Q

mechanism of primary plug formation

A
  1. plts recon vWF and collagen and are activate
  2. activate plts release ADP, TxA2 and 5HT
  3. these substances activate platelets and activate an integrin (glycoprot IIB-IIIA) on their surface
  4. this integrin binds fibrinogen and fibrin
  5. formation of formalin aggregate

Q

aspirin action

A

blocks covalently (irreversibly) COX-1 (acetylates serine residue near its active site) so can’t produce TxA2

Q

why ASA less effective at higher dose (NSAID dose)

A

Also inhibits prostacyclin prod (prostacyclin is an endogenous anti platelet)

16
Q

diff between inhibitors of ADP pathway and ASA

A

they have no effect on PG metabolism

17
Q

2 inhibitors of ADP pathway used and effect

A

clopidogrel, prasugrel. irreversibly block ADP receptor

18
Q

how ADP activates platelets

A

binds two purine receptors. P2Y1 and P2Y12. both must be activated

19
Q

clopidogrel effect

A

irreversibly blocks P2Y12 receptor

20
Q

clopidogrel pharmacokinetics

A

given as prodrug, activated by enzymes in cytochrome P450.

21
Q

why clopidogrel resistance exists

A

genetic variability. some patients have reduced fct variant of CYP2C19 enzyme of the cytochrome P450

22
Q

when clopidogrel used with ASA and when used instead of ASA

A

clopidogrel in stroke

clopidogrel with aspirin in ACS (acute coronary syndrome)

23
Q

prasugrel effect + diff with clopidogrel

A

same effect. P2Y12 blocker irreversibly.

less resistance to it

24
Q

ticagrelor mechanism

A

blocks REVERSIBLY P2Y12

25
Q

ticagrelor when

A

in ACS, to reduce CV death, MI and stroke (better than clopidogrel)

26
Q

glycoprot IIB-IIIA fct

A

receptor fo fibrinogen and vWF

27
Q

glycoprot IIB-IIIA inhibitors: potency and administration

A

best anti plt but replaced by ticagrelor and prasugrel

given by injection

28
Q

abciximab charact and mechanism

A

Fab fragment of humanize monoclonal Ab against the receptor

29
Q

eptifibatide and tirofiban mechanism

A

peptide (2nd is small molecule) blocker of fibrinogen binding site on the receptor

30
Q

major side effect of glycoprot IIB-IIIA inhibitors

A

bleeding and thrombocytopenia

31
Q

arterial vs venous side choice of medication

A

arterial side: anti platelet drug

32
Q

which for stroke

A
anti platelet (clopidogrel)
dabigatran
33
Q

which for DVT

A

UF heparin and then warfarin

LMWH heparin if good kidney function and then warfarin

34
Q

which prevention of cereb or cardiac and ischemia + MI

A

aspirin

35
Q

which to prevent stroke if prosthetic heart valve or mitral stenosis

A

warfarin

36
Q

which to prevent stroke in a fib

A

rivaroxaban

37
Q

which for 6 hours after after acute STEMI

A

alteplase or tenecteplase
