Term

What is the treatment for Unstable Angina/Non-ST segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (US/NSTEMI)

 

(it's an acronym)

 

Definition

MONA + GAP-BA

 

Term
What does MONA + GAP-BA stand for?
Definition

M: Morphine

O: Oxygen

N: Nitrates

A: ASA

 

G: GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists

A: Anti-coagulants

P: P2Y12 Inhibitors

B: Beta - blockers

A: ACE-Inhibitors

 

Term
What does morphine do?
Definition

produces arteriolar and venous dilation; prompts a decrease in myocardial O2 demand; pain relief

Term
What do nitrates do?
Definition

Dilates coronary arteries and improves collateral blod flow; decrease cardiact oxygen demand by decreased preload

 

Term
What does ASA do?
Definition
Inhibits platelet aggregation by inhibiting TXA2
Term

Definition

Statment. Not a question.

 

Term
What is the purpose of the IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists?
Definition

Blocks fibrinogen binding to the GPIIb/IIIa receptors on platelets, preventing PLT aggregation

Term
Purpose of the P2Y12 inhibitors?
Definition
inhibitor of the P2Y12 receptor on platelets
Term
purpose of beta-blockers?
Definition
blocks beta receptors on the heart; cardioprotective
Term
Purpose of the ACE-Inhibitors?
Definition

Inhibits angiotensin converting enzyme and blocks the production of angiotensin II; prevents cardiac remodeling; decreased preload and afterload

Statement. Not a question.
Term
What are the medications to avoid in UA/STEMI?
Definition

Discontinue all NSAIDs (including COX-2 inhibitors) due to their risk of mortality, reinin fraction, hypertension, and heart failure in these patients

 

IR form of DHP calcium channel blocker (e.g. nifedipine) should not be used in absence of a beta-blocker

 

IV fibrinolytic therapy is not indicated in patients without acute ST - segment elevation or left bundle branch block

Term
How do GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists work?
Definition

Reversibly blocks platelet aggregation, preventing thrombosis

 

Term
name some GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists
