Question
Answer
types of angina (not unstable which requires hospitalization)   chronic stable/most common=exertional ----variant/Prinzmetal's = vasospastic/idiosyncrastic  
🗑
what goes wrong in angina   too little 02 supply ---too much 02 demand  
🗑
class of drugs that treat angina   nitrates---beta blockers---calcium channel blockers---stand alone ranolazine  
🗑
what types of angina do nitrates treat   stable and variant treated by this class  
🗑
MOA of nitrates   ECF nitrate ---VSM nitrate ---converted to nitric oxide by sulfonyl group enzymes (which must not be depleted)---NO is a vasoDIL which leads to venous dilation(dec preload)---and---arterial dilation (dec preload, dec coronary vasospasm)  
🗑
nitrates are poster boy for this drug response   tachyphylaxis - sudden, immediate decrease in drug response  
🗑
ADRs nitrates   HA bwo vasodil---ORTHOSTATIC hypoTN---reflex tachy (to compensate for vasodil)---usually concurrent admin of BB or CCB to blunt this effect  
🗑
nitrate patch must be removed for 6-8 hours. why   so we don't deplete the sulfonyl group enzymes which could lead to tolerance to efficacy  
🗑
nitrates CONTRAINDICATED for this class   PDE-5 inhibitors, which are potent vasoDIL = sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil  
🗑
quick-short nitrate   sublingual tab, sublingual spray  
🗑
quick-long nitrate   transmucosal tab  
🗑
slow-long nitrate   patch MUST BE REMOVED 6-8h to preserve sulfonyl groups on enzyme----ointment, ISMN tab  
🗑
quick-long   ISDN = isosorbide DInitrate---sublingual, chewable, tab/cap  
🗑
Beta blockers treat what type of angina   only treat exertional/stable. they have no vasoDIL effects----work to decrease 02 demand bwo ---dec HR, CO & afterload  
🗑
what do we need to watch for with BBs and asthma pts   watch for asthmatic effect if BB is non-selective (propanolol, naldolol, timolol)  
🗑
what type of angina does CCBs treat   both stable/chronic---variant---decreases 02 demands AND vasodilates  
🗑
examples of CCBs   verapamil/diltiazem-----amlodipine & all dipine's in class  
🗑
both CCBs and BBs have similar SEs which are   cardiac effects = dec HR, AV block, dec contractility, dec bp, reflex tachy  
🗑
what is one stand alone drug whose MOA is opposit of digoxin   ranolazine ----MOA is to decrease late Na current, keeping Ca from getting too high in cell---> decreased cardiac work--->improve supply/demand balance  
🗑
ranolazine ADRs   prodysrhythmic/TdeP---dizz/HA/c/n  
🗑
what drug lease likely to need 8 hour free period?   any short acting nitrate (any non-patch, really)  
🗑
what drug least likely to help Prinzmetals/variant angina   BBs because they do not vasodilate  
🗑
what drug least likely to be 1st line drug   ranolazine - prevention, too new with prodysrhythmic ADR  
🗑
standard order of drug admin for angina is nitrate---BB---CCB---long acting nitrate. what if pt is asthmatic?   then we would use CCB as 2nd agent  
🗑
