Cardiovascular Drugs Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards
Flashcard 161: Drug of choice for ventricular tachycardia in a patient with myocardial ischemia is:
Answer: Lignocaine
Flashcard 162: Drug of choice for cardiogenic shock -
Answer: Norepinephrine
Flashcard 163: Drug of choice for torsades de pointes?
Answer: Magnesium sulfate
Flashcard 164: Drug of choice for acute PSVT
Answer: Adenosine
Flashcard 165: Drug of choice for ventricular arrhythmias due to myocardial infarction (MI) is:
Answer: Lidocaine (Lignocaine)
Extra: Lidocaine (Class IB antiarrhythmic) is the traditional drug of choice for ventricular arrhythmias occurring in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (MI).
**Mechanism:** Class IB agents like Lidocaine have a high affinity for sodium channels in the **inactivated state**, which is more prevalent in ischemic/depolarized tissue.
**Note:** In modern ACLS guidelines, Amiodarone is the first-line treatment for pulseless VT/VF, but for arrhythmias specifically induced by acute ischemia, Lidocaine remains a classic and effective choice.
Flashcard 166: Drug of choice for HFrEF (Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction) is
Answer: Sacubitril/Valsartan (ARNI)
Extra: Sacubitril is a neprilysin inhibitor and Valsartan is an ARB. This combination (ARNI) is now a first-line treatment for HFrEF (Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction), often preferred over ACE inhibitors or ARBs. isolated Right Heart Failure management primarily focuses on treating the underlying cause (e.g., pulmonary hypertension or left-sided failure) and volume management.
Flashcard 167: Drug of choice for classical angina attack -
Answer: Nitroglycerin
Flashcard 168: Drug of choice for managing asthmatic patient with hypertension:
Answer: Calcium channel blockers (CCBs)
Flashcard 169: The drug of choice for type IIa and IIb hyperlipoproteinemias are _______.
Answer: Statins
Flashcard 170: Drug of choice for hypertension with osteoporosis:
Answer: Thiazide diuretics
Extra: Thiazide diuretics (e.g., chlorthalidone, hydrochlorothiazide) are preferred in hypertensive patients with osteoporosis because they decrease urinary calcium excretion by increasing calcium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule, potentially helping to maintain bone mineral density.
