16
Q

What is the goal of angina meds

A

Decrease oxygen demand increase oxygen supply

17
Q

What do nitrites do

A

Decrease preload and after load

18
Q

What do beta blockers do

A

Slow HR to decrease oxygen demand, decreases contractility

19
Q

What do calcium channel blockers do

A

Cause vascular relaxation, less pumping force

20
Q

When would IV nitrites be given

A

In emergency with high BP

21
Q

What vital sign needs to be taken before giving nitroglycerin

A

BP

22
Q

How many sprays of nitroglycerin can be given

A

3 sprays. Take BP between each spray

23
Q

Which angina drug has to be replaced often due to expiry

A

Nitroglycerin

24
Q

Why does nitroglycerin come in a red bottle

A

Light sensitive

25
Q

How long does it take for nitroglycerin to work

A

2 mins

26
Q

Nitrates can cause which adverse effect that usually goes away with continued use

A

Headache

27
Q

Why do nitrates cause reflex tachycardia

A

Body compensates for low BP by increasing HR

28
Q

Nitrate tolerance occurs when

A

Taking around the clock
Long acting forms

29
Q

How to prevent nitrate tolerance

A

Take breaks from medication

30
Q

Do not give nitrates with what drugs because it will further drop BP

A

Erectile dysfunction drugs

31
Q

What do beta blockers do

A

Decrease oxygen demand

32
Q

Which angina med blocks catecholamines from irritating heart after MI

A

Beta blockers

33
Q

Grapefruit juice impairs metabolism of what angina med

A

Calcium channel blockers

34
Q

IV nitroglycerin has to be given with what kind of IV tubing

A

Polyvinyl chloride to prevent breakdown into cyanide
