Q

what are the ways that myocardial oxygen supply can be increased (and so manipulated for pharmacotherapy of ACS)?

Q

what is the most common cause of STEMI and how any patients are seen to have this on an angiogram?

coronary thrombus formation (on atheromatous plaque)90% show evidence of this

Q

what are the most common thrombolysis drugs used today and how do they work?

A

serine proteases. work by converting natural plasminogen into plasmin this breaks down fibrin and fibrinogen

Q

which drugs are used in the treatment of ACS that isn’t STEMI?

A

AspirinTigagrelor (or Clopidogrel)Fondaparinux/LMW heparinIntravenous nitrateAnalgesiaBeta Blockersothers:prasugrelGIIbIIIa receptor blockersStatins

17
Q

what is the action of IV nitrate?

A

vasodilator to improve perfusion of myocardium

18
Q

which analgesics are used in the treatment of NSTEMI and unstable angina

19
Q

what is the action of fondaparinux?

A

reduces vasospasm

20
Q

what is the action of prasugrel?

A

platelet inhibitor

21
Q

what is the action of GIIbIIIa receptor blockers?

A

prevent platelet aggregation and thrombus formation

22
Q

which treatments are used to reduces the risk from NSTEMI?

A

PCI or CABGAspirinClopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor, ticlopidine or cilostazolHeparin (LMWH)FondaparinuxGIIb/IIIa receptor blockersStatinsB blockers

23
Q

what is clopidogrel always used with?

24
Q

what is clopidogrel being replaced by and why?

A

ticagrelor, there is a proportion of the population who do not respond to clopidogrel

25
what is the advantage of prasugrel over clopidogrel?
prasugrel inhibits ADP–induced platelet aggregation more rapidly, more consistently
26
which low molecular weight heparin drugs are used to treat ACS?
EnoxaparinDalteparinTinzeparinFondaparinux
27
what is thrombocytopenia?
low levels of platelets in the bood
28
give an example of a GIIb/IIIa Receptor Blocker?
tirofiban
29
what are the risks with using tirofiban (a GIIb/IIIa Receptor Blocker) with heparin?
-thrombocytopenia-bleeding
30
when are Beta blockers used in the treatment of MI?
1. in the treatment of acute MI2. also in the secondary prevention of acute MI
31
which beta blockers are given immediately after an acute MI?
IV atenolol or metoprolol
32
when are beta blockers given as a preventative measure, and how are they administered?
weeks or months post MI, given orally
33
when are beta blockers contraindicated post-MI?
-if the patient is close to cardiogenic shock-coronary vasospasm-cocaine use
34
what the signs of a patient developing cardiogenic shock?
heart rate >110 beats/minsystolic blood pressure < 120 mmHg(usually age >70 years old)
