What is ischemic heart disease
Partial occlusion of coronary artery
Classic angina (angina of effort, stable angina)
Occlusion of coronary arteries resulting from the formation of atherosclerotic plaque
- most common
- symptoms occur during exertion or stress
Variant angina
Episodes of vasoconstriction of coronary arteries
Likely genetic
Symptoms at rest
Much less common than classics angina
Angina
Imbalance between oxygen demand of the heart and oxygen supply via the coronary arteries
At rest oxygen demand=supply of oxygen through partially blocked artery
No symptoms
During exercise/stress
Oxygen demand> supply through partially blocked coronary artery
CHEST PAIN
How reduce oxygen demand
Decrease cardiac work load
How increase oxygen suppl
Increase blood flow through coronary arteries
What are approaches to increase coronary blood flow
Coronary artery bypass grafting
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)
Atherectomy-tip of catheter shears off the plaque
-reoclusion
Stent-expandable tube used as scaffolding to keep vessel open
-drug elating stents (antiproliferative drugs)
Vasodilator
Vasodilator to increase coronary blood flow
Useful in vasospastic (prinzmetal) angina
Relieves coronary spasm, restores blood flow to ischemic area, vasodilator
*spasm of proximal right coronary artery and its treatment with a vasodilator
When are vasodilator not useful in treating angina
Atherosclerotic (classic ) angina
-coronary steal phenomenon-redistribution of blood to non ischemic areas-associated with the dilation of small arterioles (example-potent arteriolar vasodilator, such as DIPYRIDAMOLE)
How reduce myocardial oxygen demand
HR, contractility, preload, afterload
Physic coronary flow
- isovolumetric contraction
- ejection
- diastole
What drugs are used in chronic ischemic heart disease
Nitrates
Calcium channel blockers
Beta blockers
Ranolazine
How is vasculature relaxed
Release of ENDOTHELIUM derived relaxing factor (EDRF) by Ach
Endothelium is necessary
Endogenous NOS makes NO, a vasorelaxing agent …NO and citrulline activate GC to make cGMP
How are nitrates, NO donors
Organiz nitrates cause metabolic activation of NO (do do endothelial cells)
Outside cell then NO into cell
NO activates GC to turn GTP to cGMP In cell
GTP activates protein kinase G->myosin LC dephosphorylation->smooth muscle renalxation
PKG also opens K channels to allow K out and get hyperpolarization and reduced calcium entry
What are the nitrovasodilators
Nitroglycerin
Isosorbide
Isosorbide mononitrate
Pharmacokinetics of nitrovasodilators
Significant first pass metabolism-high nitrate reductase activity in the liver
-nitrate reductase activity in saturable
Bioavailability with oral route is low
Other routes that avoid first pass metabolism are used
Partially denigrated metabolites may still have activity and longer half lives
Isosorbide mononitrate is a poor substrate of nitrate reductase
-characterized by higher bioavailability
MOA nitrates
Unknown enzymatic reaction releases NO (or other active metabolite)
-the role of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ADH2)
Thiopental compounds are needed to release NO from nitrates
Vascular smooth muscle-NO dilate veins and (at much higher concentrations) large arteries
Sensitivity of vasculature to nitrate-induced vasodilationL
Veins>large arteries>small arteries and arterioles
-no “coronary steal” phenomenon
-inhibit platelet aggregation
How do nitrates decrease myocardial oxygen demand
Relaxation of smooth msucle
- dilation of veins major effect)
- increased venous capacitance
- reduced ventricular preload
Dilation of arteries-higher concentrations off nitrates are needed, as compared to venous dilation
- may reduce afterload
- may dilate large pericardial coronary arteries
- there is no substantial increase inc ordinary blood flow into ischemic area in atherosclerotic angina
What turns nitrate into NO
ADH2 thinks
What does NO do
Vascular smooth muscle relaxation
How does NO help variant angina
Vascular smooth muscle relaxation->coronary artery dilation->coronary spasm relief
How do nitrates helps angina of effort
Vascular smooth muscle relaxation->venous dilation->reduced preload-> decreased O2 demand
Effects of NO beyond vasodilation
LDL oxidation
Superoxide radical
Smooth muscle cell proliferation
Platelet aggregation
Monocyte adhesion
Development of tolerance to nitrates
Depletion of thiol compounds
Increased generation of superoxide radicals
Reflex activation of sympathetic nervous system (tachycardia, decreased coronary blood supply)
Retention fo salt and water
-increased generation of superoxide radical depletes tissues of NO
What happens when NO joins superoxide
Becomes peroxynitrits or H2O2 and O2
Clinical use of nitrates

