Q

What is the mechanism of action of nicardipine?

A

By deforming the channel, inhibiting ion-control gating mechanisms, and/or interfering with the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, nicardipine inhibits the influx of extracellular calcium across the myocardial and vascular smooth muscle cell membranes.

The decrease in intracellular calcium inhibits the contractile processes of the myocardial smooth muscle cells, causing dilation of the coronary and systemic arteries, increased oxygen delivery to the myocardial tissue, decreased total peripheral resistance, decreased systemic blood pressure, and decreased afterload.

Anemia

20
Q

What are the components of myocardial oxygen demand?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Tachycardia
  2. Wall tension
  3. Contractility
21
Q

What are the components of Wall Tension?

Study These Flashcards
A

This relationship is similar to the Law of LaPlace, which states that:

Wall tension (T) is proportionate to the pressure (P) times radius (r) for thin-walled spheres or cylinders. Therefore, wall stress is wall tension divided by wall thickness.

The exact equation depends on the cardiac chamber shape, which changes during the cardiac cycle; therefore, a single geometric relationship is sometimes assumed. For this reason, the above relationship is expressed as a proportionality to highlight how pressure, radius and wall thickness contribute to afterload.
