nitroglycerin
mechanism of nitroglycerin
1. nitrates activate GC and increase cGMP which activates cGMP kinases, leading to dephosph of myosin light chain and relaxation of contractile apparatus
2.dilate all vessels
effects of nitroglycerin on angina tx

mechanism of beta-adrenergic antagonist
-antagonize the effect of catecholamines on the heart and thereby attenuate the myocardial response to exercise and stress
-decrease heart rate and ventricular contractility (w/ vent wall tension) determininats of myocardial oxygen demand
-dec BP; dec afterload

-**increase exercise tolerance and reduce frequency of angina attacks

-increase in O2 supply to subendocardium of ischemic areas - due to dec in HR, inc diastolic perfusion time

-dec the magnitude of S-T depression during exercise
mechanism of Ca+ channel blockers
produce blockade of L-type (slow) Ca+ channels, which decreases contractile force and O2 requirements
-inhibition of Ca+ entry into arterial smooth m. is assoc. with dec arteriolar tone and systemic vascular resistance (dec arterial and intraventricular pressure)
effect of Ca+ channel blockers
