A

Unfractionated heparin
Low-molecular weight heparins (LMWH)
Fondaparinux
Direct Thrombin Inhibitors

29
Q

MOA of unfractionated heparin:

A

Heparin interacts with antithrombin to change its conformation and enhance its ability to inactivate clotting factor protease, especially thrombin (IIa), IXa, and Xa

30
Q

5 clinical uses for unfractionated heparin:

A
  1. Venous thrombosis (PE and DVT)
  2. Prevention of clotting in arterial and cardiac surgery
  3. Arterial fibrillation with embolization
  4. Prevent post-op DVT and PE after major abdominal-thoracic surgery
  5. Acute coronary syndrome or MI
31
Q

Adverse effects of unfractionated heparin:

A

Hemorrhage
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT)
-HIT is pro-thrombotic

32
Q

MOA of low molecular weight heparins:

A

Interacts with antithrombin to inactivate clotting factors IIa (thrombin) and Xa

33
Q

What do small size of heparin particles included in LMWH focus inhibition toward?

34
Q

What do large heparin molecules are needed to inhibit:

35
Q

Clinical uses for low molecular weight heparins:

A 
Venous thrombosis (PE and DVT) 
Acute coronary syndrome or MI

A

Low-molecular weight heparins

38
Q

MOA of fondaparinux:

A

Avidly binds antithrombin with high specificity, resulting in inactivation of factor Xa

39
Q

Venous thromboembolism

Thromboembolic complications associated with atrial fibrillation

Q

Adverse effects of dabigatran (2)

  1. Venous thromboembolic events (VTE) with replacements
  2. Prevent stroke and systemic embolism with no valvular atrial fibrillation
  3. Treat DVT and PE
54
Q

Combo of what with aspirin is used to reduce risk of major CV event in pts with chronic CAD or PAD

A

Rivaroxaban

55
Q

Adverse effects of direct factor X inhibitors:

A

Fatal or non-fatal bleeding

56
Q

How is oral aspirin effective if it has a high first pass metabolism?

A

All blood goes through portal quickly within 15 minutes

57
Q

What is problem with ibuprofen and aspirin?

A

Ibuprofen can block aspirin from doing its job since aspirin is irreversible and ibuprofen is

58
Q

Would a drug that inhibits CYP 2C19 amplify or reduce clopidogrel antiplatelet effect?

A

Reduce cause this coverts into active form (metabolite)

59
Q

Why does P2Y12 inhibitors cause sensation of dyspnea?

A

Increase neuronal signaling and increases conductivity of pulmonary vagal C-fibers

60
Q

5 indications for thrombocytes:

A
  1. STEMI
  2. DVT
