when there is a CI to aspirin

36
Q

Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with ASA and clopidogrel is reserved for which patients (& what is the duration)

A
  • bare metal stent placement (DAPT for at least 1 month)
  • Drug-eluting stent (DAPT for at least 6 months)
  • post-CABG (DAPT for 12 months)
37
Q

Aspirin is dosed at ___ mg daily in Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) regimens and is continued indefinitely at 75-162 mg daily after this course of DAPT therapy

38
Q

Mechanism of clinical benefit of BB in SIHD

A

decreases HR

decreases contractility

decreases LV wall tension

39
Q

Which drug class is preferred for Prinzmetal’s angina

40
Q

Mechanism of clinical benefit of CCBs in SIHD (non-DHP and DHP)

A

non-DHPs: decrease HR and contractility

DHPs: decrease SVR (afterload)

41
Q

Mechanism of clinical benefit of nitrates in SIHD

A

Decrease preload
