Anticoagulants and Antiplatelet Drugs Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: Conditions aggravating digoxin toxicity: ___kalemia, _calcemia, ___magnesemia

Answer: Hypokalemia, Hypercalcemia, Hypomagnesemia

Flashcard 2: Drug of choice for ventricular premature beats (VPC) due to digitalis toxicity is:

Answer: Lidocaine (Lignocaine)

Extra: Management of Digitalis-induced arrhythmias: - **Lidocaine**: Drug of choice (DOC) for ventricular arrhythmias (e.g., VPCs, Ventricular Tachycardia). - **Phenytoin**: Traditionally considered DOC for digitalis-induced arrhythmias in general, especially supraventricular ones (e.g., Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia with AV block). - **Digoxin-specific antibody fragments (Digibind)**: The definitive antidote for life-threatening digitalis toxicity (e.g., severe hyperkalemia, hemodynamically unstable arrhythmias). - **Potassium**: Administered if hypokalemia is present, but contraindicated if AV block or hyperkalemia is present.

Flashcard 3: Class I_____ antiarrhythmics can cause neurological side effects (e.g. paresthesias, tremor, convulsions)

Answer: B

Flashcard 4: In patients with mechanical heart valves, the target INR for patients on warfarin therapy is _____.

Answer: 2.0–3.0 (Aortic) or 2.5–3.5 (Mitral/High-risk)

Extra: Target INR for mechanical heart valves (AHA/ACC guidelines): - **Mechanical Aortic Valve** (no risk factors): 2.5 (Range 2.0–3.0) - **Mechanical Mitral Valve**: 3.0 (Range 2.5–3.5) - **Mechanical Aortic Valve + Risk factors** (e.g., AFib, previous thromboembolism, LV dysfunction, hypercoagulable state): 3.0 (Range 2.5–3.5)
