Q

Nitroglycerin MoA

A
  • Nitrates converted to nitric oxide (NO) –> vessel relaxation/vasodilation

Q

Beta-blockers MoA/effects

A

block B1 receptors
- decreases cAMP
- no Ca2+ influx
- reduced HR/contractility/oxygen demand

  • also B2 receptors –> broncho/vaso-dilation (increase in oxygen delivery)

16
Q

CCBs MoA

A
  • Ca2+ channels get blocked –> vascular relaxation
  • reduce O2 demand (decrease HR/contractility) & increased O2 delivery
17
Q

CCBs AEs

A
  • Dihydropyridine: peripheral edema as arterioles get dilated
  • Non-Dihydros: AV-block, bradycardia, cardiac failure, constipation
18
Q

calcium channel blockers D-D interactions

A
  • additive effects (increased hypotension)
  • hepatic metabolism interactions (CYP inducers/inhibitors)
19
Q

Sodium channel blocker indication/outcomes

A
  • treatment of chronic angina
  • leads to decreased frequency of anginal episodes and increased exercise tolerance
20
Q

Sodium channel blocker med

A
  • ranolazine
    **contraindicated in hepatic cirrhosis, pre-existing prolonged QT interval
21
Q

sodium channel blocker MoA

A
  • blocks sodium influx into cell
  • less contractility, vasoconstriction, SA pacemaker rate/AV conduction velocity
  • overall decreased O2 demand
22
Q

Ranolazine D-D interactions

A
  • CYP3A4 inducers/inhibitors (ex. rifampin, ketocanazole)
  • interaction w/ p-glycoprotein inhibitors/some -statins/SSRIs/antibiotics
  • all either increase ranolazine concentration in body or lead to QT prolongation –> cardiac dysrhythmia, death!
23
Q

A
  • prolonged QT interval
  • N/V, constipation
  • headache/dizziness
24
Q

Morphine MoA/Pharm effect

25
Q

Morphine AEs

A
  • respiratory depression
  • hypotension
  • bradycardia
  • pruritis
  • hypersensitivity
26
Q

  • theoretically increases O2 delivery
  • no mortality reduction
  • caution in COPD
28
Q

Aspirin outcomes in STEMI
