MIDTERM 02 - Drugs for IHD and HF Flashcards
Refers to circulation within the myocardium
Coronary circulation
Arteries that branch from the ascending aorta
Coronary arteries
Veins that drain into the coronary sinus
Cardiac veins
Condition in which there is an inadequate supply of blood and oxygen to a portion of the myocardium
Ischemic heart disease (IHD)
Heart rate is a determinant of oxygen __________
Demand
Myocardial contractility is a determinant of oxygen __________
Demand
Myocardial wall tension/stress is a determinant of oxygen __________
Demand
Inspired level of oxygen is a determinant of oxygen __________
Supply
Pulmonary function is a determinant of oxygen __________
Supply
Hemoglobin concentration and function is a determinant of oxygen __________
Supply
Level of coronary blood flow is a determinant of oxygen __________
Supply
Condition that results to reduced blood flow to the myocardium due to the partial obstruction of coronary arteries
Myocardial ischemia
Refers to chest pain that usually accompanies myocardial ischemia
Angina pectoris
Condition that results to death of myocardial tissue due to complete obstruction of blood flow of coronary arteries
Myocardial infarction (Heart attack)
Treatment for myocardial infarction
Fibrinolytic
An effort-induced/classic angina; caused by transient myocardial ischemia; relieved by rest or NTG (Types of angina)
Stable angina pectoris
Patients have cardiac disease but without the resulting limitations of physical activity (New York Heart Association functional classification)
Class I
Patients have cardiac disease resulting in slight limitation of physical activity (New York Heart Association functional classification)
Class II
Patients have cardiac disease resulting in marked limitation of physical activity (New York Heart Association functional classification)
Class III
Patients have cardiac disease resulting in inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort (New York Heart Association functional classification)
Class IV
Chest discomfort is severe; not relieved by rest or NTG (Types of angina)
Unstable angina
Variant angina; due to vasospasm; relieved by NTG and CCBs (Types of angina)
Prinzmetal’s angina
Causes vasodilation and decreased platelet aggregation; used for stable, unstable, and variant angina (Types of anti-anginal drugs)
Nitrates
A nicotinamide nitrate ester; its MOA is preconditioning by activation of cardiac Katp channels (Examples of nitrates)
Nicorandil