Adverse effects of nitrates
HA (due to meningeal vasodilation; nitrates are contraindicated in intracranial pressure is elevated)
Orthostatic hypotension
Increased sympathetic discharge
- tachycardia
- increased cardiac contractility
Increased renal Na and H2O reabsorption
Drug interactions nitrate
ED meds (sildenafil, vardenadil, tadafil)
- inhibit cGMP PDE-5, increase cGMP
- minimal effects on hemodynamics when administered alone in men with coronary artery disease
- combination with nitrates causes severe increase in cGMP and a dramatic drop in BP
- acute MI have been reported
CGMP effect
Smooth muscle relaxation—-elective tissue and blood vessels
What calcium channel blockers are used in angina
Non cardioactive
- amlodipine (long t1/2=30-50 hr)
- nifedipine (short acting (t1/2=4 h)
- nicardipine (short acting t1/2 2-4 hours)
Cardioactive
- diltiazem
- verapamil
How do ca channel blockers work
Ca enters cells via voltage dependent ca channels to mediate smooth msucle contraction
Ca binds calmodulin which activates MLCK to cause MLC contraction with actin
What drug class causes most vasodilation
Amlodipine -dihydropyridine
What drug causes most decrease inc Adrian contractility
Verapamil-phenylalkylamina
Least is amlodipine
What drug causes most decrease in SA node
Verapamil and dilitiazem
What drug causes most decrease in conduction of AV node
Verapamil and diltiazen
Non amlodipine
How do calcium channel blockers decrease myocardial O2 demand (atherosclerotic angina)
Dilation of peripheral arterioles
- decrease PVR and afterload, decreased bp
- arterioles affected more than veins (less orthostatic hypotension)
- dihydropyridines are more potent vasodilator
Decreased cardiac contractility and HR (observed with cardioactive CCB)
How do calcium channel blockers increase blood supply (operates in variant angina)
Dilation of coronary arteries relieves local spasm
Major adverse effects of calcium channel blockers
Cardiac depression, cardiac arrest and acute heart failure (cardioactive)
Brady arrhythmias, atrioventricular block (cardioactive)
Short acting dihydropyridine CCB-vasodilation triggers reflec sympathetic activation
Nifedipine (immediate release) increases the risk of MI in patients with HTN-slow release and long acting dihydropyridines are better tolerated
Minor AE CCB
Flushing, headache, anorexia, dizzy
Peripheral edema
Constipation
Name beta blockers

Ranolazine (new) 2006
Inhibits late Na current in cardiomyocytes
MOA ranolazine
Ischemic myocardium is often partially depolarized
Na channel inc ardiomyocytes is voltage gated
Late Na current is enhanced in ischemic myocardium and brings about Ca overload and depolarizer abnormalities
RANOLAXINE normalizes depolarization of cardiac myocytes and reduces mechanical dysfunction
- may reduce diastolic tension and compression of coronary vessel in diastole
- may reduce cardiac contractility and oxygen demand
Does ranolazine affect hr, coronary blood flow and peripheral hemodynamics
No
Clinical use of ranolazine
Stable angina which is refractory to standard medications
Decreases angina episodes and improves exercise tolerance in patients taking nitrates, or amlodipine, or atenolol
Approaches to treatment of variant angina

