Used in combination with an ARB (valsartan) for treatment of HFrEF.

31
Q

SE of Sacubitril?

A

Hypotension, hyperkalemia, cough, dizziness

32
Q

Why is sacubitril CI with ACEIs?

A

can also cause angioedema

33
Q

Why are nitrates CI with sildenafil? - bonus Q

A

Both inc cGMP –> orthostatic hypotension

34
Q

Which lipid lowering agent upregulates LPL?

A

Fibrates - gemfibrozil, clofibrate, bezafibrate

35
Q

Which lipid lowering agent exacerabates gout?

Niacin - causes hyperuricemia

36
Q

Which lipid lowering agent inhibits hormone sensitive lipase?

A

Niacin

37
Q

Bleeding is potential side effect of which lipid lowering agent?

A

Bile acid resins - due to dec absorption of other drugs, like warfarin, and fat sol vitamins (uworld Q)

38
Q

Bonus Q - what Tx for Statin induced rhabdomyolysis?

A

mannitol

39
Q

What kidney pathology is associated with statins?

A

Acute tubular necrosis ( break down of musc –> Mgb can plug up kidney –> oxidative damage)

40
Q

A

ezetimibe

42
Q

Which Drug is an antisense oligonucleotide vs apoB100 mRNA?

43
Q

Digoxin has a secondary effect on heart rate, separate from contractility - what is it? Mech?

A

Dec HR by stimulating CN X

Q

Why does digoxin require a loading dose?

A

Bc has a long half life will take a long time to get to steady state.
