Peripheral vascular disease therapies Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: Dyslipidemia drugs _____ are the only lipid-lowering drugs consistently proven to reduce risk of atherosclerotic heart disease

Answer: Statins

Flashcard 2: Do ADP receptor inhibitors reduce symptoms of claudication in peripheral artery disease? _____

Answer: No

Flashcard 3: Treatment of acute coronary syndromes often includes an _____ receptor inhibitor such as clopidogrel

Answer: ADP

Flashcard 4: What drug class does cilostazol belong to?_____

Answer: antiplatelet PDE-3 inhibitor

Flashcard 5: In addition to preventing platelet aggregation, cilostazol and dipyridamole also cause vaso-_____

Answer: dilation

Flashcard 6: vardenafil

Answer: PDE5 inhibitor

Extra: erectile dysfunctionpatients taking nitrates (lethal hypotension)inhbit phosphodiesterase 5, resulting in increased cGMP and smooth muscle relaxation in corpus cavernosumheadache, flushing, impaired blue-green color vision, hypotension, dyspepsia

Flashcard 7: sildenafil

Answer: PDE5 inhibitor

Flashcard 8: What is the effect of high-dose Aspirin (salicylates) on oxidative phosphorylation?

Answer: Uncouples oxidative phosphorylation (increases permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane)

Extra: Aspirin (salicylates) in high doses uncouples oxidative phosphorylation, leading to a decreased ATP production and increased heat production (fever). It also contributes to the metabolic acidosis seen in salicylate toxicity.

Flashcard 9: Mechanism of action of Ouabain?

Answer: Inhibits Na+/K+-ATPase by binding to the K+ binding site

Extra: Ouabain is a cardiac glycoside (similar to digoxin) that binds to the extracellular side of the Na+/K+-ATPase pump, competing with Potassium (K+). This leads to increased intracellular Na+, which in turn decreases the activity of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, resulting in increased intracellular Ca2+ and positive inotropy.

Flashcard 10: Ischemic priapism is treated with corporal aspiration, intracavernosal _____, or surgical decompression to prevent ischemia

Answer: phenylephrine
