Alpha Receptors Epi > NE (no isopreternol). Vasoconstriction, Mydriasis, Splenic Contraction. Gq --> PL-C --> DAG + IP3. DAG--> PKC + MAPK (Vasoconstrict, ^BP). IP3 --> Ca from SR (^ Cardiocontractility).

Platelet Aggregation Expose subendothelial Matrix. Thromboxane A2 + ADP recruit + activate platelets to form plug).

Endothelial Cell Drug Targets (ANti-Clotting)
***Aspirin*** (Acetyl Salicyclic Acid) Acetylates serine in COX-1. Irreversible inhibition. (Cannot become TxA2 which normally causes vasoconstriction and platelet agg). Toxicities: GI discomfort, bleeding, antiinflamm, Hypercapnia, Glucose intolerance, poison (reps alk, met acidosis, RD)
***Clopidogrel*** (Plavix) P2Y12 Antagonist. Prodrug (CYP2C19 activates). (Omeprazole is a CYP2C19 inhibitor). Used to prevent occlusion after stunting coronary vessels.
***Prasugrel*** (Effient) P2Y12 antagonist. Prodrug. MOre potent than plavix, more bleeding. Does not use CYP2C19, but DOES use Cyp3A5 + 2B6.
Ticagrelol (Brilanta) Direct (no CYP450) reversible inhibitor of P2Y12
Abciximab, Tirofiban, Eptifibatide, Lamifiban GPIIb/IIIa antagonist (block receptor). Inhibit platelet aggregation BUT risk intrinsic platelet activation & thrmbocytopenia (low platelet count). Used, bu limited.
Anticoagulants (note, different from antiplatet, these are anti-clotting) Normally: tissue injury --> TF expressed, Phospholipid complex forms, Activates thrombin, Fibrin polymerization and clot formation
Pro-coagulation from Thrombin (IIa) ADP, TXA2, Va, VIIa, XIa, TAFI (thrombin-activated thrombolysis inhibitor)
Anti-coagulation from Thrombin (IIa) Prostocyclin, NO, tPA, Protein C+S (activate by IIa will inactivate Va, VIIIa)
Heparin (Anticoagulant) Inactivates ACTIVE clotting factors oof INTRINSIC pathway. WOrks by accelerating ATIII 1000x
HIT Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia: combo of bleeding AND thrombosis (30% mortality): activated platelets, removed by spleen macrophages (thrombocytopenia). Plaetelets also procoaglunant (thrombosis). Treat with thrombin inhibitors.
LMWH (***enoxaprin*** dalteparin, ___parin) Low molecular weight heparin: more predictable effects, can give subQ, more bioavailable, longer half life, less HIT, less osteoporosis. does NOT inhibit IIa.
Thrombin Inhibitors (***Hirudin (leech derivative), Lepirudin, Argatroban, Bivalirdivin, **Rivaroxaban***(oral), ***Apixaban*** (oral) Use for HIT (inactivates soluble and clot-bound IIa. WOrks if ATIII is deficient).
Warfarin Oral anticoag. Inhibits FORMATION of active (acts @ IX, X, II). Prevents gamma carboxylation by inhib. vit K epoxide reductase. Takes ~1 week to kick in (circ clotting factors long 1/2 life). Monitor INR (2-3). CYP2C9. More vit K may lower INR. Teratogen.
Fibrinolysis (tPA, streptokinase, Reteplase, Tenecteplase) tPA from endothelial cells, activates plasmin to degrade clot (more D-dimer in blood). Give for acute MI, thrombotic stroke, arterial thromboses, PE, DVTs, occlude catheters and shunts. Bleeding risk! Streptokinase: risk allergic rxn. Not fibrin-specific
Rose Criteria (is pain cardiac?) 1. Substernal Chest Pain 2. Temporal Relation to Stimulus (Exercise/Stress) 3. Relieved with discontinuation of stimulus 4. Relieved with Nitrates

Angina: General Treatment Strategies 1. Nitrates 2. Calcium Channel BLockers 3. Beta Blockers
Nitrates (Glyceryl Trinitrate/Nitroglycerine) Venous capicitanse (more preload, less O2 demand). Release NO in vasc smooth muscle cells. Kidney excretion. Relzx blood vessel. Dosage! (vein-->arteries). Met by mito lad dehy. NO --> cGMP --> relax smooth muscle
Calcium Channel Blockers ***Verapamil***, ***NIfedipine***, Dilitiazem Inhibit calcium entry. Verapiml + Dilitiazem suppress conduction (@ nodes) so less HR, more vasodilation, less contractility. Nifedipine, Nicardapine, Minodipine do NOT have effect on Conduction (vasodilator, less contractility).
Beta Blockers Less contractility, less renin/angiotensein so lowers BP, anti-arrhythmic, less exercise tachycardia
