cardio big picture and DOC Flashcards
What drugs do you use for Cardiac Arrhythmias
Class I: sodium channel blockers
- IA: quinidine, procainamide (bind activated)
- IB: lidocaine (bind inactivated)
- IC:flecainide (bind all)
Class II: BB
*olol
Class III: K channel blocker (prolong repol)
*Amiodarone, Sotalol
Class IV: CCB
*verapamil, diltiazem
Misc: adenosine, Mg, digoxin, K
Diuretics
CA inhibitors LOOPS thiazide and thiazide like K sparing (aldosterone antagonist and K channel blocker) Osmotic Diuretics ADH agonists and antagonists
Drugs used in CHF
Inotropic agents
- Digitalis: digoxin
- PDE inhibitors (bipiridines): imamrinone, milrinone
- sympathomimetics: Dobutamine, Dopamine
Drugs w/o inotropic effect
- Diuretics: loopd, aldo antag, K sparing, thiazide
- ACEI: pril
- BB: carvedilol, metropolol
- ARB: artan
- vasodilators: sodium nitroprusside, hydralazine, isosorbide dinitrate
- digitalis antibody: fab (digibind)
anti HTN drugs
- Diuretics
- SNS altering: central a2 agonist, a1 blocker (zosin), BB
- Vasodilators: NO, minoxidil, CCB, D1 agonist
- RAS inhibitors: ACEI, RB
vasodilators/ tx angina
nitrates/nitrites CCB BB PDE5 others: ranolazine
Heparin use
IV anticoag,
post op DVT, PE prophylaxis
Enoxaprin/Fondaparinux use
DVT/PE prophylax
- replace warfarin in preg
- less incidence HIT
Warfarin use
prevent embolism (not effective on already formed thrombi) chronic DVT/PE prophylaxis
Clopidogrel use
DOX platelet inhibition/prevent thrombosis in stent replacement
*used if ASA allergy to decrease risk thrombosis post MI/stroke
ASA use
primary prevention MI
prophylaxis for pt at risk for embolism
Abciximab/eptifibatide/tirofiban use
combine with heparin for PCI
used in pt undergoing angioplasty, atherectomy, stent
aminocaproic acid use
reverse tPA aka alteplase (anti fibrinolytic)
Alteplase/ tenectaplase/ use
activates plasminogen to lyse clots and re establish tissue perfusion post MI
Bile acid binding resins
high LDL/chol
Niacin
decrease VLDL and LDL
**increase HDL
effective in heterozygous familial hyperchol
statin
decrease LDL, TAG and increase HDL
decrease CRP, lipoprotein ox, platelet aggregation
increase NO production and plaque stability
fibrates
decrease TAG
*inhibit statin metab
Zetia
dec LDL (blocks intestinal abs)
Quinidine use
acute and chronic SV and V arrhythmia
*procainamide is same by increased SLE risk
Lidocaine use
Ventricular arrhythmia DOC (IV) - acute?
Flecainide use
SV and lifethreatening V arrhthmia *LAST RESORT
BB use
early stage CHF: dec HR, contractility, renin, BP, post MI mortality, classic angina
amiodarone use
SV and V arrhythmia (w/o torsade)
DOC for chronic V arrhythmia (ACLS) instead of lidocaine
