Chronic stable angina drug therapies
ASA (consistend survival benefit)
-Clopidogrel if ASA intolerant

Beta blocker (consistent survival benefit; consider metoprolol, carvedilol)

Consider adding long acting nitrate, CCB, ACEI (LV dysfunction survival benefit, decreases diabetic comorbidities, consider lisinopril), statins, or SL NTG for acute angina episodes
Current management strategies for ACS
ST Elevation

-Early conservative
Fibrinolytic indications
Primary use in AMI population

Chest pain < 12 hrs

STE in 2 or more continuous leads

New LBBB

Ongoing Sx of AMI for 12-24 hrs w/persistent STE or LBBB if 1◦ PCI unavailable
Fibrinolytic absolute contraindications
Any prior ICH

Known structural cerebral vascular lesion

Ischemic stroke within 3 months, except AIS <3hrs
Suspected aortic dissection

Active bleeding or bleeding diathesis

Intracranial neoplasm

Significant closed-head/facial trauma

Chest pain > 24 hrs
Fibrinolytic relative contraindications
Traumatic/prolonged CPR

<2-4 week internal bleeding

Noncompressible vascular puncture

Active peptic ulcer

Vit. K ant.: higher INR→higher risk of bleeding

Pregnancy

Chest pain > 12 hrs without AMI Sx

Hx of chronic, severe, poorly controlled HTN

SBP>180mm Hg or DBP>110mm Hg on presentation

Hx of prior ischemic stroke > 3 months, dementia, intracranial pathology not covered in contraindications

Directly break down clot bound fibrin
Fibrinolytic names
SK
-Streptokinase

r-PA
-Reteplase

t-PA
-Alteplase
