Prevents platelet adhesion
|
|
2. ASA inhibits the release of _________from the platelet ?

|
3. Which agent is not an antiplatelet ? Heparin, ASA, Plavix, Reopro
|
Heparin is an anticoagulant (antithrombin)
|
|
4. What is the action of Reopro ?
|
Reopro inhibits IIb IIIa receptors
|
|
5. Is Reopro an antithrombin or an antiplatelet ?
|
antiplatelet
|
|
6. Plavix(clopidogrel) prevents the binding of ______.
|
(ADP)Adenosine diphosphate, a chemical in the body that causes the platelets to clump together and form clots. Clopidogrel prevents binding of ADP to its receptors, thus reducing the chances of blood clots.
|
|
7. Reopro inhibits the _____receptor on the platelets.
|
The GpIIb/IIIa receptor on the surface of the platelets.
|
|
8. How do Ticlid (ticlopidine) and Plavix(clopidogrel) and Effient (Pragusel) act ?
|
8. They turn off receptor sites, act like super ASA.
|
|
9. Vasodialators, name some :
|
Nitro, Nipride
|
|
10. What medication is used as a preload and an afterload reducer ?
|
Nitroglycerine
(standard drip is 50mg/250ml) |

|
Preload at low doses
Afterload and Preload at higher doses |
|
12. The drug of choice for treating Coronary Spasm ?
|
Nitro
|
|
13. Nitrates do what ?
|
more blood flow to cornaries (dialate coronary arteries)
dialate venous system to drecrease preload during MI |
|
14. Nipride does (Nitropursside) what ?
|
lowers BP dialates arteries
Reduces afterload |
|
15. Heparin potentiates (makes it work) the action of :
|
antithrombin
|
|
16. Once activated, antithrombin inactivates ___________ and ________.
|
Thrombin and factor Xa
|
|
17. Angiomax (bilvalirudin) is a direct _______inhibitor.
|
Thrombin
|
|
18. How does heparin prevent clot formation ?
|
a. stops conversion of prothrombin to thrombin
Heparin combines with antithrombin to make it more effective |
|
17. Lovenox impacts what ?
|
Antithrombin and factor Xa
|
|
18. TPA (Tissue Plasminogen Activator) acts by ?
|
Dissolving fibrin
Activates Plasminogen |
|
19. TPA (Tissue Plasminogen activator) and Retavase are classified as?
|

|
|
20. . Fibrinogen is converted to fibrin by the action of :
|
Thrombin
|
|
21. What does an inotrope do ?
|
Works on muscle fibers
A positive inotrope increases force of contraction/muscle function A négative inotrope decreased force of contraction/muscle function |
|
22.Name some positive inotropic drugs ?

|
23. Digoxin affects the heart rate by ?
|
Causing flow between SA node and AV node to slow down
Increases muscle function (positive inotrope) |
|
24. Inotropes do What?
|
increase the force of contraction
muscle fibers snap back harder changing Stroke volume |
|
25. Chronotropes do what ?
|
Cause the heart to beat more times/min increase HR
|
|
26. ACE inhibitors are contraindicated in?
|
Renal Artery Stenosis
