19
Q

Ischemic stroke tx and secondary prevention

A

alteplase IV if <4.5h from stroke onset, otherwise antiplatelets: after ruling out hemorrhage
ASA (if not on it prior)
Clopidogrel
ASA/dipyridamole
ASA+Clopidogrel in 1st 21-30 days
anticoagulants: only if antiplatelets CI in ischemic stroke tx or for 2ndary prevention of cardiogenic stroke

20
Q

angina tx

A

nitrate spray sl q5m max 3x for all pts
CCB 1st line
BB 1st line in HF or MI
long acting nitrates 2nd line

21
Q

nitrates

A

nitrate spray sl q5m max 3x for all pts w angina
nitrates po or patch 2nd line for angina sx
10-12h nitrate free interval needed to prevent tolerance
AE: transient headache, hypotension, tachycardia, dizziness, flushing

22
Q

traditional tx for VTE

A

LMWH (dalteparin, enoxaparin, nadroparin, tinzaparin)

LMWH or fondaparinux or UFH x5days/until warfarin INR>2

23
Q

newer tx for VTE

A

Rivaroxaban
Apixaban
LMWH x5d then Dabigatran
LMWH x5d then Edoxaban

24
Q

duration of VTE tx

A

provoked = 3mths
(obesity, surgery, hosp, cancer, thrombophilias, pregnancy, COCs)
unprovoked = 3-6mths to indefinite

25
Q

duration of VTE prophylaxis

A

at least 10-14 days for total knee replacement, total hip replacement, hip fracture surgery, high risk general/abdominal surgery

26
Q

VTE prophylaxis med options

A

LMWH or DOAC* x5d then switch to ASA

*rivaroxaban and apixaban demonstrated superiority over enoxaparin

27
Q

Warfarin

A

for VTE tx: target INR 2-3 measured q3d-q3m
preferred when DOACs unsuitable due to renal failure (CrCl<30), valvular disease, DDI (PGP, 3A4) or unstable condition
AE: bleeding, hair loss, blue fingers, skin necrosis
reversal with vit K1, prothrombin complex concentrate

28
Q

UFH

A

unfractionated heparin
IV or SC for VTE tx target aPPT 1.5-2.5xULN
preferred when unstable, planned invasive procedure, renal failure (CrCl<30), peri-thrombolytic
AE: 5% risk of HIT, hyperkalemia, osteoporosis
reversal with protamine sulfate

29
Q

LMWH

A

low molecular weight heparin
for DVT tx or prophylaxis
SC and more predictable wt based dosing than UFH
AE: 1% risk of HIT, lower risk of osteoporosis

30
Q

Fondaparinux

A

indirect factor Xa inhibitor
alternative to LMWH in VTE, can be used in HIT
SC wt based dosing
renally cleared

31
Q

DOAC

A

direct factor Xa inhibitors: apixaban, edoxaban
direct thrombin inhibitors: rivaroxaban, dabigatran
for VTE tx, prophylaxis, afib

32
Q

Amiodarone

A

most effective antiarrhythmic, used in vtach or afib (rhythm control)
AE: GI, derm, neuro, opth, thyroid abnormalities
DDI: digoxin

33
Q

Rate control

A

used for afib
target HR<100
options: BB, Digoxin (except in CAD), CCB (except in HF)

34
Q

Rate vs Rhythm control (CCS 2020 Guidelines)

A

in persistent (>7d) Afib:
rate control is 1st line
rhythm control preferred if diagnosed within 1y, highly sx, multiple recurrances, difficulty achieving rate control, arrhythmia induced cardiomyopathy)

35
Q

When is pill-in-pocket used for arrhythmia?

A

paroxysmal (<7d) AF

or symptomatic tachycardias (diltiazem, verapamil, BB)

36
Q

CCS Algorithm for Stroke Prevention in Afib

A 
OAC indicated if:
-age>65yo
-prior stroke/TIA, HTN, HF, Diabetes
ASA indicated if:
-CAD or PAD
37
Q

Afib + PCI or ACS tx
vs
Afib + PCI and ACS tx

A

Afib + PCI or ACS: OAC+Clopidogrel x1y then OAC

Afib + PCI and ACS: triple tx (ASA+OAC+Clopidogrel) x1d-6m then OAC+Clopidogrel x1y then OAC

38
Q

DOACs doses for Afib vs VTE

A

AFIB:
Dabigatran 150 BID; 110 BID if >80yo or high bleed risk
Rivaroxaban 20mg; 15mg if CrCl 30-45
Apixaban 5 BID; 2.5 BID if 2 of: SCr>133, >80yo, <60kg
Edoxaban 60; 30 if <60kg, CrCl 30-50
VTE:
Rivaroxaban 15mg BID x3w then 20mg daily
Apixaban 10mg BID x7d then 5mg BID
LMWH x5d then Dabigatran 150mg BID; 110 if >75yo high bleed risk
LMWH x5d then Edoxaban 60mg OD; 30 if <60kg, CrCl 30-50
