lecture 5 Flashcards
Name antiplatelet drugs
Aspirin
Psy12 inhibitors
GPIIBIIIA inhibitors
Aspirin dose when pt presents to hospital
162-325 mg upon presentation and 81 mg indefinitely
name P2y12 inhibitor drugs
Clopidogrel, ticagrelor, prasgurel (cangrelor is an IV option)
how long is DAPT recommended for in STEMI or NSTEMI/UA patients
12 months
How fast does cangrelor IV work
2 mins
WHen to use cangrelor
Use during PCI when patient did not receive loading dose p2y12 inhibitor
Clopidogrel generic
plavix
clopidogrel loading and maintenance dose
loading- 300-600 mg
maintenance- 75 mg daily
Ticagrelor generic
Brilinta
Ticagrelor loading and maintenance dose
loading- 180 mg
Maintenance- 90 mg BID
Prasgurel generic
Effient
Prasgurel loading and maintenance dose
loading- 60 mg
maintenance- 10 mg
cangrelor loading and maintenance dose
loading- 30 mcg/kg, followed by
4 mcg/kg/min x 2 hours
maintenance- use an oral agent
preferred loading dose of clopidogrel
600 mg loading dose preferred because it results in greater, more rapid and more reliable platelet inhibition compared to 300 mg
600 mg loading dose of clopidogrel preferred except
when using fibrinolytic
times when clopidogrel is not given at 600 mg
fibrinolytic+age>75= no loading dose
fibrinolytic+age<or = 75 =300 mg loading dose
which psy12 is a prodrug? what is it metabolized by?
clopidogrel. metabolized by CYP2C19
(prasgurel is also a prodrug)
which has greater pletelet aggregtion inhibition ticagrelor or clopidogrel
Ticagrelor
Considerations when taking tidagrelor
Max dose of Aspirin is 81 mg.
Side effects of ticagrelor
Dyspnea and ventricular pauses
prasgurel is not recommended in patients that are
> 75 yo, <60 kg or high bleeding risk
reason to switch from clopidogrel to ticagrelor or prasgurel
Inadequate response (genetics/CV event)
Reason to switch from ticagrelor to clopidogrel
Bleeding, cost, dyspnea, adherence
Reason to switch from prasgurel to clopidogrel
Bleeding, cost, stroke
What are the two procedures that are possible in NSTEMI/UA
Ischemia guided therapy
Early invasive strategy (PCI)
What drugs are preferred for ischemia guided therapy in NSTEMI/UA
CLopidogrel or ticagrelor
what drugs are preferred for PCI in NSTEMI/UA
Ticagrelor/prasgurel
WHat are the two possible procedures for STEMI
Fibrinolytic
PCI
What drugs are preferred for fibriolytic therapy in STEMI
clopidogrel
What drugs are preferred for PCI therapy in STEMI
ticagrelor or prasgurel
What kin of drugs are released from drug eluting stents
Anti rejection drugs
DES (drug eluting stents) may not be preferred in which case
If patient can not tolerate or comply with a prolonged course of DAPT
Why are DES not preferred if patient can not comply with prolonged DAPT
DES are associated with late stent thrombosis as bare metal stents are a big risk early on and not late
duration to take ticagrelor
take 12 hours apartW
when to contact doctor for ticagrelor
If increased SOB
MInor s and s of bleeding and major s and s of bleeding
minor- nose bleed, gum bleeding
major- blood in urine, cough and stool
Does aspirin need to be held prior to CABG
No
