Q

How do Nitrates work?

A

Converted to NO in the cell -> increased intracellular cGMP -> smooth muscle relaxation (by decreasing intracellular Ca2+) -> results in venoldilation, coronary vasodilation and systemic arterial vasodilation

Q

What is External counterpulsation?

A

25
Q

What is the MOA for Clopidogrel?

A

-Second generation Thienopyridine which acts as a irreversible ADP P2Y12 antagonist

26
Q

What is unique about the metabolism of Clopidogrel? What consequences can this have

A
  • It’s a prodrug, which requires 2 metabolism and activation steps through the cytochrome P450 (Genetic Polymorphisms in this enzyme in patients of asian decent)
  • This can result in these individuals having ‘clopidogrel resistance’ where less than standard (50-60%) platelets are inhibited.
27
Q

What is the MOA of Ticagrelor?

A

-It is a reversible direct P2Y12 antagonist with rapid onset of action

28
Q

What are three adverse effects of Ticagrelor?

A
  • Dyspnea
  • Bradycardia/Pauses
  • Creatinine increase (reversible)
29
Q

Name 3 contraindications for Ticagrelor use

A
  • Active bleeding
  • Severe liver disease
  • ICH history
30
Q

What is the MOA of Aspirin

A

-Irreversible inhibitor of COX-1 (and TXA synthesis)
