during angina and MI |
|
Definition
- Increases myocardial oxygen supply

Term
Rationale for giving
beta-blocker
during angina and MI |
|
Definition
- Antidysrhythmic
- Antihypertensive
- Reduces afterload to decrease myocardial oxygen consumption
- Decreases infarct size
- Improves survival rates

Rationale for giving
ACE inhibitor
during angina and MI |
|
Definition
- Decreases afterload and therefore myocardial oxygen consumption.

Rationale for giving
Morphine
during angina and MI |
|
Definition
- Reduces preload by venous vasodilation decreasing myocardial consumption
- Relieves pain
- Decreases sympathetic nervous system stimulation
