Q

Tezacaftar + Ivacaftor use in CF

A

Q

Impact on the rate of decline of FEV1 with the use of the CFTR modulators

A

-acute PE rate was decreased with the use of each CFTR modulator
-showed decreased rate in the decline of lung funcction over a longer period of time therefore- these pts improved their health acutely + stayed healthier for longer
*take each modulator with fat containing meal
*dose reduction is required in moderate-severe hepatic function

A

-diutetic tx
-electrolyte abnormalities
- > 1 QT prolonging agent
-organ function

68
Q

approach to drug induced QT prolongation

A

-avoid QTc interval prolonging drugs in patients w/ pretreatment intervals > 450 ms
-reduce dose of d/c prolonging agents if QTc increases > 60 ms
-d/c prolonging agent if QTc increases to > 500 ms
-MAINTAIN K > 4 AND MG > 2 (anything below these values has shown to inc risk of TdP
-avoid concomitant administration of QTc interval prolonging drugs
-avoid use of QTc interval-prolonging drugs in pts with a hx of drug induced TdP

69
Q

Treatment of drug induced Torsade de pointes

A

1- d/c the offending agent that can potentially cause prolonged QT
2- magnesium IV push or infusion (based on pulse)
3- transcutaneous pacing (pads that send electric stim to speed up the heart)
4-Isoproterenol infusion ($$, alts are: epinephrine or atropine)
if at any point the pt is hemodynamically unstable, cardioversion or defibrillation is required

70
Q

3 main causes of drug induced HF

A

1- sodium and volume retention
2- direct cardiotoxicity –> cardiomyopathy
3- negative ionotropy

71
Q

HF due to sodium and fluid retention

A
  • NSAIDs, steroids & TZDs
    NSAIDs & steroids: in pts with HF: AVOID is possible
    -TZDs: BBW- avoid in pts with NYHA III-IV
72
Q

HF due to cardiomyopathy

A

-chemotherapeutic agents, biological agents, & alcohol
-chemo: anthracyclines, alkylating agents
-bio: Trastuzumab
-alcohol: direct toxic effects on the myocardium

73
Q

HF due to negative ionotropy

A

-non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (diltiazem or verapamil)
-beta blockers

74
Q

Anthracycline induced cardiomyopathy

A

classic hallmark drug that causes cardiotoxicity + cardiomyopathy from chemo
–> most common: doxorubicin, daunorubicin
-TOP2B is the mediator for anthracycline induced cardiomyopathy

75
Q

Anthracycline induced cardiomyopathy: mechanism of damage

A

–> TOP2B: causes cell death in all cells, including cardiac myocytes
-inhibition of TOP2B causes DNA breakdown + cell death via increased free radicals of oxygen and defective mitochondrial biogenesis

76
Q

Anthracycline induced cardiomyopathy: treatment

A

Dexrazoxane: binds to TOP2B to prevent anthracycline binding + helps prevent the cardiotoxicity portion of the drug
limit anthracycline dose to 550 mg/m2

77
Q

Risk factors for drug induced HF (treatment related)

A

-cumulative dose of anthracycline ( > 400 mg/m2)
-dosing schedule
-previous anthracycline therapy
-radiation therapy
-co administration of potentially cardiotoxic agents

78
Q

Risk factors for drug induced HF (patient related)

A

-age
-preexisting cardiovascular disease or risk factors
-obesity
-smoking
-gender (maybe?)

79
Q

Trastuzumab induced cardiomyopathy

A

-Trastuzumab is a HER2 receptor antagonist that can be used in certain types of breast cancer –> the cardiomyopathy is usually reversible (slowly) once drug is discontinued!
-risk factors for development of cardiomyopathy: advanced age, presence of CV comorbidities, previous tx with anthracyclines

80
Q

what are 4 things that are occur due to inhibition of HER2 receptors that lead to HF?

A

-increased reactive oxygen species (ROS)
-reduced NOS expression
-reduced nitric oxide bioavailability
-increased angiotensin II
*all 4 lead to an increased vascular resistance

81
Q

Warnings & BBW of Trastuzumab

A

-no contriindications based on manufacturer but it is recommended to avoid in pts with a hx of HF –> evaluate LVEF in all pts to and during tx.
BBW: associated with symptomatic + asymptomatic reduction in LVEF + development of HF

82
Q

treatment of Trastuzumab induced cardiomyopathy

A

-dose adjustments based on LVEF
-consider dose reduction or discontinuation if HF develops
-consider using HF medications drug tx if EF declines ( ACE/ARB or beta-blockers)

