Exam 1 - Wendt (Ischemia) Flashcards
Angina Pain occurs when there is decreased ________ or increased _________
decreased coronary blood flow
increased oxygen consumption
what things my lead to decrease coronary blood flow
blockages (vasospasm, fixed stenosis, thrombus)
what things may lead to increased oxygen consumption
increased heart rate
increase contractility
increased afterload
increased preload
what are the risk factors for angina pectoris
- age (> 55 - men; > 65 - women)
- cigarette smoking
- diabetes
- HTN
- Kidney disease
- obesity
- sedentary lifestyle
Preload is seen as a _______ vs Afterload is _______
Preload - volume
afterload - pressure/force
Preload _______ when veins are dilated
decreased
Afterload is _______ when arteries are dilated
decreased
preload decreases when _____ are dilated
veins
afterload decreases when ______ are dilated
arteries
Pre-Load or After-Load: Which one (when decreased) will cause an increase in myocardial perfusion
Preload
What are the 3 hemodynamic factors that influence the O2 supply/demand ratio
Preload
afterload
Heart rate
Chronotropic or Inotropic?
will change heart rate or rhythm
chronotropic
Chronotropic or Inotropic?
will change the strength of contractility
Inotropic
3 types of angina?
- Printzmetal;s/Variant Angina (Vasospasm)
- Chronic Stable Angina (fixed stenosis)
- Unstable Angina (thrombus)
which angina is known as vasospasm
Printzmetal/Variant Angina
when does printzmetal usually occur
night/at rest
which angina is known as fixed stenosis
chronic stable angina
which angina is known as thrombus
unstable angina
which angina is known as supply ischemia
vasospasm/printzmetal/variant
AND
unstable/thrombus
which angina is known as demand ischemia
chronic stable ischemia
which angina is an emergency
unstable/thrombus… (possible MI on the way)
which angina is normally occurring during exertion/after eating/due to heightened emotional states
chronic/stable
2 main causes of Stable/Classic Angina
- Atherosclerosis
- Chronic yet stable obstruction of coronary arteries
With Stable/Classic Angina - the ____ demand exceeds supply due to inadequate _______
O2; perfusion
What commonly triggers vasospasm/printzmetal/variant angina
atherosclerotic damage to endothelium
What agents are used to increase O2 Supply (general terms/drug classes)
vasodilators (CCBs and nitrodilators)
statins
antithrombotics (antiplatelets and anticoagulants)
What agents are used to decrease O2 demand (general terms/drug classes)
Beta adrenergic antagonists
Ca2+ entry blockers
Organic nitrates
HCN channel inhibitor
Treatment Goals for Angina:
Dilate coronary arteries
decrease O2 demand
decrease preload and afterload
MOA for Organic Nitrates:
the nitrates become NO (nitric oxide)
Activation of guanylate cyclase
Organic Nitrates:
dilate (arteries or veins?)
VEINS
very very very minor artery dilation…
Organic Nitrates:
decrease (preload or afterload)
preload (because they dilate veins)
How does NO lead to relaxation/dilation?
NO –> activates soluble GC –> GTP to cGMP –> increase activity of PKG (protein kinase G) –> activates MLCP (myosin light chain phosphotase) –> dephosphorylation of MLC/detachment of myosin from actin
NO has short or long half life – and why?
SHORT(bc high affinity for hemoglobin)
what are the nitrate compounds mentioned in lecture?
glyceryl trinitrate (GTN)
Isosorbide Mononitrate
Isosorbide Dinitrate
which nitrate is used strictly for attacks
GTN (glyceryl trinitrate)
which nitrate has the shortest half life?
GTN (~ 5 mins)
Bioactivation of organic nitrates occurs mainly by ______ in the ______ of target cells
ALDH2; mitochondria
why does tolerance occur for organic nitrates?
ALDH2 is needed to convert nitrates to NO — ALDH2 needs time to regenerate
CCBs dilate (arteries or veins)
arteries
