Q

How does NO lead to relaxation/dilation?

A

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

through L-type; binds to Calmodulin (CM) for secondary; binds to troponin on actin

43
Q

46
Q

Beta blockers have negative inotropic and chronotropic effects by block _______ in myocytes and nodal cells (respectively)

A

block cAMP signaling

47
Q

Coronary perfusion increases with beta blockers because why?

decrease HR = more filling time aka more time in diastole (diastole is only time myocardium can be perfused)

48
Q

Beta Adrenergic Receptors when stimulated in VSM do what? and via what pathway?

cause RELAXATION (relax arteries and bronchioles)

49
Q

Beta Adrenergic Receptors when stimulated in cardiocytes do what? and via what pathway?

A

cause contraction! (why we use beta blockers….)

pathway: cAMP - PKA - phosphorylate Ca2+ channels = contraction

A

beta blockers

56
Q

beta blockers increase ____load

A

pre

57
Q

beta blockers increase preload which can be problematic because why?

A

too much filling can stress the heart tf out

58
Q

how do compensate for beta blockers increasing preload

A

nitrates!

59
Q

why do nitrates work to compensate for beta blockers increasing preload

A

nitrates dilate veins aka return reduce venous return and preload!

60
Q

what is the most common combo for angina

A

nitrates and beta blockers

61
Q

what two drug combos are NEVER used for stable angina due to codepression of pacemaker cells

A

Verapamil and Beta blockers

62
Q

why is verapamil and beta blockers NOT used together for stable angina

A

they cause codepression of pacemaker cells

63
Q

step wise process for Angina (what drug combos do we do in what order

A

1 - always nitrates and beta blockers
2 - CCB + beta blockers OR nitrates + CCBs
3- last line = all 3 (nitrates, CCBs, beta blockers)
