Q

Stable angina treatment pathway (acute and long term)

A

Acute: nitroglycerine

Long term: B-blockers, S.D aspirin and statin.

If inadequate long acting nitrate

if not working add ranolazine if still considered revascularization

21
Q

Unstable angina

A

Emergency so must be in hospital

nitroglycerine: spray, IV then oral and transdermal

Nifedipine

Cardio-selective B1 blocker

Anti thrombin: aspirin and Heparin Iv for 6hrs

Coronary artery reperfusion surgery

22
Q

Variant angina treatment

A

Acute attack: Nitroglycerine

Long term: Long acting nitrate.

if persistent use favorable combination

23
Q

Variant angina contraindicated

A

Non-selective Beta-blockers are contraindicated

24
Q

Acute Myocardial Infarction in emergency

A

In emergency:

O2 supplement,
morphine and diazepam to relive pain,
nitrates and B blockers,
thrombolytic therapy to achieve reperfusion,
Initiate antithrombotic therapy to prevent reformation.

25
Q

Acute myocardial infarction in once patient is in hospital admission

A

Intranasal O2
Opioid analgesic
Aspirin 150 mg swallowed
Multiple lead ST-segment
Frequent measurement of vital sign

26
Q

Critically important secondary prevention efforts MI

A

Prevention of thrombus extension, embolism, venous thrombosis (aspirin 150 mg)

Thrombolysis: FIbrinolytic agents

Anticoagulants: heparin to prevent DVT

Prevention of rehappening: ACE inhibitors

27
Q

Prevention of future attacks MI

A

Platelet inhibitors like aspirin for long term bases
Anticoagulation: enoxaparin
Beta blockers for at least 2 years
Control of hyperlipidemia z

28
Q

How to treat resistant hypertension

A

Diuretic and an ACE inhibitor

In emergency hypertension: IV drugs like Nitroglycerine, Labetalol

29
Q

Drugs for mild hypertension in pregnagncy

A

Betablockers : Labetalol (first line of treatment)

Calcium channel blockers are allowed

Diuretics: only loop diuretics are allowed

30
Q

In heart failure general treatment is

A

ACE-I
Beta blockers
Mineralocorticoid receptor agonist

31
Q

Acute heart failure steps in treatment

A

Oxygen

Iv Diuretics if no symptoms of fluid overload)

IV vasodilators (Nitrates) can be given to reduce LV after load

32
Q

Management of anaphylactic shock

A

Adrenaline is first line intra muscular. If they can’t breath again stab them again.

Careful as excessive doses of adrenaline can cause hypertension and stroke.

Adrenaline inhaled treats airway obstruction

IV adrenaline in presence of hypotension shock or poor initial response

33
Q

Management of cardiogenic shock z

A

Norepinephrine is the first-line vasopressor in all forms of shock with sever hypotension

ADH (vasopressin) for patients with refractory vaso-dilator shock

Dobutamine is preferred over dopamine as it is selective B1 stimulant on heart

34
Q

Myasthenia Gravis diagnosis

A

Edrophonium IV and atropine

If improved muscle strength, then possibly myasthenia gravis

35
Q

Treatment of Myasthenia Gravis

A

Anti-choline esterase like neostigmine or pyridostigmine

Patients usually start with oral pyridostigmine usually isn’t sufficient
If it isnt take prednisolone

If they cause significant side effects, them give immunosuppressants.

36
Q

Drugs contraindicated in Myasthenia gravis

A

Skeletal muscle relaxant
Aminoglycosides
Lithium
Beta blockers (propranalol)
Anti-arrhytmic (like lidocaine)

37
Q

Migraine management in acute episode and prophylaxis

A

Acute episode: Triptans and dihydroergotamine which in sever attacks acts by VC cerebral vessels

In nonspecific treatment, NSIADS and antiemetics for mild attacks

In prophylaxis: beta-blockers, ca channel blockers and anti-convulsant.

39
Q

Macrocytic anemia treatment

A

Cyanocobalamin (intramuscular) and Hydroxocobalamin (intramuscular) used intra muscular because of absorption issues in guts
