Lecture review 2 Flashcards

1
Q

Most common cause of ACS?

- one other?

A

By far: atherosclerotic plaque rupture with thrombus

other: cocaine abuse→ ↑s sympathetic tone by blocking NE reuptake + enhance catecholamines → vasospasms and ↓ myocardial O2 supply

A
  1. angina pectoris (most common)
  2. MI
  3. Chronic ischemic HD → congestive HF
  4. sudden cardiac death
21
Q

What is the time frame when an infarcted heart is susceptible to rupture?

A

3-7 days

22

Heparin (UF)
Enoxaparin (LMWH)
Fondaparinux
Lepiruden
Bivaliruden
23
Q

ORAL anticoagulant agents

A

Non-vit K Oral Anticoagulants (NOAC)
Dabigatran
Rivaroxaban

24
Q
  • Parins
  • Oxaban:
  • ruden:
  • grels
A
  • Parins are indirect that act through antithrombin III (ATIII) and inhibit Xa
  • Oxaban: direct Xa inhibitors
  • ruden: direct Thrombin inhibitors
  • grels, you know its an ADP antagonist
25
Q

How do you monitor heparin? LMWH? Warfarin?

A

Heparin: aPTT
LMWH: not needed
Warfarin:

26
Q

Overdose treatment for UFH/LMWH

A

protamine

27
Q

Which one is first order renal elimination kinetics and which one is xero order dose dependent kinetics?

A

LMWH: first order

UFH: zero order (dose dependent)

28
Q

When is NOAC preferred over warfarin?

A

Nonvalvular A Fib

29
Q

Medical treatment to prevent recurrent Ischemic episodes

A
  • Three classes:
    1. Organic nitrates - venodilators (and arterial)
    2. β-adrenergic blockers
    3. Calcium channel blockers

Goal: ↓ cardiac workload, ↑ myocardial perfusion

30
Q

increased LVEDP (choose one) increases/decreases coronary blood flow

A

decreases

31
Q

Which anti-anginal agents increase HR? (bad)

  • BBs
  • Nitrates
  • Nifedipine
  • Verapamil
  • Diltiazem
A
  • Nitrates

- Nifedipine

32
Q

  • Diltiazem
A
  • Nitrates

- Nifedipine

33
Q

Which anti-anginal agents increase LV volume? (bad)

  • BBs
  • Nitrates
  • Nifedipine
  • Verapamil
  • Diltiazem
A

BBs

34
Q

  • Nitrates
  • CCBs
35
Q

antithrombotics

36
Q

  • BBs
  • Nitrates
  • CCBs
  • Antithrombotics
A
  • Nitrates

- CCBs

37
Q

Which nitrate would you use for acute and longer acting angina prevention?

A

Nitroglycerin: acute attacks

*note: - Nitrates are purely for symptomatic relief, not improve survival

38
Q

Will BBs prevent vasospasms? Why/why not?

A

No, bc they are not vasodilators

  • want to use nitrates/CCBs to prevent vasospasms that cut supply
39
Q

Nitrates result in an (choose one) increase/ decrease in LVEDP and systemic vascular resistance

A

decrease

40
Q

Diltiazem

44
Q

CCBs:
Dihydropyridines
- do they act on nodal cells?

A

Nifedipine,
Amlodipine

No, verapamil and diltiazem do

45
Q

CCBs:
Nondyhydropyridines
- do they act on nodal cells?

A

Verapamil
Diltiazem

Yes

46
Q

What happens to myocardial perfusion if you block B2?

A

Like other beta-adrenergic agonists, they cause smooth muscle relaxation

If you block B2, youll block the vasodilatory effect → constrict → increase LV volume → decrease myocardial blood perfusion

47
Q

HTN is the no 1 risk factor for what?

A

HF

48
Q

T/F aspirin reduces CVD events in type II diabetes

T/F raising HDL or lowering TG reduces CVD events

False

False
