Q

Patient is a 71 year old male that arrives at the ER via ambulance. He had crushing pain in his chest for 15 minutes that relieved when the EMT administered nitroglycerin. ECG performed in ambulance shows normal sinus rhythm (NSR) with no S or T wave abnormalities. High sensitivity troponin drawn in the ER is 2300ng/L. Patient takes clopidogrel 75mg daily at home for ischemic stroke 3 years ago (took this morning). Which of the following is the best initial antiplatelet recommendation?

a. ASA 325mg x1
b. Clopidogrel 600mg x 1
c. ASA 325mg x 1 and ticagrelor 180mg x 1
d. ASA 325mg x 1 and prasugrel 90mg x 1

A

c. ASA 325mg x 1 and ticagrelor 180mg x 1

(a. needs loading dose of P2Y12, b. needs aspirin, d. prasugrel is CI in ischemic stroke and wrong loading dose)

19
Q

true or false: GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors are usually given before PCI

A

false (given during PCI)

20
Q

what is “bail out” therapy for GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors?

A

use during procedure if a thrombus develops or low blood after stenting (basically if there are thrombus complications during PCI)

21
Q

which GPIIb/IIIa inhibitor is not renally adjusted?

a. abciximab
b. eptifibatide
c. tirofiban

A

a. abciximab

22
Q

gold standard for diagnosis of HIT

A

serotonin release assay (SRA)

23
Q

enoxaparin is eliminated by _______

A

kidneys (accumulates in renal impairment)

24
Q

bivalirudin is not used together with GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors, except in what case?

A

bail out

25
Q

true or false: fondaparinux cannot be used in pts with a history of HIT

A

false

26
Q

true or false: fondaparinux can be used alone for PCI

A

false

27
Q

fondaparinux is CI in CrCl < _____ mL/min

A

< 30

28
Q

dosing for enoxaparin if CrCl < 30

A

1 mg/kg q24h

29
Q

dosing for bivalirudin if CrCl < 30

A

1 mg/kg/hr

30
Q

dosing for bivalirudin if pt is on dialysis

A

0.25 mg/kg/hr

31
Q

for ischemia guided strategy for UA/NSTEMI, which of the following is not used?

a. UFH
b. bivalirudin
c. enoxaparin
d. fondaparinux

A

b. bivalirudin

(a is 48 hours; c and d are for duration of hospital stay/up to 8 days)

32
Q

for early invasive strategy of UA/NSTEMI, which of the following is not ideally used?

a. UFH
b. bivalirudin
c. enoxaparin
d. fondaparinux

A

d. fondaparinux

(the others can be used until PCI, fondaparinux is not ideal, don’t use alone for PCI)

33
Q

for fibrinolytic therapy for STEMI, which of the following is not used?

a. UFH
b. bivalirudin
c. enoxaparin
d. fondaparinux

A

b. bivalirudin

(can be considered for HIT; a is used for 48 hours; c and d for duration of hospital stay up to 8 days)

34
Q

which of the following do we give for pt who is getting a PCI for a STEMI? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY?

a. UFH
b. bivalirudin
c. enoxaparin

A

cold sweat

41
Q

Patient is an 82 year old female that presented with NSTEMI and received a drug-eluting stent (LAD) several hours ago. Temp 37.2, BP is 125/71, HR 67bpm, RR 16, O2 sat 96% on room air. EF = 35%. Patient has no edema in extremities. Patient was on diltiazem 120mg daily prior to admission.

Which of the following would you recommend?
a. Continue diltiazem 120mg daily
