What nitrates used for
Definition
Acute Angina
Stable Angina
Variant Angina
Prophylaxis: oral, ointment, or patch
Term
How Nitrates work
Definition
Smooth muscle dilator Veins>Arteries
Dec. ED = Dec O2 demand
NO donor
Term
Examples of Nitrates and how administered
Definition
Nitroglycerin (Sublingual)
Isosorbide mono/dinitrate (Oral)
Term
Adverse of Nitrates
Definition
Reflex Tachycardia = INc. O2 demand
Tolerance-need free period at night w/ Isosorbide
Headache, weakness, hypotension
Term
How do Beta-blockers work
Definition
Block Sympathetic effects on heart
Dec. HR and contractility = Dec. O2 demand
Term
Examples of B-blockers
Definition
Propranolol- nonselective
Metroprolol- B1 selective
Term
Uses of Beta-blockers
Definition

Term
Nitrates and Beta-blockers
Definition
Dec. O2 demand,
Beta-Block stops nitrate's reflex Tachycardia
Term
Beta-blocker and Ca2+ channel blocker
Definition
ONLY Nifedipine
Beta-block blunts reflex tachycardia
(Verap/Dilt riask too much cardiac suppression)
