25
What commonly triggers vasospasm/printzmetal/variant angina
atherosclerotic damage to endothelium
26
What agents are used to increase O2 Supply (general terms/drug classes)
vasodilators (CCBs and nitrodilators) statins antithrombotics (antiplatelets and anticoagulants)
27
What agents are used to decrease O2 demand (general terms/drug classes)
Beta adrenergic antagonists Ca2+ entry blockers Organic nitrates HCN channel inhibitor
28
Treatment Goals for Angina:
Dilate coronary arteries decrease O2 demand decrease preload and afterload
29
MOA for Organic Nitrates:
the nitrates become NO (nitric oxide) | Activation of guanylate cyclase
30
Organic Nitrates: | dilate (arteries or veins?)
VEINS | very very very minor artery dilation...
31
Organic Nitrates: | decrease (preload or afterload)
preload (because they dilate veins)
32
How does NO lead to relaxation/dilation?
NO --> activates soluble GC --> GTP to cGMP --> increase activity of PKG (protein kinase G) --> activates MLCP (myosin light chain phosphotase) --> dephosphorylation of MLC/detachment of myosin from actin
33
NO has short or long half life -- and why?
SHORT(bc high affinity for hemoglobin)
34
what are the nitrate compounds mentioned in lecture?
glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) Isosorbide Mononitrate Isosorbide Dinitrate
35
which nitrate is used strictly for attacks
GTN (glyceryl trinitrate)
36
which nitrate has the shortest half life?
GTN (~ 5 mins)
37
Bioactivation of organic nitrates occurs mainly by ______ in the ______ of target cells
ALDH2; mitochondria
38
why does tolerance occur for organic nitrates?
ALDH2 is needed to convert nitrates to NO --- ALDH2 needs time to regenerate
39
CCBs dilate (arteries or veins)
arteries
40
CCBs have a greater effect on (preload or afterload)
AFTERLOAD (bc does artery dilation)
41
CCBs MOA: Decrease influx of _______ and decrease ________ in nodal cells
Ca2+ (duh...); chronotropy
42
Why does decreasing Ca2+ influx work on causing relaxation? Because normally.... Ca2+ comes in through ____ Ca2+ channels and Ca2+ binds to ________ for its secondary effects and it also binds to _______ on _______ and all this crap leads to contraction
through L-type; binds to Calmodulin (CM) for secondary; binds to troponin on actin
43
Beta Blockers: | Block what?
block epinephrine stimulatin of myocardium
44
Beta blockers _______ inotropic and _____ chronotropic effects
decrease; decrease
45
Beta Blockers _____ heart rate which ______ coronary perfusion
LOWER HR: INCREASE coronary perfusion
46
Beta blockers have negative inotropic and chronotropic effects by block _______ in myocytes and nodal cells (respectively)
block cAMP signaling
47
Coronary perfusion increases with beta blockers because why?
decrease HR = more filling time aka more time in diastole (diastole is only time myocardium can be perfused)
48
Beta Adrenergic Receptors when stimulated in VSM do what? and via what pathway?
cause RELAXATION (relax arteries and bronchioles) pathway: G(alpha)S - cAMP - PKA - inhibit MLCK = relaxation
49
Beta Adrenergic Receptors when stimulated in cardiocytes do what? and via what pathway?
cause contraction! (why we use beta blockers....) | pathway: cAMP - PKA - phosphorylate Ca2+ channels = contraction
50
what are the cardioselective beta blockers
atenolol metoprolol acebutolol
51
what are the non-selective beta blockers
propranolol carvedilol pindolol labetalol
52
which drug classes used for angina can cause reflex tachycardia?
Nitrates and CCBs( mainly DHPs)
53
which CCB is benzothiazopine
diltiazem
54
which CCB is phenylalkylamine
Verapamil
55
how do we compensate for the reflex tachycardia for nitrates and CCBs?
beta blockers
56
beta blockers increase ____load
pre
57
beta blockers increase preload which can be problematic because why?
too much filling can stress the heart tf out
58
how do compensate for beta blockers increasing preload
nitrates!
59
why do nitrates work to compensate for beta blockers increasing preload
nitrates dilate veins aka return reduce venous return and preload!
60
what is the most common combo for angina
nitrates and beta blockers
61
what two drug combos are NEVER used for stable angina due to codepression of pacemaker cells
Verapamil and Beta blockers
62
why is verapamil and beta blockers NOT used together for stable angina
they cause codepression of pacemaker cells
63
step wise process for Angina (what drug combos do we do in what order
1 - always nitrates and beta blockers 2 - CCB + beta blockers OR nitrates + CCBs 3- last line = all 3 (nitrates, CCBs, beta blockers)
64
Side Effects of Beta blockers
- bronchoconstrictor - Bradycardia/AV block - LV dysfunction - minor GI distress
65
Side effects of Nitrates
- Hypotension/Flushing/headaches (v common)
66
Side effects of Diltiazem
All "minor" - hypotension/flushing/HAs - LV dysfunction - Bradycardia/AV block
67
Side effects of DHPs
- Hypotension/Flushing/headaches (v common)
68
Side effects of Verapamil
Lots of GI distress and Bradycardia/AV block - LV dysfuntion (medium) - Hypotension/Flushing/headaches (minor)
69

70
HCN channels are regulated by ______ and are sensitive to _______
cAMP; transmembrane voltage
71
for HCN channels are more open when they are _______
hyperpolarized/negative
72

82
what channel has importance during the ischemia cycle? (Wendt mentioned a "vicious cycle of ischemia")
NCX channel
83
"Vicious" Cycle of Ischemia: Normally the NCX channel ______ Ca2+ but during ischemia Ca2+ ______ instead (this happens because Na+ levels get out of wack)
normally Ca2+ gets kicked out of cell; Ca2+ starts to come in during ischemia to make everything worse..
