Study Notes
β-Blockers
- No specific evidence shows superiority among different β-blockers.
- Avoid β-blockers with intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA) as they minimally reduce heart rate and oxygen consumption.
- Contraindicated in Prinzmetal's angina due to blocking β2-mediated coronary dilation, which can trigger increased coronary spasm.
- Mechanism: Decrease contractility, heart rate, and systolic blood pressure, which reduces myocardial work and oxygen demand.
- Increase diastolic coronary filling time and redistribute blood from healthy to ischemic areas.
- Provide cytoprotective effects by switching myocardial metabolism from fat to carbohydrates, improving efficiency.
Combination Therapy
- Combining β-blockers and nitrates enhances efficacy and minimizes side effects:
- Heart Rate: β-blockers decrease; nitrates increase (reflex); combination shows no effect or a decrease.
- Contractility: β-blockers decrease; nitrates increase (reflex); combination shows no effect or a decrease.
- Diastolic Filling Time: β-blockers increase; nitrates decrease; combination shows no effect or an increase.
- Blood Pressure: Both β-blockers and nitrates decrease, but combination leads to greater reduction.
Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs)
- First-line treatment for Prinzmetal’s angina.
- Second-line alternative for chronic stable angina when β-blockers are contraindicated.
- Short-acting dihydropyridines pose risk of acute coronary syndrome and should be avoided.
- Long-acting dihydropyridines (e.g., amlodipine) and non-dihydropyridines (e.g., verapamil, diltiazem) are preferred.
- Amlodipine is especially effective for symptomatic treatment in chronic heart failure patients.
New Treatment Options for Chronic Angina
- pFOX inhibitors (e.g., trimetazidine) partially inhibit fatty acid oxidation to improve myocardial metabolism and reduce oxygen consumption without affecting heart rate or blood flow.
- Potassium channel openers (e.g., nicorandil) induce vasodilation and have a mechanism similar to nitrates with reduced tolerance.
- Ranolazine reduces intracellular sodium, indirectly decreasing calcium entry and myocardial workload, with no significant effect on heart rate or blood pressure.
Antiplatelets and Lowering Drugs
- Consider pharmacological profiles of antiplatelet agents when managing comorbid diseases in angina patients.
Preferred Treatments by Comorbid Disease
- Bronchial Asthma: Nitrates and CCBs preferred over β-blockers.
- Heart Failure: Amlodipine preferred; β-blockers and verapamil less preferred.
- Hypertension: β-blockers and CCBs preferred; nitrates less preferred.
- Diabetes Mellitus: Nitrates and nifedipine preferred; β-blockers and verapamil less preferred.
Management of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
- Symptoms include persistent central chest pain, ST segment changes, and elevated biochemical markers (e.g., troponin).
- All patients should be hospitalized in a specialized coronary care unit.
- Initial treatment within 12 hours typically involves percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to open occluded arteries.
Pharmacologic Therapy for AMI
- Morphine sulfate is used to relieve pain and reduce cardiac workload and stress.
- Oxygen administration is less significant than previously thought for mortality reduction.
- Nitroglycerin is used to limit infarct size.
- Anticoagulants, such as heparin, are essential, particularly for obese patients or those with previous myocardial infarction.
- Thrombolytic therapy (e.g., streptokinase, t-PA) is most effective when administered early.
- Sedatives, like diazepam, may assist in patient comfort.
β-Blockers
- No specific evidence shows superiority among different β-blockers.
- Avoid β-blockers with intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA) as they minimally reduce heart rate and oxygen consumption.
- Contraindicated in Prinzmetal's angina due to blocking β2-mediated coronary dilation, which can trigger increased coronary spasm.
- Mechanism: Decrease contractility, heart rate, and systolic blood pressure, which reduces myocardial work and oxygen demand.
- Increase diastolic coronary filling time and redistribute blood from healthy to ischemic areas.
- Provide cytoprotective effects by switching myocardial metabolism from fat to carbohydrates, improving efficiency.
Combination Therapy
- Combining β-blockers and nitrates enhances efficacy and minimizes side effects:
- Heart Rate: β-blockers decrease; nitrates increase (reflex); combination shows no effect or a decrease.
- Contractility: β-blockers decrease; nitrates increase (reflex); combination shows no effect or a decrease.
- Diastolic Filling Time: β-blockers increase; nitrates decrease; combination shows no effect or an increase.
- Blood Pressure: Both β-blockers and nitrates decrease, but combination leads to greater reduction.
Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs)
- First-line treatment for Prinzmetal’s angina.
- Second-line alternative for chronic stable angina when β-blockers are contraindicated.
- Short-acting dihydropyridines pose risk of acute coronary syndrome and should be avoided.
- Long-acting dihydropyridines (e.g., amlodipine) and non-dihydropyridines (e.g., verapamil, diltiazem) are preferred.
- Amlodipine is especially effective for symptomatic treatment in chronic heart failure patients.
New Treatment Options for Chronic Angina
- pFOX inhibitors (e.g., trimetazidine) partially inhibit fatty acid oxidation to improve myocardial metabolism and reduce oxygen consumption without affecting heart rate or blood flow.
- Potassium channel openers (e.g., nicorandil) induce vasodilation and have a mechanism similar to nitrates with reduced tolerance.
- Ranolazine reduces intracellular sodium, indirectly decreasing calcium entry and myocardial workload, with no significant effect on heart rate or blood pressure.
Antiplatelets and Lowering Drugs
- Consider pharmacological profiles of antiplatelet agents when managing comorbid diseases in angina patients.
Preferred Treatments by Comorbid Disease
- Bronchial Asthma: Nitrates and CCBs preferred over β-blockers.
- Heart Failure: Amlodipine preferred; β-blockers and verapamil less preferred.
- Hypertension: β-blockers and CCBs preferred; nitrates less preferred.
- Diabetes Mellitus: Nitrates and nifedipine preferred; β-blockers and verapamil less preferred.
Management of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
- Symptoms include persistent central chest pain, ST segment changes, and elevated biochemical markers (e.g., troponin).
- All patients should be hospitalized in a specialized coronary care unit.
- Initial treatment within 12 hours typically involves percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to open occluded arteries.
Pharmacologic Therapy for AMI
- Morphine sulfate is used to relieve pain and reduce cardiac workload and stress.
- Oxygen administration is less significant than previously thought for mortality reduction.
- Nitroglycerin is used to limit infarct size.
- Anticoagulants, such as heparin, are essential, particularly for obese patients or those with previous myocardial infarction.
- Thrombolytic therapy (e.g., streptokinase, t-PA) is most effective when administered early.
- Sedatives, like diazepam, may assist in patient comfort.
β-Blockers
- No specific evidence shows superiority among different β-blockers.
- Avoid β-blockers with intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA) as they minimally reduce heart rate and oxygen consumption.
- Contraindicated in Prinzmetal's angina due to blocking β2-mediated coronary dilation, which can trigger increased coronary spasm.
- Mechanism: Decrease contractility, heart rate, and systolic blood pressure, which reduces myocardial work and oxygen demand.
- Increase diastolic coronary filling time and redistribute blood from healthy to ischemic areas.
- Provide cytoprotective effects by switching myocardial metabolism from fat to carbohydrates, improving efficiency.
Combination Therapy
- Combining β-blockers and nitrates enhances efficacy and minimizes side effects:
- Heart Rate: β-blockers decrease; nitrates increase (reflex); combination shows no effect or a decrease.
- Contractility: β-blockers decrease; nitrates increase (reflex); combination shows no effect or a decrease.
