CV-Coags - CV-Coags Flashcards
DVT, PE, Prophalxis, Hypercoag dz, CVA, MI, Prosthetic valves all require what type of RX?
Anticoagulants
What RX anticoagulants require parenteral administration?
- Heparin 2. Low MW Heparins 3. Factor Xa inhibitors 4. Direct Thrombin Inhibitors
Which oral agent is Vit K Antagonist because Vit K help blood clots?
Warfarin
What factors does Vit K activate?
Progresss clotting 1. Factor II prothrombin, VII proconvertin, IX thromboplastin, X
- Clopidogrel/Prasugrel/Ticlopidine/Ticagrelor(Brilinta®), 2. ASA/Dipyridamole, 3. Glycoprotein IIB/IIIA Inhibitors
Antiplatelet Agents
What are clotting factors?
Zymogen proteins that lead to clot formation made in the liver, that circulate w/in the plasma and on blood vessel walls
What happens with a scratch/injury?
Vascular phase 1. vasoconstriction 2. collagen released signal platelets to adhere 3. Endothelial cells release TNF
What activates zymogen clotting factors?
Tissue necrosis factor: released by collagen, endothical cells, and platelets. Goal- activate VII _ VIIa.
What is the extrinsic pathway?
Tissue injury_TNF_ VII_VIIa
What is intrinsic pathway
Clotting factors 9-12 activate each other like a chain
Which factors balance and checkpoint for stop or go of clotting factors?
Protein C&S
What do majority of anticoagulants do?
They stop formation of clotting factor into active form. Affect VIIa!
Which agent blocks plasminogen_plasmin
tPA-Tissue plasminogen activators
Which class affects only prothrombin to thrombin?
IIa inhibitors
Which class affects prothrombin_thrombin + others?
Xa inhibitors
What is Primary goal of anticlotting RX?
Prevention+TX of thrombosis in vv. and aa
What is Secondary goal of anticlotting RX?
only for arterial or intracardiac thrombosis
Which have higher platelet count?
aa and cardiac vessels. Clot form a WHITE THROMBUS
Which have lower platelet count?
Veins- make sense less clots to lung and heart d/t constant return to heart. RED THROMBUS. VV-capacity holds more blood volume
Mr. KFC had a MI, PMH CVA, and PE. What type of agent dissolve existing thrombus for acute treatment of thrombosis?
Fibrinolytic-TPA
What is MOA of warfarin?
Inhibits Vit K. thus L/T block clotting factors 2,7.9,10, C&S
What may happen initially with Warfarin?
**Inhibits C&S so my have procoag initially. DEC Cofactor_ INC clot initially . IF lingers consider Acquired protein C deficiency
What is S-warfarin?
Warfarin isomer mirror image, S-activates CYP2CP. 3-4x potent V-K antagonist
