
34
Q

What is the loading dose for clopidogrel?

A

600 mg
But can use 300mg if person is over 75 years old, already on clopidogrel, history of at risk for bleeding
Then 75 mg qd

35
Q

How long should you take clopidogrel if: stent

A

1 month

36
Q

How long should you take clopidogrel if: drug eluding stent +ACS

A

12 month

37
Q

How long should you take clopidogrel if: CABG

A

Hold for 5-7 days

38
Q

Contraindications for prasugrel?

A

> =75 years old, intracranial hemorrhage, previous stroke, weight <60 kg

*increased risk of bleed

39
Q

Tricagrelor characteristics?

A

Reversible non competitive
No need for bio transformation
Good for surgery
Active metabolite
Downside- dyspnea and BiD dosing

40
Q

What anticoagulants should you use?

A

UFH, fondaparinux, enoxaparin

41
Q

Anticoagulants use how long?

45
Q

What bb to use?

A

Selective- metoprolol or carvedilol

46
Q

Contraindication for bb?

A

Cold( poor perfusion, decreased HR(<60) , increase risk of cardiogenic shock , asthma and severe allergies

47
Q

If tachyarrythmia or hypertensive give;

A

Bb

48
Q

Continue bb how long?

A

Indefinitely

49
Q

When to use Ace/ arb?

A

When Ef< 40%

50
Q

Antianginal therapy?

A

Nitrates plus bb
Enhanced activity
Reduces O2 consumption

51
Q

When not to use antianginal therapy?

A

When it is Cocaine induced chest pain

52
Q

What therapy improves mortality?

A

Bb and aspirin

53
Q

First line for all patients is ?

A

Antiplatelets

54
Q

Higher doses of antiplatelets?

A

Do not improve outcomes just increase bleeding

Based on TIMI score,
If low-OHBATMAN
if high- carb lab for revasculatization

56
