Fibrinolytics normal use? Used when PCI is not available in time (within 120 minutes of admission)
PCI is generally recommended when? For STEMI (almost always) and can be used for NSTEMI
What is MONA? Morphine, Oxygen, Nitrates, Aspirin
When is oxygen indicated for ACS? O2 sat < 90%
Benefits of nitrates in ACS? ↓ preload/afterload, relieve chest pain
Avoid nitrates when? Right ventricular infarction
Aspirin loading dose for ACS? 162-325mg chewable
Beta blocker timing for ACS? Within 24 hours
Avoid beta blockers in? Decompensated HF, shock, HR <45
ACE inhibitor timing for ACS? Within 24 hours
ACE inhibitor indication(s)? LVEF <40%, HTN, DM, CKD
Plavix loading dose for ACS? 300–600 mg
Boxed warning for Plavix? CYP2C19 poor metabolizers, less effective
Interactions for Plavix? omeprazole, esomeprazole
MOA of plavix? Irreversible P2Y12 inhibition
Prasugrel loading dose? 60mg
Prasugrel maintenance dose? 10mg daily
Prasugrel box warning? Fatal bleeding
Prasugrel should be avoided in what age(s)? >75 years old
CI for prasugrel history of TIA or stroke
Prasugrel use? ACS managed with PCI (dont use in patient who didnt have PCI)
Plavix should be stopped ______ before surgery 5 days
Prasugrel should be stopped _______ before surgery 7 days
Ticagrelor loading dose? 180mg
Ticagrelor maintenance? 90 mg BID × 1 year then 60 mg BID

Boxed warning Brilinta? Bleeding
Aspirin dose with ticagrelor? ≤ 100 mg daily
Ticagrelor contraindication? History intracranial hemorrhage
Ticagrelor side effect? Dyspnea
Ticagrelor MOA Reversible P2Y12 inhibitor
Ticagrelor interaction? Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers (just like ranolizine)
Cangrelor use? PCI patients unable to take oral P2Y12 inhibitors, transition to oral P2Y12 after PCI if possible.
Cangrelor dose? 30 mcg/kg bolus then 4 mcg/kg/min
CI for ALL P2Y12 inhibitors? Active bleeds
Cangrelor duration? 2 hours or duration of PCI
Cangrelor transition? Switch to oral P2Y12 after (usually after PCI)
Which P2Y12 inhibitor is ONLY indicated for patients with ACS managed with PCI? Prasugrel (Effient)
Which drugs are GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors? Eptifibatide (Integrilin) and Tirofiban (Aggrastat)
When are GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors indicated in ACS? Usually just given for patient with PCI, MUST be used with heparin
CI of Eptifibatide (Integrilin)? Thrombocytopenia
Both of the GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors should be avoided when? During active bleed
Eptifibatide loading dose and maintenance dose? LD: 180 mcg/kg bolus ×2 MD: 2 mcg/kg/min infusion
Tirofiban loading and maintenance dose? LD: 25 mcg/kg IV bolus MD: 0.15 mcg/kg/min
Which drugs are fibrinolytics? Alteplase (Activase), Tenecteplase (TNKase), Vorapaxar (Zontivity)

Major risks with alteplase? Bleeding, ICH (CI in patients with history of brain hemorrhage)
Brand name alteplase? Activase
Brand name of tenectaplase TNKase
Which fibrinolytics have boxed warnings for ICH? Alteplase and vorapaxar (tenecteplase does NOT have this box warning)
Duration of P2Y12 therapy after ACS event? At least 12 months
Beta blocker duration after ACS? 3 years (or indefinite if HF)
ACE inhibitor after ACS? Indefinite if LVEF ≤40%
