Test 1: Wk1: 5 Coagulation and Anticoagulants - Valentovic Flashcards
Anticoagulants (6)
Heparin LMW Heparin Warfarin Argatroban Dabagatran XaInhibitors
Anticoagulants work by
inhibiting fibrin formation
Antiplatelets (5)
Aspirin, Dipyridamole, Clopidogrel, Abciximab & Eptifibatide
Antiplatelets work by
inhibit platelet aggregation
Thrombolytics/ Fibrinolytics (4)

dissolve formed fibrin clots
Heparin Natural Product
Porcine MW 5-30 kDa
Heparin accelerates the reaction of — with —
AT-III (antithrombin 3) with coagulation factors
Heparin — binds AT-III and induces —
irreversibly
conformational change
Heparin binds AT-III — times faster with what coagulation factors
1000x
II, X, XI and XII
Heparin - active coagulation factors bind — to AT-III at the — site. This prevents — generation
irreversibly
Arg-Ser
Fibrin
AT-III is a — substrate
suicide; it binds and doesnt let go
Heparin is an anticoagulant in
vitro
Heparin use in vivo
Tx of Venous Thrombosis
Tx of Pulmonary thromboembolism
Is Heparin approved in pregnant women
yes - it does not cross placenta
Heparin Administration
What administration is contraindicated
SC or IV
IM contraindicated - induce hematoma
how is Heparin montored
aPTT
How much does heparin increase aPTT
1.5 - 2.5 x
Heparin has a lipid clearing effect that
increase lipoprotein lipase activity
What does aPTT asses
intrinsic pathway and factors I, II and X
Heparin Adverse Effects
- bleeding
- Thrombocytopenia Type 1 and 2
Thrombocytopenia Type I
non-immune medicated platelet heparin interaction
Thrombocytopenia Type II
immune mediated; begins 4-10 days after tx
ab form to heparin-platelet factor 4 complex which binds to platelet surface causing aggregation
What should be monitored in long term use of unfractionated heparin
platelet count
Reverse Heparin with
Protamine
plasma or whole blood
Protamine MOA
binds heparin disabling anticoagulant activity
Protamine Allergy
diabetics
Fish allergy
Heparin Contrindications
Bleeding disorder
pre-existing bleeding site
low molecular weight Heparin (3)
Enoxaparin
Dalteparin
Tinzaparin
low molecular weight Heparin weight
4500 daltons
low molecular weight Heparin is too small to do what
simultaneously bind ATIII and thrombin
low molecular weight Heparin MOA
enhance ATIII inactivation of factor Xa
low affinity for thrombin
low molecular weight Heparin uses (4)
prophylaxis
acute venous thrombosis
DVT
Unstable angina or non Q-wave MI
low molecular weight Heparin administration
SC 1/day
low molecular weight Heparin monitoring
anti Xa activity
is low molecular weight Heparin approved in pregnant women
yes
LMW Enoxaparin vs Heparin
longer half life
outptx
lower thrombocytopenia
Predictable
Fondaparinux is a
Synthetic Pentasaccharide
Fondaparinux MOA
Specific for ATIII inactivation of Factor Xa
Fondaparinux adminstration
IV, SC
Fondaparinux uses
Prophylaxis and acute deep vein thrombosis
can Fondaparinux be used in pregnant women
yes
Fondaparinux contraindications
Contraindicated in bleeding or severe renal impairment
Warfarin is an anticoagulant where
only in vivo
Warfarin does not inhibit clotting when directly added to blood
Warfarin MOA
inhibits synthesis of biologically active VitK dependent clotting factors
Warfarin inhibits what enzyme
Vit K epoxide reductase
Vit K is stuck in epoxide form
Warfarin inhibits biologically active factors
II, VII, IX, X
how long for warfarin to work
actively after <24hrs but takes 5-7 days for generation of coagulation factors incapable of binding Calcium
Warfarin administration
oral anticoagulant of choice
Warfarin Uses (3)
Prophylaxis for DVT & pulmonary embolism
Prosthetic Heart valves
Arterial thromboembolism prophylaxis in atrial fibrillation
Warfarin monitoring
INR VALUES Standardization of Prothrombin time
