Question
Answer
All nitrates are known collectively as   Nitrovasodilators  
🗑
All nitrates lead to the formation of what chemical?   Nitric oxide  
🗑
Pharmacological what effect do nitrates have on the body   Venous and arterial dilation: Dilation of veins predominates over that of arteriolar. As a result, a decrease in left and right ventricular EDP(preload) and a smaller decrease in systemic arterial pressure(after load).  
🗑
Venous and arterial dilation causes what in the heart   Decreasing myocardial workload and oxygen demand  
🗑
The realize of NO can cause e activation of what chemical   Cyclic GMP (cGMP)  
🗑
cGMP causes vasodilation by   Decreasing calcium levels in the cell  
🗑
What are are anti-anginals used for   Treatment and prevention if angina pectoris  
🗑
What are some side effects of nitroglycerin   Hypotension, headache,dizziness,tachycardia,flushing  
🗑
How is sublingual nitroglycerin administered   1 tablet every 5 mins until, pain subsides or significant drop in BP. No more than 4-5 tabs if still in pain call i911  
🗑
What is nitric oxide and what is it do   Free radical, inducescoronary vasodilation  
🗑
How do nitrates cause a reduction in venous return (preload)   increasing the venous capacitance causing pooling of blood in peripheral veins in there there by a reduction in venous return and ventricular volume  
🗑
True or false nitrates are better arterial then Venus dilators   False  
🗑
What is the gold standard of acute angina   Sublingual nitroglycerin  
🗑
To decrease the notorious nitrate tolerance, an"on/off strategy of at least ____ -______ nitrate-free interval" is practiced   10-hour  
🗑
Intra-coronary NTG is used to minimize ischemia I do to coronary spasm true or false   True  
🗑
How does NTG relieve angina   It increases oxygen supply to the heart muscle  
🗑
The body relaxes vascular smooth muscle in that in arterial walls by releasing its own supply of   Nitric oxide  
🗑
Nitro paste is administered in what units of measure   Inches  
🗑
IV NTG is stored in class rather than plastic because   NTG is in activated by polyvinylchloride plastic  
🗑
Nitroglycerin would be contraindicated in   Severe hypotension  
🗑
Nitrates cause vasodilation by   Relaxing vascular smooth muscle  
🗑
Overdosage of sodium nitroprusside can result in cyanide poisoning the reversal agent for this Toxicity   Methylene blue  
🗑
The mechanism of nitroglycerin's effect on vascular smooth muscle is   Preventing calcium from initiating actin and myosin and coupling  
🗑
Reducing preload and afterload a reduces angina on by   Decreasing myocardial oxygen demand  
🗑
The usual sub lingual does a nitroglycerin   0.4 mg  
🗑
nitroglycerin sublingual tablets should not be chewed because of reduction in potency caused by   First pass metabolism  
🗑
