What is ischemic heart disease
Partial occlusion of coronary artery
Classic angina (angina of effort, stable angina)
Occlusion of coronary arteries resulting from the formation of atherosclerotic plaque
- most common
- symptoms occur during exertion or stress
Variant angina
Episodes of vasoconstriction of coronary arteries
Likely genetic
Symptoms at rest
Much less common than classics angina
Angina
Imbalance between oxygen demand of the heart and oxygen supply via the coronary arteries
At rest oxygen demand=supply of oxygen through partially blocked artery
No symptoms
During exercise/stress
Oxygen demand> supply through partially blocked coronary artery
CHEST PAIN
How reduce oxygen demand
Decrease cardiac work load
How increase oxygen suppl
Increase blood flow through coronary arteries
What are approaches to increase coronary blood flow
Coronary artery bypass grafting
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)
Atherectomy-tip of catheter shears off the plaque
-reoclusion
Stent-expandable tube used as scaffolding to keep vessel open
-drug elating stents (antiproliferative drugs)
Vasodilator
Vasodilator to increase coronary blood flow
Useful in vasospastic (prinzmetal) angina
Relieves coronary spasm, restores blood flow to ischemic area, vasodilator
*spasm of proximal right coronary artery and its treatment with a vasodilator
When are vasodilator not useful in treating angina
Atherosclerotic (classic ) angina
-coronary steal phenomenon-redistribution of blood to non ischemic areas-associated with the dilation of small arterioles (example-potent arteriolar vasodilator, such as DIPYRIDAMOLE)
How reduce myocardial oxygen demand
HR, contractility, preload, afterload
Physic coronary flow
- isovolumetric contraction
- ejection
- diastole
What drugs are used in chronic ischemic heart disease
Nitrates
Calcium channel blockers
Beta blockers
Ranolazine
How is vasculature relaxed
Release of ENDOTHELIUM derived relaxing factor (EDRF) by Ach
Endothelium is necessary
Endogenous NOS makes NO, a vasorelaxing agent …NO and citrulline activate GC to make cGMP
How are nitrates, NO donors
Organiz nitrates cause metabolic activation of NO (do do endothelial cells)
Outside cell then NO into cell
NO activates GC to turn GTP to cGMP In cell
GTP activates protein kinase G->myosin LC dephosphorylation->smooth muscle renalxation
PKG also opens K channels to allow K out and get hyperpolarization and reduced calcium entry
What are the nitrovasodilators
Nitroglycerin
Isosorbide
Isosorbide mononitrate
Pharmacokinetics of nitrovasodilators
Significant first pass metabolism-high nitrate reductase activity in the liver
-nitrate reductase activity in saturable
Bioavailability with oral route is low
Other routes that avoid first pass metabolism are used
Partially denigrated metabolites may still have activity and longer half lives
Isosorbide mononitrate is a poor substrate of nitrate reductase
-characterized by higher bioavailability
MOA nitrates
Unknown enzymatic reaction releases NO (or other active metabolite)
-the role of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ADH2)
Thiopental compounds are needed to release NO from nitrates
Vascular smooth muscle-NO dilate veins and (at much higher concentrations) large arteries
Sensitivity of vasculature to nitrate-induced vasodilationL
Veins>large arteries>small arteries and arterioles
-no “coronary steal” phenomenon
-inhibit platelet aggregation
How do nitrates decrease myocardial oxygen demand
Relaxation of smooth msucle
- dilation of veins major effect)
- increased venous capacitance
- reduced ventricular preload
Dilation of arteries-higher concentrations off nitrates are needed, as compared to venous dilation
- may reduce afterload
- may dilate large pericardial coronary arteries
- there is no substantial increase inc ordinary blood flow into ischemic area in atherosclerotic angina
What turns nitrate into NO
ADH2 thinks
What does NO do
Vascular smooth muscle relaxation
