I started a joke, which started the whole world crying, but I didn't see that the joke was on me, oh no. Alfred Nobel
Cardiovascular medications
used in the hospital as well as after hospital discharge. Medications in the hospital setting are used to: Relieve chest pain and anxiety Limit the size of the heart attack Reduce the work of the heart Prevent and treat complications
Antiplatelet drugs
Thrombolytic drugs
Nitrates:
Dilates both the artery and vein which is not sclerotic yet Reduce heart work thru decreasing total peripheral resistance ==== hati-hati pada low BP=== semaput or reflex tachycardia heart work increase
ORGANIC NITRATES
Organic nitrates & nitrites are simple nitric & nitrous esters of glycerol. cause a rapid decrease in myocardial oxygen demand leading to rapid resolution of symptoms. Nitrates are effective for all types of angina. Activation of guanylate cyclase increases cGMP activating a cGMP kinase leading to dephosphorylation of myosin light chains decreasing contractile force.
Requires normal vascular endothelium Diffuses to local vascular smooth muscle
Nitrates:
Intravenous nitroglycerin is recommended for the first 24 to 48 hours after a heart attack in patients with : An acute heart attack complicated by congestive heart failure A large heart attack affecting the front wall of the heart, called an anterior-wall myocardial infarction Persisting insufficient blood flow to heart muscle, as detected by pain and ECG Hypertension or high blood pressure
Medications To Limit The Size Of The Heart Attack: Most heart attacks are caused by a blood clot blocking a coronary artery===use Thrombolytic drugs: = Streptokinase = Anisoylated plasminogen-streptokinase activator complex (antistreplase) = Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA)
If an intravascular thrombus is formed, it is promptly dissolved by a fibrinolytic system If bleeding occurs, there is spontaneous arrest of bleeding from a damaged blood vessel (Haemostasis)
In case of thrombosis:
Arteries: mainly white thrombi (ischemia) Low-pressure veins (particularly if stasis): mainly red thrombi, often with long tails emboli (e.g., in lung)
Fibrinolysis
Achieved through the conversion of inactive plasminogen to active plasmin Plasmin remodels the thrombus and prevents its excessive growth
Via proteolytic digestion of fibrin
Drugs to Be Discussed
Anticoagulant drugs:
Heparin, low molecular weight heparins Oral anticoagulants: warfarin
Fibrinolytic drugs: streptokinase, tissue plasminogen activator Anti-platelet drugs: aspirin, clopidogrel, Abciximab
Despite the differences in composition among commercial preparations, biological activity is similar Doses are expressed in units of activity, USP units
Digoxin
increases the strength of heart muscle contractions and is useful in the treatment of heart failure ----- inotropic action (+) Because digoxin also slows conduction of the heart's electrical impulses, it is also useful in controlling atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and atrial tachycardia -- chronotropic action (+)