Dietary management of hyperlipidemia: when do
1at! Unless patient has evident coronary or peripheral vascular disease; patients with familial hypercholesterolemias always require drug therapy in addition to diet
How do dietary management
Total fat, cruise, and fructose increase vldl; alcohol can cause significant hypertriglyceridemia by increasing hepatic secretion of vldl; synthesis and secretion of vldl are increased by excess calories; during weight loss, LDL and VLDL levels may be much lower than can be maintained during neutral caloric balance (concluding that dietary changes suffice for lipid management can only be made after weight has stabilized for 1 month)
Generally dietary recommendations : limit total calories from fat 20-25% of daily intake, saturated fats to less than 8% of daily intake, cholesterol to less than 200 mg.day; reductions in serum cholesterol range from 10-20% adhering to these recommendations
Name HMG Coa reductase inhibitors
Statins
What are statins
Most effective agents in reducing LDL levels and best tolerated class of lipid lowering agents
Pharmacokinetics
Oral absorption varies from 40-75% with the exception of fluvastatin (almost completely absorbed; statin absorption enhanced bt food)
Big first pass metabolism
Plasma half lives range
Most excreted in bile
Metabolized by CYP3A4(lovastatin, simvastatin, atorvastatin)
Metabolized by CYP2C9 (fluvastatin and rosuvastatin )
Metabolized by 450 (pitavastastin ) limited
Pravastatin not CYP450@ metabolized
Pravastatin
MOA statins
Structural analogs of HMG-CoA (initial precursor of cholesterol) and inhibit MHG-CoA reductase, the rate limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis; inhibiting de node cholesterol synthesis depletes the intracellular supply of cholesterol, which causes the cell to increase the number of specific cell surface LDL receptors that can bind and internalize circulating LDLs; increased expression of surface LDL receptors reduced circulating LDL levels; can reduce LDL levels 20-55%
Potency statin
Atorvastatin=rosuvastatin>simvastatin>pitavastatin=lovastatin=pravastatin?fluvastatin
Therapeutic benefits statins
Plaque stabilization, improvement of coronary endothelial function, inhibitoin of platelet thrombus formation, and anti-inflammatory effects
Statins are effective in lowering plasma cholesterol levels in all types of hyperlipidemia; used alone or with resins, niacin or ezetimibe; and are primarily taken night (cholesterol synthesis occurs at night) except the longer acting atorvastatin, pitavastatin, rosuvastatin
Why statin taken at night
Cholesterol synthesis occurs at night
Except longer acting atorvastatin , pitavastatin, rosuvastatin
Liver AE statin
Elevations of serum aminotransferase activity (up to 3x normal in patients with liver disease or a history of alcohol abuse); levels decrease upon suspension of drug therapy
Muscle AE statin
Creatinine kinase activity levels may increase, particularly in patients who have a high level of physical activity; rhabdomyolysis (leading to myoglobinuria) can occur rarely and lead to renal injury; myopathy can occur with monotherapy; increased incidence of myopathy in Athens concomitantly taking statins and fibrates
Statins and war fin
Increase warfarin levels
Contraindications statins
Pregnant, Lactation or likely to become pregnant,
Liver disease or skeletal muscle myopathy
Kids restricted to those with homozygous familial hypercholestermia and some patients with heterozygous

What does niacin do
Decrease TG, LDL, LP; increase HDL
Pharmacokinetics niacin
Converted to nicotinamide and is incorporated into NAD; well absorbed; distributed to mainly hepatic, renal, and adipose tissues extensive first pass metabolism; half life approximately 60 minutes (2x or 3x daily dosing)
MOA niacin
Inhibits the lipolysis of TG in adipose tissue (the primary producer of circulating FFA)
By reducing circulating FFA, the liver produces less VLDL and LDL levels decreased
Catabolic rate for HDL is decreased
Fibrinogen levels are reduced ant tissue plasminogen activator levels are increased
AE niacin
Intense cutaneous flush accompanied by an uncomfortable feeling of warmth that occurs after each dose when drug is started or when the dose is increased (asprin taken before niacin or once daily ibuprofen can mitigate the flushing, which is prostagladin mediated)
Pruritis, rash, dry skin or mucous membranes, acanthosis nigricans
Hepatotoxicity (monied liver enzymes0
Contraindications niacin
Hepatic disease or active peptic ulcer
Causation with DM-niacin induced insulin resistance, which can cause hyperglycemia —see acanthosis nigricans due to elevated insulin)
Niacin adipose tissue effect
Decrease hormone sensitive lipase->decreases plasma FFA
Liver niacin
Decreases apoA-i clearance which increases plasma HDL which increases cholesterol delivery-> increased excretion of cholesterol in bile
The decrease in FFA from adipose causes decrease in TG synthesis which decreases VLDL/LDL plasma -> decreases cholesterol delivery to peripheral cells
Peripheral cells niacin
Decrease in VLDL /LDL causes decrease cholesterol delivery which
Increased cholesterol removal causes increase HDL plasma which increases cholesterol delivery to liver which increase excretion of cholesterol in bile
Name fabric acid derivatives (fibrates)
Gemfibrozil
Fenofibrate
Pharmacokinetics fabric acid derivatives
Well absorbed when taken with a meal but less when taken on an empty stomach; gemfibrozil half life is 1.5 hours;
Fenofibrate half life is 20 hours
MOA fabric acid derivatives (fibrates)
Agonists for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARa), when activated, PPARa binds to DNA, regulating the expression of genes encoding proteins involved in lipoprotein structure and function (lipoprotein lipase, app A-I, app A-II expression is increased and apo C-III is decreased)
Major effect is increased oxidation of FA in liver and striated muscle
Increased lipolysis of TG via lipoprotein lipase while intracellular lipolysis in adipose tissue is decreased
VLDL levels decrease, LAL modestly decrease in most patients (LDL levels can increase as TG are reduced), HDL increase moderately
Why use fibrates
Management of hypertriglyceridemias where VLDL predominates, dysbetalipoproteinemia, and hyperTG that results from treatment with viral protease inhibitors
AE GI fibrocartilage acid derivatives
Mild GI disturbances are msot common and usually subside; increased the risk of cholelithiasis (due to an increase int he cholesterol content of bile) and should be used with caution in patients with biliary tract disease or in those at high risk (women, obese, native Americans
Fibrates and liver
Increased serum transaminases (3x normal)
Muscle fibrates
Myositis can occur (evaluate for muscle weakness and tenderness) myopathy and rhabdomyolysis have been reported (increased risk when fibrates and statins combined)
Fibrates anticoagulants

