1
New cards

Which three drugs can you use to treat stable angina pectoris?

Organic nitrates, calcium channel blockers and beta blockers

2
New cards

How do organic nitrates work

A low dose dilates the veins and reduces the venous return to the heart causing a reduced preload and a higher dose dilates arteries as well which decreases vascular resistance. This reduces the afterload

3
New cards

How do calcium channel inhibitors work

works on the SA node to slow down the heart rate and dilates blood vessels to lower blood pressure

4
New cards

How do beta blockers work

  • decrease HR, contractility and conduction

  • kidney: decrease RAAS

  • blood vessels: decreases blood pressure

5
New cards

Which two types of treatment are there for myocardial infarction

  • acute to relief pain and stabalise heart rate

  • post infarction to reduce the risk of another infarction

6
New cards

What is acute treatment of myocardial infarction? (6)

  • Opioids

  • B-blockers

  • organic nitrates

  • aspirin

  • antithrombotic drugs (clopidogrel)

  • statins

7
New cards

What is post treatment of myocardial infarction? (5)

  • aspirin

  • statins

  • ace inhibitors

  • ARB

  • beta blockers
