Q

What causes stable angina?

A

Plaque build up on the inner walls of coronary arteries (atherosclerosis) causing narrowing in the arteries and reduced blood flow to heart=decreased myocardial oxygen supply

Q

What’s stable angina?

A

Decreased myocardial O2 supply to due to reduced blood flow from narrowed arteries by atherosclerotic plaque

Q

How antianginal Tx works in SIHD

A

BB: decrease O2 demand by decreasing HR and decreasing contractility

CCB: decrease O2 demand by
non-DHP decrease HR and contractility
DHP decrease SVR (decrease afterload)
increase O2 supply by increasing blood flow (all CCBs) thru coronary arteries

Nitrates: decrease O2 demand by vasodilation veins (decrease preload)
increase O2 supply by increasing blood flow thru collateral arteries (non-atherosclerotic)

Ranolazine: decreases O2 demand by decreasing ventricular tension and oxygen consumption (by inhibiting late phase Na and decreasing intracellular Ca)
