Cards

Term
Problem in ischemic heart disease
Definition
Oxygen demand exceeds the oxygen supply
Term
3 Forms of IHD
Definition
Angina- transient MI
Acute MI- prolonged deprivation of O2 to some of myocardium> irreversible necrosis
Sudden Death> ischemia triggering V-FIB. CO Stops!
Term
3 causes of Ischemia
Definition
Decrease blood flow
Increased Oxygen Demand (exercise, sympathetics, hyperthyroid)
Decreased Oxygenation (anemia)
Term

May radiate to Jaw, neck, shoulders, arms.
Term
What is the pain in Angina pectoris a result of?
Definition
From stimulating nerve fibers by toxins released from damaged tissue or by stretching the coronary vessels as they dilate to increase coronary blood flow.
Term
What is unstable angina generally associated with?
Definition
Rupture of an athersclerotic plaque.

Occur at rest

Do not respond to rest or nitroglycerin
Term
MOA of Organic Nitrate
Definition
Either increase metabolism of or release of NO. This leads to eventual vasodilation
Term
Actions of NO
Definition

Term
4 Actions Resulting from Activation PKG
Definition
1. (+) of MLC Phosphatase> inhibits contraction
2. Block Ca channel on membrane, decreasing Ca entry
3. Activating pumps pumping Ca Out of cell
4. Decreasing Ca release from SR
Term
Possible Effect of Nitrates on K
Definition
May activate K channels causing efflux and hyperpolarization. This leads to relaxation of vessels.
Term
What does low dose nitrate do?
Definition
Low: dilate venous capacitance, increasing venous return and preload, decreasing CO demand. (Check this cuz Katy and I's notes were different)
Term
What does high dose nitrate do?
Definition
Relax arteriolar resistance, decreasing afterload and O2 demand
Term
Other Use of Nitrates
Definition
Raynaud's Phenomenon- vasospastic disorder causing decreased blood flow to extremities
Term
3 Problems with Nitrate Rxs
Definition
1. Tolerance
2. Excess vasodilation with baroreflex causing increased HR and afterload
3. Steal phenomenon
Term
What Syndrome can nitrates exacerbate? What is the hallmark of this?
Definition
Shy-Drager Syndrome
Hallmark: Postural hypotension with total failure of compensatory tachycardia
Term
How is nitroglycerin metaboloized?
Definition
mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase
* 30-50% Asians have inactive form of mALD! shit i better not get IHD!
Term
Which forms of nitroglycerine are more likely to develop tolderance
Definition
oral and transdermal (not sublingual)
Term
When to give IV NTG and what is unique about this process?
Definition
Give in emergency setting, need special tubing so drug doesn't adsorb to tubing.
Term
When to use sublingual NTG?
Oral? Transdermal?
Definition
Sublingual: acute attacks
Orals and transdermal: prophylaxis
Term
2 Nitrate Drugs, Oral only
Definition
Isosorbide Dinitrate
Isosorbide Mononitrate
Term
SE of Nitrates
Definition
Vasodilation, postural hypotension, HA, tachy/palpitations
Term
Rare SE of Organic Nitrates involving Hg
Definition
Methemoglobinemia from nitrate--> nitrite oxidation.
Nitrite oxidize Fe++ to Fe+++, which decreases O2 carrying capacity
Term
How do you treat methemaglobinemia?
Definition
(He said to look it up, this is from Wiki)
Supplemental Oxygen
Methylene Blue: Reduces iron to normal oxygen carrying state
Term
What drug not to use with Nitrates, why?
Definition
Viagra
Inhibits PDE5 which also increases cGMP. This exacerbates nitrates' moa and leads to massive reflex tachy and sudden DEATH!!!!
Term
Other Severe SE of Sildenafil (Viagra)
Definition
Impaire blue/green color discrimination via PDE6 inhibition--> permanent blindness esp in those with DM, HTN, other diseases

NO released can also be antiplatelet acting
Term
What types of Angina do you treat with BBs?
Definition
Exertional (Stable, classic)
Term
Causes of Beta Blockers
Definition
(-) Inotropic and chronotropic
Decreased renin from juxtaglomerular cells
Term
What of BB mechanism decreases preload?
afterload?
Definition
Preload: inhibiting aldosterone
Afterload: inhibiting renin
Term
Problem with Beta Blockers
Definition
Increased LVEDV
Increased Coronary Vascular Resistance
Term
Advantages of BB+Nitrate Combo
Definition
BB: block reflex tachy and (+) inotropic from nitrate
NITRATES: Increased venous capacitance, offsetting the LVEDV from BB
Term
Name the Beta 1 Selective blocker Thingys
Definition
Metoprolol
Atenolol
Term
Which BBs are nonselective?
Definition
Nadolol
Propranolol
Term
What conditions do you want to use caution when using BBs?
Definition
Asthma
Diabetes
Hyperlimidemia
Term
Which class of Ca Channel Blockers does the reflex sympathetics overshadow its (-) inotropic effect?
Definition

Benzothiazepines (diltiazem)
Dhydropyridines (Nifedipine)
Term

Term
Do CCBs decrease preload or afterload?
Definition
Afterload
Term
Uses of CCB
Definition
Angina (sometimes with nitrates to get additive preload decrease)
HTN
Arrhythmias
Term
Which CCB causes most constipation and why?