83
Q

HF due to negative inotropy

A

-non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers: avoid in pts with EF < 40%
-beta-blockers: avoid in acute HF exacerbations

84
Q

mechanisms of drug induced myocardial ischemia + acute coronary syndrome: increased myocardial oxygen demand

A

-increased HR & contractility –> cocaine, B-agonists, sympathomimetics, withdrawal of B-blockers, potent vasodilators

85
Q

mechanisms of drug induced myocardial ischemia + acute coronary syndrome: decreased myocardial oxygen supply

A

-increased coronary resistance (vasospasm) –> cocaine, anti-migraine agents (triptans)

86
Q

mechanisms of drug induced myocardial ischemia + acute coronary syndrome: drug induced ACS

A

-coronary artery thrombosis/vasospasm –> cocaine, oral contraceptives, NSAIDs, estrogens, anti-migraine agents
-increased cardiovascular risk: cocaine, estrogens, NSAIDs, HIV agents, oral cantroceptives, rosiglitazone

87
Q

cocaine induced myocardial infarction

A

-MI caused by vasospasm + vasoconstriction of coronary arteries
sympathomimetic crisis: cocaine inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine leading to increased NE concentration + enhanced alpha 1 mediated vasoconstriction

88
Q

Treatment of cocaine induced myocardial infarction: chest pain

A

-aspirin
-benzodiazepines

89
Q

Treatment of cocaine induced myocardial infarction: persistent hypertension

A

-benzodiazepines
-IV nitroglycerin

Treatment of cocaine induced myocardial infarction: others + long term

A

-possibly avoid beta blockers (eh choice)
-drug abuse counseling

91
Q

Mechanism of NSAID induced cardiotoxicity

A

-PG12 & TXA2: vascular vasodilation + decreased platelet aggregation
–> affects the vasculature of out coronary arteries, which are what brings that oxygenated blood to our heart muscles—BLOCKING this causes vasoconstriction in these arteries = decrease the amount of oxygen that can be delivered to the heart muscles
-physiologic effect of COX inhibition = MI, stroke

92
Q

NSAID BBW

A

may cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, MI, and stroke which can be fatal. this risk may increase with duration of use. Pts with cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease may be at greater risk

93
Q

A

-only 40-60% of pts show a recurrence of DILI after a rechallenge test dose
-many ots may not encounter problems unless given long term therapy ( up to 12 weeks) with the offending agent
*re challenge may only be considered if the pt had only cholestatic injury!!!
(DO NOT rechallenge if pt had hepatocellular injury!!)

135
Q

**NAC is CRUTIAL!
-supportive care: IV fluids, management of N/V, correction of hypoglycemia + vitamin K/FFP

139
Q

NAC mechanism of action (In DILI)

A

-serves as a glutathione substitute detoxifying NAPQ1
-serves as a precursor to glutathione resulting in increased glutathione production
-may also allow for more nontoxic metabolism thought increased sulfating

140
Q

What if the APAP level is outside the 4-24 hr window? prior to 4 hrs

A

-consider activated charcoal
-wait and recheck at hour 4 to assess whether ot not NAC is needed

141

What if the APAP level is outside the 4-24 hr window? after 24 hrs: if AST is elevated regardless of APAP level

A

begin NAC

142
Q

A

begin NAC

143
Q

PO NAC

A

-dosing: 72 hr protocol
Side effects: bad taste, N/V in 50% of pts
-need pretreatment with anti-emetics, may be difficult to administer to pts with AMS
-NAC delivery may be delayed up to an hour until it can be absorbed in duodenum
-PO therapy should be changed to IV if liver failure develops

144
Q

IV NAC

A

dosing: 20 hr protocol (potentially shorter hospital stay)
Side effects: anaphylactoid reactions (rash, flushing, bronchospasm)
-usually minor but can be severe
-pts can almost always restart without recurrence even if severe rxn occurs
**preferred in pts with liver failure, pregnancy + inability to tolerate PO

145
Q

NAC treatment duration in DILI

A

continue if:
-ongoing liver failure present
-detectable APAP or ongoing hepatic damage

146
Q

~some DILI conclusions~

A

-aside from APAP, antimicrobials = CNS agents are most commonly associated with DILI
-DILI pts can present with hepatocellular damage, cholestatic injury or a mixed hepatocellular/cholestatic etiology
-increases in ALT and AST are associated with hepatocellular damage + increases in ALP are associated with cholestatic injury
-APAP intoxicated pts need to be evaluated with the Rumack-Matthew nomogram + started on NAC therapy if they fall above the treatment line, ideally within 8 hrs of ingestion