Name bile acid sequesterants (resins)
Colestipol, cholestyramine, colesevelam
Pharmacokinetics bile acid sequestrants
Large polymeric cationic exchange resins that are insoluble in water; neighbor absorbed nor metabolically altered by the intestine; totally excreted int he feces
MOA bile acid sequestrants
Positively changed compounds bind to negatively charged bile acids (metabolites of cholesterol) and increase bile acid excretion up to tenfold; increased excretion of bile acids enhance the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids int he liver via 7a-hydrocylation (normally controlled by negative feedback via bile acids) the decline in hepatic cholesterol stimulates an increase in hepatic LDL receptor, which enhances LDL clearance and lowers levels; however this effect is partially offset by enhanced cholesterol synthesis caused by upregulation of HMG-CoA reductase (therefore, combined use of statin substantially increases the effectiveness of resins)
Why use bile acid sequestrants
Bile acid sequestrants are used to treat patients with primary hypercholesterolemia (reduces LAL by 20%);
Monotherapy or in combination with niacin for treatment of Type II a and type IIb hyperlipidemia; use to relieve pruritus in patients who have bile salt accumulation
AE GI bile acid sequestrants
The most common, high doses impair the absorption of fat soluble vitamins ADEK
Impaired absorption of numerous drugs, including tetracycline, phenobarbital, digoxin, warfarin , pravastatin, fluvastatin, asprin and thiazide diuretics
How give resins

Contraindications bile acid sequestrants
Avoid or use with caution in patients with diverticulitis, preexisting bowel disease, or cholestasis
Name cholesterol absorption inhibitors

Highly water insoluble
Majority is excreted int he feces
22 hr half life
MOA ezetimibe
Selectively inhibits intestinal absorption of cholesterol and phytosterols
Thought to inhibit the transport protein NPC1L1
Effective even in the absence of dietary cholesterol due to inhibition of reabsorption of cholesterol excreted in bile

What is homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia
Mutations leading to dysfunctional LDL receptors incapable of taking up LDL fromt he bloodstream; reductase inhibitors rely on functional LDL receptors to achieve a LDL lowering effect and will not work in patients with homozygous familial hypercholestermia
Lomitapide MOA
Directly binds to an inhibits microsomes TG transverse protein MTP which is located in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. MTP inhibiton prevents the assembly of apo-B containing lipoproteins in enterocytes and hepatocytes resulting in reduced production of chylomicrons and VLDL and subsequently reduces plasma LDL-C concentrations

Blood clot
All clots involve both platelets and fibrin but the degree of involvement of platelet/fibrin in thrombus formation depends not he vascular location
White thrombus (platelet rich)
Forms in high pressure arteries and is the result of platelet binding to the damaged endothelium and aggregation with little involvement of fibrin
Pathological condition associated with white thrombi: local ischemia due to arterial occlusion (in coronary arteries: MIunstable angina)
Red thrombus (fibrin rich with trapped RBC)
Forms in low pressure veins and in heart; result of platelet binding and aggregation followed by formation of bulky fibrin tails in which red blood cells become enmeshed
Pathological conditions associated with red thrombi: pain and severe swelling, embolism and distal pathology (embolic stroke)
