| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| First line drug for claudication symptoms in PAD | Cilostazol |
| Second line drug for claudication symptoms in PAD | pentoxifylline |
| MOA for cilostazol | increase cAMP in plateletsm which DECREASE AGGREGATION |
| When in cilostazol contraidicated | heart failure |
| MOA for pentoxifylline | increase in erythrocye flexibility and decrease in fibrinogen (lowers viscosity) |
| Do vasodilators for Raynauds target viens or arteries | ARTERIES! |
| Name four drug classes used in Raynauds | CCB's, ACEI's, A-antagonist, and Vasodilators (nitrates) |
| What is the ultimate cause of pulmonary hypertension | nuerohormonal imbalance |
| `Which hormone is increased and which ones are decreased in pulmonary hypertension | Increase: EndothelinDecrease: NO, protacyclin |
| What is the end result of prolonged pulmonary hypertension | Right sided heart failure |
| Action of endothelin | vasoconstrict, increase cell prolif. |
| In pulmonary hypertension there is an imbalance of Ca+, is there too much or too little, and what does this cause | Too much, causes vasoconstriction/proliferation |
| Does the intima, media, or adeventia of the artery become enlarged? | All of them |
| How many class of pulmonary hypertension? Which is worst | 4, 4 |
| What defines Class 4 pulmonary hypertension | inability to carry out physcial activity w/o symptoms |
| What are the three treatment goals of pulmonary hypertension | prevent thromboembolism (anticogulants) and reduce edema (diuretics) and reduce pulmonary resistence |
| Are vasodilators useful in treating pulonary hypertension | no |
| What are the 4 classes of drugs used to treat pulmonary hypertension | CCB's, endothelin antagonist, PGI2, and PDE-5 inhibitors |
| Which three CCB's are used in Pulmonary hypetension | Nifedipine, amlodipine, and ditalizem |
| Which test is used to see if CCB's will work | vasoreactivity test |
| Epoprostenol | prostacyclin agonist/analogue |
| Treprostinil | prostacyclin agonist/analogue |
| Iloprost | prostacyclin agonist/analogue |
| MOA of prostacyclin agonst/analogue | dilates pulmonary arteries, inhibts aggregation, and antiproliferative |
| jaw pain, thrombocytopenia, and luekocytic classic vasculitis are S/E's of what | epoprostenol |
| Which prostacyclin analogue has poor compliance and is taken through inhlaltion | Iloprost |
| Bosentan | Endothlin receptor antagonist |
| Anbrisentan | Andothelin receptor antagonist |
| S/E's of elevated liver aminotransferases and decrease in hemoglobin/hemocrit with teratorgenic effects | Bosentan |
| Sildenafil | PGE-5 inhibitor, causes increase in cGMP and thus vasodilates |
| First line for Class 4 pulmonary hypetension | Epoprostenol |
| Class 2 pulmonary hypertension drug | sildenafil |
| Class 3 pulmonary hypertension drug | bosentan or sildenafil |
