  • 3rd side (hint)
Anticoagulant
Heparin
Unfractionated Heparin
Low molecular weight Heparin
Fondaparinux
Warfarin
Used to recover flow
Heparin is used as IV bolus, potentiates antithrombin III, reversed by protamine (acidic, neutralizes heparin) Unfractionated is the least specific. LMWH and Fondaparinus are more specific, for LMWH anti Xa levels are checked.

Warfarin is NOT acute, has half life of 3-5 days and should not be given as loading dose. Reversed by giving vit K.
Thrombolytics
Streptokinase
Alteplase
Reteplase
Tenectaplase
Streptokinas and alteplase are prototypic, all turn plasminogen to plasmin and have a short half life. Absolute contraindication in surgery within 10 days, serious GI bleed in last 3 months, active bleeding, CVA in past 3 months, aortic dissection, acute pericarditis. Relative contraindication with acute HTN, and age over 75.
ADP antagonists
Ticlopidine, clopidogrel, prasugrel
block ADP, by suppressing platelet activation, used to prevent a second MI, benefit to TIA and stroke patients. Used in Angioplasty and coronary stent procedures.
GPIIb/IIIa blocker
abciximab
blocks sruface receptor for cell-cell interaction in platelets. Used mostly in cath labs.
Control of Arrhythmias, Ventricular
Lidocaine and amiodarone are drugs of choice. More so lidocaine
Control of Bradycardia
Muscarinic blocker-atropine IV
Pulmonary Congestion
Furosemide-reduce volume
Morphine-pain and helps with congestion
Aminophylline-PDEi
Low CO/BP, high ventricular pressure-SHOCK
Nitroprusside-vasodilation
DOPamine (B1 inotropic), DOBUTamine (B 1 inotropic some B2), Milrinone (PDEIII inhibitor) for increased CO.
RV failure, low CO and BP
add volume

increase LV force. DOPamine (B1 inotropic), DOBUTamine (B 1 inotropic some B2), Milrinone (PDEIII inhibitor) for increased CO.
Prevent 2nd MI
BB (propranolol, metoprolol-used more, esmolol-acute IV)
aspirin
CCB
ADP antagonist
Angiotensin inhibitor (angiotensin II causes cardiac hypertrophy)
