Stable Angina Drugs Flashcards
What are the drug classes used for stable angina?
Nitrates
CCBs
Beta blockers
- And Ranolazine
What are 3 Nitrates?
Nitroglycerin
Isosorbide Dinitrate
Isosorbide Mononitrate
What are 3 NON-cardioactive CCBs?
- Dihydropyridines
= Amlodipine, Nifedipine, Nicardipine
What are 2 Cardioactive CCBs?
- NON-dihydropyridines
= Verapamil, Diltiazem
What are 4 Beta blockers?
Propranolol
Metoprolol
Atenolol
Nadolol
Stable Angina is the occlusion of coronary arteries due to atherosclerotic plaques (+) by exertion/stress. What is there an imbalance between?
Myocardial O2 demand»_space; supply via coronaries
= Chest pain
Stable Angina is the occlusion of coronary arteries due to atherosclerotic plaques (+) by exertion/stress. What is there an imbalance between?
Myocardial O2 demand»_space; supply via coronaries
= Chest pain
What are the options to increase blood flow through the coronary arteries?
CABG
PCI
Stents
The only treatment approach for stable angina is?
Reduce O2 demand/Cardiac work
The only treatment approach for stable angina is?
Reduce O2 demand/cardiac work
What are the 4 determinants of myocardial O2 demand?
Preload, Afterload, HR and Contractility
– decrease these to decrease O2 demand and imbalance causing chest pain with stable angina
Nitrates have a significant 1st pass effect which means? Which nitrate has slightly higher oral bioavailability?
= LOW oral bioavailability
– Isosorbide Mononitrate has higher oral bioavailability
What do Nitrates increase?
NO (nitric oxide)
Describe on a molecular level, the MOA for Nitrates
- Increase NO and Guanylyl Cyclase
- Increases Protein Kinase G
- Opens K+ channel and causes Smooth m. relaxation
- Hyperpolarization
Overall, Nitrates cause what to occur to result in decreased O2 demand?
- Increase NO
- Venous dilation
- Decreased preload
= Decrease O2 demand
