A

Black box warning regarding reduced effectiveness with concomitant use of ASA above 100 mg daily

135
Q

_____ : reversibly and noncompetitively binds the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) P2Y12 receptor on the platelet surface which prevents ADP-mediated activation of the GPIIb/IIIa receptor complex thereby reducing platelet aggregation

A

Cangrelor (Kengreal)

136
Q

Where is the most common place you would find Cangrelor (Kengreal)?

A

in the cath lab

IV only

137
Q

____ and ____ work by Gp IIB/IIIA receptor inhibitor. Where would you find them?

A

Eptifibatide (Integrilin)
Abciximab (Reopro)

in the cath lab

138
Q

What is the goal of fibrinolytics?

A

to breakdown thrombi in the setting of life-threatening or massive thrombi

The goal of therapy is to produce rapid thrombus dissolution, thereby restoring blood flow.

139
Q

_______ act by converting plasminogen to plasmin, which then degrades the fibrin matrix of thrombi and produces soluble fibrin degradation products.

A

Fibrinolytics

140
Q

______ preferentially activate plasminogen that is bound to fibrin, which in theory confines fibrinolysis to the formed thrombus (thus avoiding systemic activation).

A

Alteplase (tPA)

141
Q

_____ is given IV for PE with hemodynamic instability, acute STEMI, severe DVT, and ascending thrombophlebitis.

A

Alteplase (tPA)

142
Q

____ a protein produced by streptococci that combines with the proactivator plasminogen. This enzyme complex catalyzes the conversion of inactive plasminogen to active plasmin.

A

Streptokinase

143
Q

_____ is given to heart attack pts only, NOT stroke pt (will increase bleeding)

A

Streptokinase

144
Q

Heparin binds to _____ in order to exert its anticoagulant effect
