Q

What is the MOA of Nigroglycerin?

A

Increases venous capacitance (decreases preload) Small deception in systemic arterial BP (decreases afterload) Coronary dilator

Q

Can a tolerance be built up to Nitrates?

A

Yes - if uses for more than a few hours. But it reverses rapidly (24 hours). Limits effectiveness of slow release forms.

Q

What is the MOA of Dihydropyridines?

A

Potent vasodilators Decrease O2 demand (decrease after load) Increase O2 by coronary vasodilation Relief for vasospasm –> Prinzmetal angina

Q

What is the MOA of non-Dihydropyridines?

A

Vasodilators Relieve ischemia by decreasing O2 demand by decreasing the force of contraction and HR

Q

What are some side effects of B-blockers?

A

Avoid in patents with obstructive airway disease Not to be used in patients with acutely decompensated heart failure, bradycardia and heart block Use caution in diabetes with insulin Fatigue Sexual dysfunction

17
Q

Decreases the frequency of anginal episodes and increase exercise capacity Possibly works by inhibiting I(Na) in cardiac myocytes

A

Ranolazine

18
Q

When do you use ACE inhibitors?

A

After MI to decrease mortality, especially if LV ejection fraction is low
