which HF drugs slow deterioration and prevent remodeling?

A

ACE-I

BB

spironolactone

4
Q

Which HF drugs improve diastolic function?

remove precipitating factors

bed rest (+ anticoags)

elastic stockings

low salt diet

7

ACE-I, ARBs

9
Q

Which drugs decrease mortality in HF?

A

ACE-I

BBs

Hydralazine

vasodilators

10
Q

Do ACE-Is reduce afterload, preload, or both?

A

both

11
Q

Do ACE-Is dilate veins or arteries?

A

both :)

12
Q

Can you give beta blockers in a HF patient who is unstable?

A

no!

13
Q

What HF drugs decrease SVR, increase CO, and relieve symptoms?

A

vasodilators

14
Q

How do you treat acute angina?

A

NTG sublingual

15
Q

Does NTG vasodilate or venodilate?

A

venodilates

16
Q

Does NTG decrease preload or afterload?

A

preload

17
Q

How often can you repeat a dose of NTG?

A

every 3-5 minutes if symptoms haven’t left

18
Q

What is prophylaxis for acute angina?

A

NTG sub-lingual

5 min before activity

19
Q

What drugs prevent acute angina (5)?

A

BBs

Long acting nitrates (isoborbide)

CCBs

Ranolazine

Anti-platelets

20
Q

Which 2 beta blockers are best to give for acute angina prevention?

A

metoprolol

atenolol

21
Q

what do BBs do to the heart?

A

dec HR, contractility, BP

improves exercise tolerance

22
Q

With what dz should you avoid BBs?

A

lung disease

23
Q

do CCBs dilate arteries or veins?

A

arteries (peripheral)

24
Q

do CCBs decrease preload or afterload?

A

afterload

25
Q

Do CCBs decrease mortality after an MI?

A

NO

26
Q

Which CCB type goes well in adjunct with BBs?

A

dihydropuridines

27
Q

Which CCB type goes well in adjunct with nitrates?

A

nondihydropyridines

28
Q

Which type of CCB should you avoid in HF?

A

nondihydropyridines

29

Which nondihydropyridine CCB should you especially avoid with a beta blocker?

What can happen?

A

veramapil

heart block

30
Q

When would you give ranolazine in acute angina?

A

When a pt is nonresponsive to other treatment

31
Q

What is the MOA of ranolazine?

A

decrease sodium –> decreases Ca –> decreases contraction and O2 need

32

A

coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)

38
