11. Lalplace Equation Wall stress = Pr/w where: P = pressure r = radius w = wall thickness

14. 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

15. Griffiths, M. J.D. et al. N Engl J Med 2005;353:2683-2695 Regulation of the Relaxation of Vascular Smooth Muscle by Nitric Oxide NITROGLYCERIN

16. USES: Angina pectoris-prophylaxis and treatment Heart failure SIDE EFFECTS: Tolerance Headache Syncope Interaction with sildenafil(Viagra &others)

18. NITROGLYCERIN Direct relaxation of all vascular smooth muscle Venous relaxation with oral or topical use Arteriolar and venous relaxation with IV use

19. 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

21. BETA- ADRENERGIC BLOCKERS Equally Effective for: Hypertension Angina Arrhythmias

22. BETA BLOCKERS METOPROLOL PROPRANOLOL

23. BETA-BLOCKERS for ANGINA Limit heart rate Decrease myocardial contractility Decrease oxygen demand

24. BETA BOCKERS – ADVERSE EFFECTS CNS Cardiovascular Bad dreams Aggravation of severe CHF Depression Aggravation of occlusive arterial disease Slow A-V conduction Pulmonary Bronchospasm in Asthmatics Drug interactions With drugs that impair A-V conduction (digoxin and some calcium channel blockers)

25. CALCIUM CHANNEL ANTAGONISTS FOR ANGINA PECTORIS VerapamilOthers Diltiazem Nifedipine

26. CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS ON THE HEART
