23
Q

Function of calcium channel blockers

A

Block L-type calcium channels to prevent calcium influx into myocytes and smooth muscle lining arteries and arterioles

24
Q

Effect of rate limiting calcium channel blockers

A

Reduce heart rate and myocardial contractility

25
Q

Effect of vasodilating calcium channel blockers

A

Reduce vascular tone, produce vasodilation and reduce afterload

26
Q

Contraindications of calcium channel blockers

A

Post MI

Unstable angina

27
Q

Adverse drug reactions of calcium channel blockers

A

Ankle oedema
Headache
Flushing
Palpitation

28
Q

Example of nitrovasodilators

A

Glyceryl trinitrate (GTN)
Isosorbide mononitrate
Isosorbide dinitrate

29
Q

Function of nitrovasdilators

A

Relax almost all smooth muscle cells via NO and cGMP

30
Q

Effect of nitorvasodilators

A

Reduce afterload and preload
Relieving coronary vasospasm
Redistributing myocardial blood flow to ischaemic areas

31
Q

Adverse drug reactions of nitrates

A

Headache
Hypotension
GTN - syncope

32
Q

Drug for metabolic modulation

A

Trimetazidine

33
Q

Drug for sinus node inhibition

A

Ivabradine

34
Q

Drug for late sodium current inhibition

A

Ranolazine

35
Q

Drug for preconditioning

A

Nicorandil

36
Q

Second line therapy

A

Nicorandil
Ibabradine
Ranolazine

37
Q

Function of nicorandil

A

Activates ATP sensitive potassium channel, the entry of potassium into myocytes inhibits calcium influx and so negative inotropic action

38
Q

Effect of nicorandil

A

Relaxation of vascular smooth muscle and coronary dilation

Decreases preload and afterload

39
Q

Function of ivabradine

A

Inhibits If pacemaker in the sinoatrial node, slows diastolic depolarisation slip of SA-node

40
Q

Effect of ivabradine

A

Reduces heart rate

41
Q

Ivabradine is used in combination with

A

Beta-blockers

42
Q

Function of ranolazine

A

Inhibits sodium inward current in heart muscle in voltage gated channels leading to reduced intracellular calcium levels

43
Q

Effect of ranolazine

A

Reduced tension in the heart wall

44
Q

Aspirin dosage

45
Q

Function of aspirin

A

Inhibits platelet thromboxane production which stimulates platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction

46
Q

Effect of aspirin

A

Stops aggregation of platelets

47
Q

Aspirin is combined with

A

Beta blockers

48
Q

Aspirin and clopidogrel reduce

A

Acute MI and unstable angina mortality, reinfarction

49
Q

Risk of aspirin and clopidogrel

50
Q

Function of clopidogrel

A

Inhibits ADP receptor activated platelet aggregation

51
Q

Effect of clopidogrel

A

Prevents platelet aggregation

52
Q

Examples of cholesterol lowering agents

A

Simvastatin
Pravastatin
Atorvastatin

53
Q

Function of cholesterol lowering agents

A

HMG CoA reductase inhibitors

54
Q

First line therapy

A

Beta blockers

55
Q

Patients with stable angina should be considered for treatment with

A

ACE inhibitor
