life threatening: AV block, bradycardia, SJS, hypotension Common: peripheral edema, HA, brady, dizziness
27
This medication can cause drug-induced-lupus like syndrome, contraindicated in those with CAD and peripheral neuritis
hydralizine
28
Patients with a CrCl < 30 should use caution when taking what medication?
Metformin
29
What is the difference between primary and secondary prevention of ASCVD?
Primary prevention refers to the effort to prevent or delay the onset of ASCVD. Secondary prevention refers to the effort to treat known, clinically significant ASCVD, and to prevent or delay the onset of disease manifestations.
30
In secondary prevention of ASCVD, patients should be on a ________ intensity statin. Name them and the doses.
high intensity statin atorvastatin 40 or 80mg rosuvastatin 20 or 40mg
31
What is the DOC for lowering LDL?
Statin
32
You should obtain baseline _______ 6-12 weeks after initation or any dose increase of a statin then annually
LFTs
33
What are two contraindications for statins?
liver disease (alcohol abuse) and pregnancy
34
What is a life threatening sxs of statins? What are some common s/e?
Rhabdo common: arthralgias, photosensitivity, GI upset
35
What are drug eluding stents?
Drug-eluting stents prevent a coronary artery from narrowing again after angioplasty. They are coated with medicine that prevents scar tissue from growing into the artery.
36
What is DAPT? What meds are involved?
dual antiplatelet drug therapy used after a patient gets a stent placed (Clopidogrel (plavix) + ASA)
37
______ should be continued indefinitely in all stented patients
ASA
38
this is the MOA of what drug? Inhibits platelet aggregation
ASA
39
The peak plasma concentration of ASA can occur within 30 min of taking a ________ pill and up to ____ hrs if enteric coated
non-enteric coated 4 hrs
40
When is a 325mg ASA used??
really only used for AMI and acute ischemic stroke. whereas the 81mg is sufficient for daily use
41
ASA interacts with what med? and is contraindicated in patients with what condition?
NSAID, GI bleed
42
This is the only anti angina med class that is proven to improve survival and prevent re-infarction in patients who have had MI
beta blockers
43
This is the first line therapy for acute angina symptoms?
nitrates
44
This med class causes coronary and peripheral vasodilation and reduces contractility
CCB
45
What are two cardioselective beta blockers and why are they recommended?
metoprolol, atenolol- they don't interfere with bronchodilation or peripheral vasodilation
46
How do beta blockers work?
They reduce HR and contractility (also improve survivial in patients with prior MI and those with HFrEF
47
What are three major contraindications to nitrates?
Hypotension, avoid in patients with RV MI (can cause severe hypotension) and patients on PDE-5 inhibitors
48
What nitrate is used for prevention, not acute treatment of angina?
isosorbide mononitrate (used in the prevention of anginal episodes)
49
This is the MOA of what medication? | INcreases coronary artery blood flow by vasodilation, reduces myocardial oxygen demand by decreasing preload
nitrates
50
This is the MOA of what drug?
partial fatty acid oxidation inhibitor- alters myocardial energy metabolism decreasing cardiac workload (different from nitrates but can use as an antianginal to prevent sxs)
51
What is the medication interaction between these two meds? | ASA + plavix
increases risk of adverse bleeding events
52
What is the medication interaction between these two meds? | nitro + bb
additive hypotension
53
What is the medication interaction between these two meds? | nitro + viagra
hypotension
54
What are the ABCDE's of s/p AMI?
``` A- ASA and antiplatelets B- BB and good BP control C- cholesterol lowering agents and reduce smoking D- diet E- exercise ```
55
``` What NYHA class is this? No limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea (shortness of breath). ```
I
56
``` What NYHA class is this? Slight limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea (shortness of breath). ```
II
57
``` What NYHA class is this? Marked limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest. Less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitation, or dyspnea. ```
III
58
``` What NYHA class is this? Unable to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms of heart failure at rest. If any physical activity is undertaken, discomfort increases. ```
IV
59
``` This is the MOA of what class of meds? Inhibit Na and Cl resorption --> profound diuresis from the excretion of urinary Na, Cl and K ```
loop diuretics
60
What is a big s/e of loop diuretics?
hypokalemia
61
In patients in acute fluid overload, what can you do?
give them IV loop diuretics
62
Digoxin is a positive inotrope meaning it does what?
increases contractility aka makes the heart squeeze harder. It is given for symptom control in patients already on appropriate therapy
63
What is an optimal INR for patients on dig?
0.7 to 1.2
64
In this med, you should watch for cardiac arrythmias, visual disturbances (blurred or yellow vision)
dig
65
dig levels can be increased by what med?
amioderone
66
__________ decreases morbidity and mortality in CHF patients
spironolactone
67
what is a s/e of spironolactone?
hyperK
68
What are four meds that adversely affect CHF?
NSAIDs, antiarrythmics, CCB, thiazolidinediones
69
These three meds together can cause what interaction? | lisinopril + KCl + spironolactone
hyperkalemia
70
These three meds together can cause what interaction? | Lisinopril + BB + lasix
hypotension
71
These two meds together can cause what interaction? | ASA + plavix
increased bleeding risk
72
What are some medications that IMPROVE mortality in patients with CHF?
- ACEI - ARB - Apironolactone - Hydralizine + nitrates - BB
