how long should you fast before getting a lipid panel?
12 hours
how should you take other meds with bile acid binding drugs (resins)?
take other med 1 hr before or 4 hrs after resin (bile acid binding drug).
What is HMG COA?
Statin
how do statins work?
Works directly in the liver to decrease LDL synthesis,therefore decreasing
LDL; may also increase HDL, but has no significant impact 
on triglycerides
What are AEs of statins?
AE: hepatotoxicity,  myopathy (rhabdomyolysis)
What are HDL primarily composed of?
high density lipids are primarily made of protein
What are the different classes of lipid lowering drugs?
bile acid (resins), fibric acid, nicotinic acid, hmg coA , statin combo
What are the three types of angina?
-Stable
-variant
-unstable
What is variant angina?
pain in the chest due to hypercontractility of vascular smooth muscle. Usually occurs with rest.
How do you treat stable angina?
stop activity, smoking cessation, stress reduction, nitrates (short acting and long acting), beta blockers, CCB
What are the three types of angina?
-Stable
-variant
-unstable
What is variant angina?
pain in the chest due to hypercontractility of vascular smooth muscle. Usually occurs with rest.
How do you treat stable angina?
stop activity, smoking cessation, stress reduction, nitrates (short acting and long acting)
What is angina?
ischemic (lack of oxygen). sudden pain underneath the sternum, often radiating
How do you give nitro tabs?
up to 3 tabs under tongue (sublingual) 5 minutes apart
with fibric acid derivatives (gemfibrozly) which drug should you be careful with?
coumadin and Zosin (increase risk for bleeding and myopathy)
What is the difference between angina and MI?
both involves ischemia, but MI has necrosis. Troponins will be elevated if MI.
how many seconds until ischemia?
10
What are treatments for MI?
MONA, thrombolytics, ASA, statins, BB, CCB, ACEs
How do you treat variant angina?
nitro, CCB (NOT BETA blockers)
What are high density lipids primarily composed of?
proteins
What goes into acute mgmt for MI?
control pain
limit damage to myocardium
prevent of treat complications
How do you control the pain in MI?
MONA--Oxygen
• Morphine
–decrease pain + vasodilation = decrease oxygen demand
• Beta blockers
–decrease HR = decrease oxygen demand
• Nitrates
–vasodilation = decrease preload = decrease oxygen demand
and increase oxygen supply
What kind of treatment for MI do you give to help with reperfusion therapy?
–Thrombolytic drugs (clot busters)
–Antiplatelet therapy (ASA)
–angioplasty (PCTA)
–stent placement
–bypass surgery (CABG)
How do you treat MI complications (i.e. cardiogenic shock)?
Cardiogenic shock
–inotropic agents
• Dopamine/Dobutamine increase CO
–vasodilators
• NTG, Nitroprusside increase tissue perfusion & decrease
workload
What is heart failure?
Ventricular dilation which causes Increased SNS response.

Definition: "A complex clinical syndrome in which the heart is incapable of maintaining a cardiac output adequate to accommodate metabolic requirements and the venous return."
How is CHF caused?
loss of functional myocardial cells (MI, hypertension, infections, etc)
How do you manage CHF(tx)?
Diuretics
ACE inhibitors
Beta-blockers (Carvediol & Metropolol)
Digoxin
Aldosterone antagonists
Inotropes & IV Vasodilator
ARBs
What are issues with ACE inhibitors when using them to tx CHF?
Monitor :
Potassium, BUN/Cr
BP
Cough
Pregnancy (fetal injury)
Angioedema
Which dz might you have to worry about in a pt on a heparin drip?
HIT & TTP
chronic pancreatitis leads to what other chronic disease?
diabetes
be sure to monitor ________in pancreatic ca patients when giving them opiods so that they do not become toxic.
albumin
NY heart class I?
no symp
ny heart class II?
slight limit
ny heart class III?

What is an electrolyte issue with ACE?
too much potassium
Preload:
end-diastolic pressure
Afterload:
peripheral vascular resistance
verapamil and cardizem (Diltiazam) work on ...
heart and arts
What does verapamil do to peripheral arterioles?
Blocks peripheral aterioles
= vasodilation = decreased BP
What does verapamil do to coronary arteries?
Blocks coronary arteries
= vasodilation = increase perfusion and O2supply
Digoxin and Cardizem together, you are at risk for?
extreme bradycardia and decreased conduction and contractility
What does verapamil do to the SA node?
Blocks SA node = decreases HR
What does verapamil do to the AV node?
Blocks at AV node = decreased conduction
What does verapamil do to the myocardium?
Blocks myocardium = decreased contractile force
BB:
cardioprotective; decrease HR and contractility, decrease the work of the heart and decreases oxygen demand. Use for MI management, for reflexive tachycardia caused by Nitrates or CCB. Use for stable angina.
CCB
CCB: Majorly decrease contractility and interfere with AV node conduction which decreases HR. Used for vasospasm, HTN. NEVER use with heart failure.
ACE
ACE: Stop Angiotensin 2 from being formed. This lack of Angio 2 will not stimulate aldosterone to increase and cause the body to hold onto water and sodium. Instead; the body will experience some vasodilation and diurese the water and sodium out and keep potassium in. Used for heart failure, MI management, and HTN.
Nitrates
Nitrates: Cause direct and rapid vasodilation. Can also cause a fluid rush into the vessels. In those cases; give a diuretic. If body responds to sudden BP drop by having reflexive tachycardia; give BB to stop that. Use for HTN, chest pain, ischemia (temporary O2 decrease to tissues) and for MI (which has infarction or permanent oxygen decrease to tissues)
