Coronary Heart Diesase and Thromboembolic CV pathologies Flashcards
1
Q
Oxygen supply to myocardium
A
- Hearts myocardium receives high levels of oxygen during diastole as blood is entering heart
- When there is no contraction heart receives high amount of blood supply
2
Q
Coronary circulation
A
- Two tiny arteries leaving out of the aorta
- Profuse blood to the myocardium
- Handles high BP
3
Q
Myocardial ischemia
A
- Thickening of internal surfaces of arteries or progression of atherosclerosis lesions occlude oxygen supply cause CVD
4
Q
Coronary artery flow angina
A
- Atherosclerosis lesions narrow coronary artery and reduce ability for dilation
- Lesions rupture and stimulate platelet aggregation causing thrombus to occlude artery restrict blood supply
5
Q
Symptoms of angina
A
- Reduced capacity in artery causes stress chest pains no change in troponin ECG
6
Q
Unstable angina
A
- Rapid reduction of blood flow due to rupture severe chest pain requiring urgent treatment
- No change in troponin some ST depression in ECG
7
Q
Antianginal drugs
A
- Nitrates for acute attacks/ preventative measures - sublingual glyceryl trinitite
8
Q
Nitric acid cytoplasmic guanylyl cyclase receptor
A
- Nitric oxide endothelium derived vasodilator factor
- Stimulate cytoplasmic guanylyl cyclase
- Activate protein kinase G causing smooth muscle dilation
- PDE isoform breaks down cGMP
9
Q
Nitrates
A
- Acute angina attacks/ Preventative measure
- Isosorbide dinitrate (organic)
- Isosorbide mononitrate (organic)
- nitroglycerin
10
Q
The effects of nitrates on Systemic vasculature
A
- Increased venous dilation
- decrease venous pressure
- Decrease arterial pressure
11
Q
The effects of nitrates on cardiac
A
- Reduced preload and afterload
- Decrease oxygen demand
12
Q
The effects of nitrates on coronary
A
- Prevents reverse vasospasm
- Vasodilation
- Improves subendocardial perfusion
- Increased oxygen delivery
13
Q
Beta-Blockers
A
- Cardio specific depression of sympathetic activity
- Reduce heart rate & lengthened diastole
- Increased oxygen supply to myocardium
- Patient with variant angina or HF are contraindicated
14
Q
Calcium- Channel blocker
A
- Verapamil and diltiazem cardiac specific
- Amlodipine effective for patient with Prinzmetal angina
15
Q
Second line inhibitors
A
- Ivabradine selectively block hyperpolarization activated cyclic nucleotide gate in SA node
- Lowers heart rate without effecting contractility of cardiac muscle
16
Q
Class ID sodium channel blocker
A
- Ranolazine blocks late inward sodium currents occurring during phase II of ventricular action potentials
