1
Q

what are the common characteristics of stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD)

A

similar to acute
- chest pain or discomfort: described as squeezing, heavy, crushing, burning (discomfort is unchanged with respiration or position
- pain may radiate to arm, shoulder, neck/jaw, abdomen or back
- dizziness, lightheaded, weakness
- dyspnea
- sweating
- N/V

sxs may be indistinguishable from ACS!!!!

yes - 1st line

40
Q

A

DHP CCB

41
Q

if a patient has SIHD along with LV dysfunction & unable to tolerate beta blocker therapy, what CCB should be used

A

amlodipine preferred

42
Q

what are some contraindications of CCBs

A
  • SBP < 90
  • recent ACS or pulmonary edema

non-DHPs: HF, 2nd or 3rd degree heart block

43
Q

which type of calcium channel blockers can be combined with beta blockers?

A

DHP CCBs

44
Q

the MOA of this class of medications is decreased myocardial O2 demand through relaxation of smooth muscle, venous pooling (decreased preload), arteriolar vasodilation (decreased afterload), relieve coronary vasospasm & redistribute coronary blood flow

A

nitrates

45
Q

what type of nitrate would be used for an acute attack

A

sublingual NTG (e.g. 0.4mg SL spray, 0.3mg SL tab, 0.6mg SL tab) or IV nitro

46
Q

what type of nitrate is used for prophylaxis

A

long acting NTG (e.g. patch, isosorbide mononitrate)

short acting NTG may be used if pt knows a certain activity will precipitate chest pain

47
Q

how is short acting NTG dosed

A

e.g. spray: use 1 or 2 sprays SL q 5 mins and repeat 2 more times. if after three times no relief, seek medical attention

48
Q

how is long acting NTG dosed

A

need to have a nitrate free period of 10/12 hours to prevent nitrate tolerance

49
Q

what are some a/e of nitrates

A
  • hypotension
  • dizziness/flushing
  • h/a
  • nausea
  • heartburn
  • reflex tachycardia
50
Q

what class of drug should be avoided when using nitrates

A

PDE-5 inhibitors (e.g. sildenafil, vardenafil, tadalafil) due to severe hypotension risk!!

51
Q

all patients with IHD should receive this type of therapy, and should be continued lifelong unless the patient has a bleeding risk or active bleeding. this tx decreases platelet adhesion/aggregation

A

antiplatelet therapy

52
Q

this medication is used for tx in SIHD to prevent ACS and death. this specific type of antiplatelet therapy is the DOC unless contraindicated. it is an irreversible inhibitor of COX thus inhibits platelet aggregation. decreases MI and death. a dose of 81mg is used for prevention

A

ASA

53
Q

what are some drug interactions with aspirin

A

other highly protein bound drugs (warfarin, phenytoin)

54
Q

what are some a/e of aspirin

A

GI - N/V, heartburn, ulceration, epigastric pain
Bleeding - impaired clotting for 7-20 days after d/c

rare: leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, rash, hypersensitivity, bronchospasm, anaphylaxis

55
Q

this medication is used for tx in SIHD to prevent ACS and death. specific type of antiplatelet therapy is a platelet ADP-receptor antagonist that inhibits platelet aggregation. it is used as long term anti platelet therapy for patient who are intolerant to ASA. dose is usually 75 mg po daily

A

Thienopyridines (clopidopgrel)

56
Q

what are some a/e of clopidogrel

A
  • GI: N/V, abdominal pain, dyspepsia
  • bleeding
  • headache, dizziness
  • rash (rare)
57
Q

this medication is used for tx in SIHD to prevent ACS and death. this type of medication is beneficial in patients with SIHD along with HTN, DM, LVEF < 40% or CKD to reduce CV events. it is reasonable to consider this med in all patients with SIHD to reduce CV events

MOA: blocks conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, therefore reducing angiotensin II mediated vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion. Blocks degeneration of bradykinin and stimulates synthesis of other vasodilation substances.

A

ACE inhibitors - the “pril’s”

58
Q

what are some contraindications of ACEi?

A
  • pregnancy
  • bilateral renal artery stenosis
  • hx of angiedema with ACEi
59
Q

what should be monitored if starting a patient on ACEi

A
  • BP
  • SCr, urea and K+ should be checked 1-2 weeks after starting on ACEi
60
Q

what are some a/e of ACEi

A
  • hyperkalemia (Monitor)
  • acute renal failure (higher risk if depleted Na+ levels, dehydrated or on high hose of diuretic)
  • DRY COUGH
  • angioedema

rare: neutropenia and agranulocytosis

61
Q

this medication can be used for patients who are intolerant to ACEi

A

ARBS

62
Q

this medication is used for tx in SIHD to prevent ACS and death. this class of medication is used to improve prognosis in patients with SIHD AND LVEF < 40% with or without HF

A

beta blockers

63
Q

what other medications should patients with SIHD receive? (not heart rate/BP related)

A

statins!!

64
Q

this is used for tx in SIHD to prevent ACS and death. this type of intervention refers to percutaneous coronary interventions (PC) or coronary artery bypsdd grafting (CABG), which is beneficial to increase blood flow to the narrow, affected areas.

it is typically reserved for patients with unacceptable angina (e.g. high risk features, persistent sx’s), patients to have a survival benefit from receiving this therapy

A

revascularization therapy

65
Q

during follow up visits, what should the pharmacist assess in patients with SIHD?

A
  • optimal control of risk factors
  • changes in sx’s of angina
  • frequency of use of SL NTG
  • adherence to meds
  • smoking cessation
  • weight
