Q

What does Sildenafil do?

A

Inhibits PDE-5 inducing relaxation

20
Q

Nitrates + Sildenafil Cause?

A

Hypotension

21
Q

Where do Organic Nitrates work?

A

Peripheral Veins (Venous Circulation)

22
Q

Function of Organic Nitrates

A

Cleaves nitrates on venous side –> increases venous capacity –> Lowers Left Venous Diastolic pressure & volume –> Dec’s wall tension

23
Q

what kind of hypotension can organic nitrates cause

A

Orthostatic Hypotension

24
Q

Why are organic nitrates not given orally?

A

Avoid First pass effect

25
Q

Extra info: Enzymes on the venous side that work to release NO which then stimulates guanylate cyclase to induce relaxation

A

26
Q

Why cant you take a lot of organic nitrates

A

Builds Tolerance, caused by decrease in TISSUE SULYHYDRYL GROUPS

27
Q

True/False: Tolerance develops for Calcium Channel Blockers

A

False

28
Q

First choice for Vasospastic Angina

A

Organic Nitrates + CCB

29
Q

What is second choice for PREVENTION of exertional angina?

A

Organic Nitrates (long acting, Patches/transdermal)

30
Q

What are short acting standby drugs given to patients with coronary artery disease?

A

GTN, ISDN

31
Q

Adverse effects of Organic Nitrates

A

Headache, Dizziness, Orthostatic HYPOtension, syncope (fainting)

32
Q

nitrates decrease platelet aggregation (T/F)

A

True

33
Q

NO-mediated vasodilation of large vessels causes what?

A

preload reduction –> inc’d collateral blood flow to ischemic myocardium

34
Q

5 beta blockers used for Angina Pectoris

A

Atenolol, Metoprolol, Nadolol, Propranolol, Timolol

35
Q

First choice for preventions of EXERTIONAL and UNSTABLE angina

A

Beta blockers

36
Q

Beta blocker effect on myocardial oxygen consumption?

A

Decreases it by increasing diastolic perfusion time

37
Q

Beta blocker adverse effects

A

bradycardia, AV block, bronchospasm, peripheral constriction, worsening of acute heart failure, depression

38
Q

Extra Info: Polymorphic CYP2D6 Metabolism (Metoprolol)

A

Additional Vasodilation (Carvedilol,nebivolol)

39
Q

Treatment of Stable Ischemic Heart Disease

A

1) Sublingual Nitroglycerin for immediate relief
2) Beta blocker (If vasospastic dont give)
3) CCB or Long acting Nitrate (IF 1 & 2 inadequate)
4) Ranolazine (If 3 inadequate)

40
Q

Function of Ranolazine

A

reduced intracellular [Ca2+] reducing cardiac contraction and work

41
Q

what can be used as a substitute for beta blockers for patients with contraindication?

A

Ranolazine

42
Q

Non-dihydropyridines

A

Verapamil, Diltiazem

43
Q

Suffix “-pine”

A

CCB

44
Q

What do Calcium Channel Blockers work on?

A

SA and AV node, cardiac myocytes, coronary arteries and peripheral arterioles

45
Q

What type of channels do CCBs block?

A

L-Type (long living)

46
Q
A
