FEBRUARY 10,2110 MEDPHARM DRUGS FOR ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE VIGNETTE A 47 yr old man reports a 6 month Hx of chest pressure while playing handball.He describes substernal tightness and left arm numbness only while exerting.The total cholesterol and LDL are elevated. The exercise test is positive.How should the patient’s case be managed? Typical Progression of Coronary Atherosclerosis Abrams, J. N Engl J Med 2005;352:2524-2533 Symptoms of Angina Abrams J. N Engl J Med 2005;352:2524-2533 Classification and Severity of Angina Abrams J. N Engl J Med 2005;352:2524-2533 Lalplace Equation • Wall stress = Pr/w where: P = pressure r = radius w = wall thickness EFFECTS OF NITROGLYCERIN Marked venodilation with sublingual use Decreased ventricular preload Decreased ventricular size Decreased end-diastolic pressure NET EFFECT: Decreased oxygen demand Slight arteriolar dilation with higher doses Regulation of the Relaxation of Vascular Smooth Muscle by Nitric Oxide NITROGLYCERIN Griffiths, M. J.D. et al. N Engl J Med 2005;353:2683-2695 NITROGLYCERIN USES: Angina pectoris-prophylaxis and treatment Heart failure SIDE EFFECTS: Tolerance Headache Syncope Interaction with sildenafil(Viagra &others) NITROGLYCERIN Direct relaxation of all vascular smooth muscle Venous relaxation with oral or topical use Arteriolar and venous relaxation with IV use ISOSORBIDE DINITRATE ACTION Venous relaxation – Long acting USES Oral Angina pectoris – prophylaxis Heart failure-when ACE inhibitors/ARBs contraindicated ADR Headache, Nitrate tolerance Interaction wiih sildenafil Regulation of the Relaxation of Vascular Smooth Muscle by Nitric Oxide NITROGLYCERIN Griffiths, M.
