A

decrease conduction veolcity through sa and av nodes
decrease bp through atrial dilation
decrease wall tension and myocardial contractility

48
Q

how do ccb improve coronary blood flow

A

vasodilates coronary arteries
decrease coronary vascular resistance
precents vasospasm

49
Q

ccb is as effective as beta blockers in preventing angina but why isnt it first line

A

hasnt been shown to improve survival after mi

50
Q

difference between dihydropyridine and non dihydropyridines

A

dhp - do not decrease av node conduction or contractility, more peripheral vasodilation
non dhp: act more centrally decreasing contractility

51
Q

example of dihydropyridine

A

amlodipine

nifedipine

52
Q

example of non dihydropyridine

A

verapamil and diltiazem

53
Q

what ccb can you use in combo with beta blockers

A

dihydropyridines only

nondhp would double the effects on the heart

54
Q

side effects of ccb

hypotension 
flushing 
headache
dizziness
peripheral edema
55
Q

non dhp side effects

bradycardia
worsening heart failure

ER: 120-360 daily

57
Q

verapamil dosing

A

IR: 80 mg tid
SR: 120-180 daily

58
Q

amlodipine dosing

A

5-10mg daily

59
Q

nifedipine dosing why only use XL

A

30-60 daily avoid IR due t increased risk of mi/stroke

60
Q

how do nitrate reduce myocardial oxygen demand

A

venodilation and arterial-arteriolar dilation

dilate coronary arteries - increase coronary blood flow

61
Q

how and what nitreates are used for acute anginal attacks

A

sublingual, buccal, spray rapidly absorbed

relieves pain in 3-15 min

62
Q

how are nitrates used to prevent effort or stress induced attacks

A

use 5 min prior to activity lasts for 30 min

63
Q

long acting nitrates are used for what

A

3rd line for controlling angina symptoms

combo with beta blocker or ccb

64
Q

2 long acting formulations

A

isosorbide dinitrate

transdermal nitroglycerin

65
Q

why arent nitrates first line

A

havent been shown to reduce mortalitiy in patients with CAD

relieves symptoms but does not improve outcomes

66
Q

side effects of nitrates

A

headache - take tylenol normally subsides
flushing
hypotension

67
Q

tolerance can develop i taking nitrates for 7-10 days how do you manage this

A

nitrate free period 8-12 hr

recommend taking in the morning then wont need it at night so that can be nitrate free period

68

Q

***** COUNSELLING FOR NITRO PUMP SPRAY

A

do not shake, store away from light
prime by spraying 5 times
be seated
release spray onto or under tongue, close mouth, do not inhale the spray
do not expectorate or rinse the mouth for 10-15 min
contact 911 if does not relieve angina
prime again if unused for 6 weeks
use prophylactically as needed
make sure not expired and refill when needed

74
Q

** counselling for nitro sublingual tablet

A
keep in original dark container, do not store in bathroom 
be seated 
put under tongue do not swallow 
contact 911 if does not relieve angina 
use prophalactically as needed 
good for 6 months after opened
75
Q

what are secondary prevention agents

A

antiplatelet - asa, clopidogrel
statins
acei
revascularization - ptca, cabg

76

prevent thromus formation

77
Q

dose for asa

A

75- 325 mg daily

Q

dos of clopidogrel and when do you use it

A

75mg daily

when cant tolerate asa

79
Q

should you use asa and clopidogrel together

A

no benefit compared to asa alone and increase bleeding events - no

80
Q

what do statins do in ischemia heart disease

A

decrease cv death and nonfatal mi in patients with established chd

81

what is the recommended target with statins

A

<2mmol/L or 50% reduction from baseline - wrong

82
Q

what doses of simvastatin and atorvastatin are recommended

A

sim - 40 daily

ator - 80 daily

83
Q

how do acei help in ischemic heart disease

A

decrease sympathetic adrenergic transmission
decrease afterload by lowering bp
increase coronary blood flow

84
Q

which acei should reduction of cv death, nonfatal mi, and nonfatal stroke and at what dose

A

ramipril 10mg daily

perindopril 8mg

85
Q

benefit of acei beyond bp control in low risk chd patients is questionable so when is it indicated for ischemia

A
bp control in addition to bb 
prior mi 
lv dysfunction 
diabetes 
chronic kidney carrier
86
Q

what arb is used at what dose

A

telmisartan 80

87
Q

when are arbs recommended for patients at high risk of cv events

A

A

in symptomatic high risk patients unlikely to benefit from medical treatment alone
no improvement after maximization on medications

89

A

ok
