Q

Cardiac oxygen demand determined by

A

Rate, contractility, pre and afterload.

Increased pr and afterload increase wall tension

Q

Variant angina drugs

A

nitrates or CCBs relax coronary vessels. Beta blockers and ranolazine won’t help (they reduce MVO2)

Q

Nitro vasodilator actions

A

Mostly on veins.
VSM uptakes and conerts to nitric oxide, it needs sulfhydrl groups to do this
Nitric oxide activates guanylyl cyclases which catalyzes formation of cGMP. cGMP dephosphorylates light-chain myosin in smooth muscle (phosphorylated myosin interacts with actin to produce contraction)

Q

MOA nitro

A

Decreases cardiac oxyen demand.
Decrease preload decreases wall tension to decrease MVO2
In variant angina it increases oxygen supply instead of reducing O2 demand as it relaxes spastic arteries

Q

Nitro and PDE5

A

Both work by increasing cGMP, thats why synergistic effect is so pronounced

Q

Nitro tolerance

A

Can develop over a single day, possibly from depletion of sulfhydryl groups in VSM or depleting mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase which is also needed to convert to nitric oxide
Tolerance reverses quickly (pts on nitro all the time need to take it off for 8 hours)

Q

Nitro timing

A

Subling 1-3 min onset, duration 30-60
Oral 20-45 min
Patch 30-60 minute with 24 hours working

Q

Betablockers angina

A

Good for angina of effort but not for vasospastic angina

Work by decreasing MVO2 by decreasing rate and contractility

Q

CCB

A

Verapamil and dilitazem dilate arterials in cardiac
Nifedipine only in peripheral
All can be used for vasospastic and stable/UA

Q

Ranolzaine

A

Can prolong QT
Doesn’t drop rate, BP or vascular resistance
Reduces sodium and calcium in myocardial cells which may help heart work more efficiently
Interact with CYP3A4 inhibitors (grapefruit juice, CCB except amlodipine)

Q

Three tx goals for UA

A

Anti-ishemic
Antiplatelet
Anticoagulant

17
Q

Nitro indications

A

ACS, pulmonary edema

18
Q

Nitro contras

A

Hypotension
PDE5 use
RVI

19
Q

Nitro dose

A

20mcg/min increase by 10 every 5
0.4mg q 5 prn or until pressure hits 100mmHg
Same for pulmonary edema as ACS

20
Q

Nitro infusion

A

15mg to 250mL of D5W for 60mcg/mL

21
Q

What doesn’t work on prinzmetal

A

Beta blockers

Work by decreasing MVO2 and decrease chrono, dromo and inotropic effects

22
Q

B1 MOA

A

Agonist binds, conformational change in receptor causes a change in G protein (activates) and the alpha subunit dissociates and activates cAMP which activates protein kinase that phosphorylates calcium channels

23
Q

Sides of beta blockers

A

Insomnia, depression, bizarre dreams

24
Q

Metoprolol indications

Severe/prolonged hypotension
HX of airway disease
Overt heart failure
2nd/3rd degree block
