how fast do you need to do reperfusion therapy for STEMI?

A

within 30 minutes upon arrival

28
Q

what is the reperfusion therapy for NSTEMI/UA?

81-325mg; TWF

30
Q

What it the discussion of therapy with a P2Y12 inhibitor for DAPT therapy? is a loading dose needed?

A
  1. loading dose then maintenance
  2. 12 m therapy
31
Q

when would you use cangrelor in therapy?

A

when you did not receive a loading dose; IV given during PCI procedure

32
Q

What is the loading dose and maintenance dose for clopidogrel?

A

loading: 300-600
main: 75 QD

33
Q

What is the loading dose and maintenance dose for prasugrel?

A

load: 60
main: 10 qd

34
Q

What is the loading dose and maintenance dose for ticagrelor?

A

load 180
main 90 bid

35
Q

when is the 600mg dose not preferred for plavix and what would the loading dose be in different age brackets?

A
  • with fibrinolytics
    < or 75 = 300mg
    > 75 = no load dose
36
Q

What could be some reasons to switch to other P2Y12?

A

cost, side effects, not a good response, stroke risk, bleeding risk

37
Q

When using a P2Y12 for an NSTEMI/UA and have the ischemia guided strategy, what is the preferred agents?

A

clopidogrel and ticagrelor

38
Q

When using a P2Y12 for an NSTEMI/UA and have the early invasive stretegy, what is the preferred agents?

A

preference for prasugrel or ticagrelor but any can be used

39
Q

When using a P2Y12 for an STEMI with fibrinolytic strategy, what is the preferred agents?

40
Q

When using a P2Y12 for an STEMI with PCI, what is the preferred agents?

A

ticagrelor or prasugrel preferred

41
Q

what are some minor vs. major risk of bleeding?

A

MINOR:
- bruising
- light nosebleeds
- bleeding gums when flossing
MAJOR:
- blood in urine/stool
- coughing blood
- ongoing bleeding wounds

42
Q

Should aspirin be held before a CABG surgery?

43
Q

How long should the P2Y12s be held for prior to elective CABG?

A
  • ticag –> 3d
  • clop –> 5d
  • prasu –> 7d
44
Q

how long should a P2Y12 be held for an urgent CABG?

Q

what are the GP2b/3a inhibitors ?

A

abiciximab, eptifibatide, and tirofiban

Q

when would you use a GP2b/3a?

in addition to DAPT
- given at same time of PCI and on an individual basis

47
Q

what are the specific reasons you would give a GP2a/3b in STEMI/NSTEMI?

NSTEMI: high risk features such as high troponin
STEMI: large thrombus burden

51
Q

what GP2a/3bs need renal adjustment? What is the cut off?

eptifibatide = < 50
tirofiban = < 60

52
Q

when using UFH what is it administered as and what do you need to keep watch for? ( what values?)

A
  1. continuous infusion
  2. aPTT ot ACT
53
Q

how is enoxaparin eliminated?

A

kidneys and accumulates in renal impairment

54
Q

what is bivalirudin and what have trials shown? (what trials)

A
  1. DTI
  2. not used with GPs except bail out
  3. HEAT– not effective as much for MACE
  4. – BRIGHT and MATRIX as lower bleed risk
55
Q

what is fondaparinux and when should you not use it?

A

factor 10a inhibitor
1. dont use alone for PCI –> high thrombis rates
2. CI in CrCl < 30

56
Q

when should a BB be initiated for ACS?

A

first 24 hrs of ACS

57
Q

when would you not want to start a BB?

A

HR < 50
uncontrolled asthma/ RAD
Risk of shock or low output state

58
Q

what 3 BBs are utilized more in patients with HFrEF? (<40% for reference)

A

metoprolol succinate, carvedilol, bisoprolol

59
Q

when should you give a BB in a person using cocaine?

A

use carvedilol since binds to alpha receptors but initiate when out of system

60
Q

what should you do with a BB in HF?

A

avoid starting new or increasing dose during an acute exacerbation due to inc. risk of pulmonary edema

61
Q

when could you consider a CCV? what type specifically of CCB?

A

non-DHP if pt has recurrent ischemia and CI to BBs (diltiazem or verapamil)

62
Q

what is the theory for a statin in ACS?

A

initiate or be on HIS

63
Q

when should an ace/arb be initiated for different groups?

A
  1. they should get it but if they have HFrEF, CKD, DM they should get it ideally within 24 hours or sooner rather than later
64
Q

when would you not use an ace or arb?

A
  • hypotension/shock
  • acute renal failure
  • angioedema
  • bilateral renal artery stenosis
