Q

If someone has vasospastic angina — what do you for managing their anginal episodes?

A

NO BETA BLOCKERS!!

If BP > 140/90 – give CCB

Q

Aspirin at too high of doses is an issue because?

A

it will start blocking COX-2 and puts patient at actually a HIGHER thrombotic risk (we end up blocking some vasodilation)

Q

For SIHD pts getting an elective PCI: how do they utilize antiplatelets

A

They will do DAPT (dual antiplatelet therapy)
ASA 325 prior to PCI - then 81 mg QD for life
AND
Clopidogrel (300 - 600 mg before PCI) THEN 75 mg/day for either min. 6 mos (DrugElutingStent) or min. 1 month (BareMetalStent) – if major bleeding/high risk stop at 3 mos
*traditional to do clopidogrel for 12 mos

Q

For SIHD pts: if Pt gets a CABG what do they do for secondary prevention with antiplatelts

A

they do ASA 81 mg/day for life and clopidogrel 75 mg/day ~ 12 mos
(IF they had a PCI/stent before - they RESTART the 12 mos timeline after the CABG)

Q

if pt on DAPT (because of Stent/CABG) what do you do if they need non-cardiac surgery?

Q

if pt on DAPT (because of Stent/CABG) - what is risk scoring used for?

A

risk scoring helps you see how long they should be on DAPT -
if overall score is > 2 - then ok/benfit vs risk is ok for prolonged therapy
if overall score is < 2 —- unfavorable benefit vs risk for prolonger therapy

Q
ACEI are good for preventing ACS and death because....

decrease \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ migration
and possible \_\_\_\_\_\_ properties
A
stabilize PLAQUE
improve ET function
inhibit VSM cell growth
decrease MACROPHAGE migration
