Q

Describe the pharmacokinetics of Nitrates.

A
  • They have significant first pass metabolism
    • using sublingual/patch/spray increases bioavailability

Q

How do Nitrates work? (NO?)

A

They release NO and it diffuses to smooth muslces cells activity guanyl cyclase releasing GMP causing K channels to open and smooth mm to relax

Q

Describe the MOA of nitrates in stable angina. (how do we get to a decreased oxygen demand?)

A
  • Nitrate → NO → Venous dilation → Reduced preload → Decrease O2 demand

Q

AE of nitrates?

A
  • HA due to meningeal vasodilation

Q

What do nitrates interact with?

A
  • Sildenafil
  • Vardenafil
  • Tadalafil

These are ED drugs, interaction can lead to a severe drop in BP and increase in cGMP

17
Q

55 yo male diagnosed with exertional angina was prescribed sublingual nitroglycerin. Which of the following molecular actions most likely mediates the therapeutic efficacy of this drug in his disease?

  • Increase intracellular Ca concentration
  • Increase synthesis of guanylyl cyclase
  • Increase production of N20
  • Activation of myosin light chain kinase
  • Activation of protein kinase G
A
  • NO released as result of metabolic activity of nitroglycerin, will activate soluble guanylyl cyclase to make cGMP.
  • This will activate pKG to dilate venule smooth muscle
  • Activation of protein kinase G
18
Q

How do cardioactive CCB’s impact cardiac cells?

A
  • Vascular smooth muscle
  • Cardiac muscle
  • Cardiac pacemaker cells
19
Q

MOA of CCB’s in stable angina?

A
  • Decrease Oxygen demand by decreasing:
    • peripheral arterioles
    • Cardiac contractility
    • Reduced heart rate
20
Q

What are the major adverse effects of CCB’s?

A
  • Cardiac depression, arrest, and acute HF
  • Bradycardia & AV block
  • Severe hypotension
  • Nifedipine increases risk of MI in patients wit HTN
21
Q

How do Beta blockers work in stable angina?

A
  • Decrease oxygen demand of myocardium
22
Q

Which of the following will be the most likely effect of dilitazem but not nifedipine?

  • slow HR
  • Hyperpolarization of SA node
  • Short RR interval
  • Reduced PVR and BP
  • Relax vascular sm mm
A
  • slowing of HR
  • Diltiazem in cardioactive ccb that slows HR
  • Nifedipine will not effect Ca influx
23
Q

What are the beta blockers approved for Stable angina?

A
  • Propranolol
  • Nadolol
  • Metoprolol
  • Atenolol
24
Q

AE’s of Beta blockers

A
  • Reduce CO
  • Bronchoconstriction
  • Impaired glucose mobilization of liver
  • Produces unfavorable Lipoprotein profile
  • Sedation and depression
  • Withdrawl sx
25
Q

What is Ranolazine?

A
  • Inhibit late Na current in cardiomyocytes
  • It normalizes repolarization of cardiac myocytes and reduces mechanical dysfunction
    • may decrease diastolic tension and compression of coronary vessels and cardiac contractility and O2 demand
26
Q

Clinical use of Ranolazine?

A
  • Stable angina that is refractory to standard meds
  • Decrease angina episodes and improves exercise intolerance
27
Q

What is vasospastic angina?

A
  • Episodes of vasoconstriction of coronary arteries
28
Q

What is the first choice of drugs to treat vasospastic angina?

A
  • CCB’s
    • Diltiazem or amlodipine
29
Q

If CCB’s are contraindicated in a patient with vasospastic angina, what is used?

A

Long acting nitrates

30
Q

Which of the folllowing will cause tachy?

Dilitazem

Propranolol

Nifedipine

Cerapamil

Ranolazine

A
