Question
Answer
virshow's triad leads to a thrombus (vessel occlusion)   endothelial injury, hypercoagulability, abnormal blood flow  
🗑
defects in formation of plt plug   von willebrand disease  
🗑
defects in clotting mechanism   hemophilia  
🗑
antiplatelet agents (prevent plt aggregation; prevent plts from forming)   asa, Plavix-clopidogrel, dipyridamole, cilostazol, ticlopidine, prasugrel  
🗑
anticoagulant agents (prevent clots from forming; interfere with clotting cascade)   heparin, warfarin-Coumadin, direct thrombin inhibitors, factor 10a inhibitors  
🗑
fibrinolytics(lyse clots already formed)   tPA  
🗑
blocks GP2b/3a   abciximab, triofiban, eptifibatide  
🗑
endothelial injury causes   damage blood vessel, diabetes, HTN, atherosclerosis; exposes collagen, clotting cascade, vWf occurs  
🗑
hypercoagulability causes   excess clotting factors: post sx, post-partum  
🗑
abnormal blood flow causes   stasis, sluggish blood flow: bedrest, shock, CHF  
🗑
fibrinogen   soluble, attach to GP2a/3b to anchor other plts  
🗑
GP1b   glycoprotein, attach to vWf to allow plt to attach  
🗑
GP2b/3a   glycoprotein, allows plts to anchor to one another with the use of fibrinogen  
🗑
why do plts change shape from round to square?   results in change of shape in GP2a/3b receptor so it can bind to fibrinogen = plt aggregation = formation of plt plug; to adhere (stick) to both GP1b and GP2b/3a  
🗑
von willebrand factor (vWf)   produced by endothelial cells, protein attaches to exposed collagen after blood vessel injury; plt now activated  
🗑
thrombin   potent plt activator  
🗑
fibrin   insoluble  
🗑
activation of plts occurs through?   thromboxane (TXA2) and ADP (breakdown of ATP)  
🗑
Thromboxane (TXA2)   activates plts and GP2a/3b to bind to fibrinogen to allow binding of other plts, potent vasoconstrictor, secreted within plts from arachidonic acid; blocked by ASA and NSAIDS;  
🗑
APD (breakdown of ATP)   secreted from plts, plt activator, inducer of plt aggregation  
🗑
cyclooxygenase inhibitors   irreversibly (ASA) inhibit COX1; cannot make plts b/c COX1 is blocked; blocks the formation of cyclooxygenase pathway which is necessary for plt aggregation  
🗑
COX1   express plts only  
🗑
COX2   express inflammation only  
🗑
Arachidonic acid blocked by what meds?   corticosteroid meds  
🗑
cyclooxygenase pathway is blocked by what meds?   ASA and NSAIDS  
🗑
cyclooxygenase pathway produce what?   thromboxane, prostaglandins  
🗑
ASA   inhibit plt aggregation (COX1), anti-inflammatory (COX2), used for MI, stroke, atherosclerosis, given at low dose 81 mg; irreversible, antipyretic  
🗑
selective COX2 inhibitors   anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic; no plt effect b/c it does not block COX1; meds: celecoxib, meloxicam  
🗑
phosphodiesterase inhibitors (antiplatelet agents)   phosphodiesterase is a enzyme that breaks down cAMP which causes it to cAMP to rise = increase cellular cAMP = decreased plt agg. dipyridamole (older), cilostazol (newer), viagra (vasodilator)  
🗑
dipyridamole (older) phosphodiesterase inhibitors (antiplatelet agents),   vasodilator can induce coronary steal, used in combo w/ASA 25mg for CV ischemia or warfarin, weak effects if used alone  
🗑
ADP-Receptor inhibitors (antiplatelet agents)   clopidogrel (Plavix), ticlopidine, prasugrel; inhibit ADP-pathway of plt activation& agg, competitive inhibitors, irreversible, prodrug that form covalent (it sticks and stays = irreversible)S-S bonds with the receptor ADP  
🗑
ADP decrease cAMP causing what?   energy to stimulate plt aggregation and activate plts  
🗑
Ticlopidine ADP-Receptor inhibitors antiplatelet agents)   irreversible, N/V/D, hemorrhage, leukopenia  
🗑
Clopidogrel (Plavix) ADP-Receptor inhibitors (antiplatelet agents)   Drawbacks: irreversible, prodrug (requires 2 activation reactions-2 liver conversions), slow onset which it takes a while to get to active compound  
🗑
Prasugrel ADP-Receptor inhibitors (antiplatelet agents)   irreversible, rapid (1 step activation-advantage), potent/consistent blockade of ADP receptor than clopidogrel, better therapeutic effect  
🗑
Ticagrelor ADP-Receptor inhibitors (antiplatelet agents)   reversible = less unwanted bleeding, PO, given in active form, no activation, more consistent response, faster onset, no liver conversion (CYP metabolism)  
🗑
GP2a/3b inhibitors (antiplatelet agents)   eptifibatide, abciximab, tirofiban; given IV only-cons and pros-can regulate dose given; great potency = increase risk of bleeding, increase side effects; all work at the last step of pathway = plts will not stick at all; used for: unstable angina, PCI  
🗑
Eptifibatide GP2a/3b inhibitors (antiplatelet agents)   fibrinogen analog, highly efficacious inhibitor of plt aggregation, blocks binding of fibrinogen to receptor  
🗑
Abciximab GP2a/3b inhibitors (antiplatelet agents)   monoclonal AB against GP2a/3b; irreversible, 18-24 hr dissociation  
🗑
Tirofiban GP2a/3b inhibitors (antiplatelet agents)   tyrosine analog, reversibly antagonizes binding of plts to fibrinogen  
🗑
If thromboxane is blocked how are plts activated?   ADP will activate plts  
🗑
If ADP is blocked how are the plts activated?   thromboxane will activate plts  
🗑
If GP2a/3b is blocked what happens to plts?   no plt aggregation  
🗑
True/False Thromboxane is the primary plt-activating agent produced by plts   True  
🗑

To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
