What is angina pectoris??
Types of angina?
Myocardial infarction
Myocardial cell death due to prolonged ischemia
Antianginal Drugs

Principle of action:
• Angina can be viewed as a problem of
  oxygen supply and demand , so these
  drugs will either increase supply of
  oxygen and nutrients of reduce
  myocardial oxygen demand or both.
Supply can be increased by :
1*dilating coronary artery
2*slowing the heart (coronary flow, uniquely
occurs in diastole, which lengthens as heart
rate falls).
Demand can be reduced by :
1*reducing afterload (i.e. reducing peripheral
resistance)
Reducing the work of heart in perfusing the
tissues.
2*reducing preload( i.e. venous filling
pressure ) according to starling's law of the
heart, workload and oxygen demand varies
with stretch of cardiac muscle fibers
3*slowing the heart
Classification:
1- NITRATES:
a)Short acting: glyceryl trinitrate( GTN, nitrogylerine)
b)Long acting : isosorbide dinitrate (if given sublingually its short acting),
isosorbide mononitrate,erythrityl tetranitrate, pentaerythritol tertanitrate.
2- B BLOCKERS: propranolol, metoprolol, atenolol , carvidelol and others
3- CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS:
a)Dihydropyridines : nefidepine, nicardepine, felodepine, amlodepine,
nitrendepine, lercanidepine, benidepine.
b)Non dihydropyridines: verapamil, diltiazem
4-POTASSIUM CHANNEL OPENER: nicorandil
5-Antiplatelet Drugs: Aspirin , Warfarin (Coumadin
Clopidogrel
6- OTHERS:
Dipyridamole,trimetazidine,ranolazine,oxyphedrine
1-NITRATES AND NITRITES

Are simple nitric and nitrous acid esters of glycerol

Classification of nitrates:
1.   Rapidly acting nitrates
        * used to terminate acute attack of angina
        * e.g.- Nitroglycerin and Amyl nitrate
        * usually administered sublingually
2.   Long acting nitrates
        * used to prevent an attack of angina
        * e.g. -Erythrytyl tetranitrate, Isosorbide dinitrate,
         Pentaerythrytol tetranitrate
        * administered orally or topically
• The onset of action varies from 1 minute as in
  nitroglycerine to one hour as in isosorbide mononitrate
• Nitroglycerine undergoes significant first pass
  metabolism in the liver so its given sublingually or as
  transdermal patches
• The stability of isosorbide mononitrate against liver
  break down gives it its long duration of action and high
  bioavailability
• Isosorbide dinitrate gives 2 molecules of isosorbide
  mononitrate in the body
Coronary artery dilatation


 Decrease coronary bed
       resistance
      (Relieved coronary
      vasospasm)


Increase coronary blood
          flow


 Increase oxygen supply
Reduction on peripheral
        resistance
(Secondary to dilatation of aorta)



 Decrease blood pressure


    Decrease after load


     Decrease workload


      Decrease oxygen
        consumption
Reduced venous return
(Due to dilatation of the veins)



Decrease left ventricular
       volume


    Decrease preload


   Decrease workload


     Decrease oxygen
       consumption
ADVERSE EFFECT
 1.   Throbbing headache

 2.   Flushing of the face

 3.   Dizziness – especially at the beginning

      of treatment

 4.   Postural Hypotension – due to pooling

      of blood in the dependent portion of the

      body
Tolerance
• Tolerance to the action of nitrates develop rapidly in
  which blood
• vessels will be desensitized to the vasodilatory effect of
  the drug.
• Tolerance can be overcome by a daily nitrate free
  interval which is typically of 8 to 12 hours.
• Nitrate free interval is usually at night as the oxygen
  demand increase
• But in variant angina which worsen during early morning
  due to the circadian catecholamin attack the nitrate free
  interval should be at late afternoon.
Tolerance to the Antianginal and
hemodynamic effects of nitrates develops:

 higher doses

 Drugs have longer half-lives.

 It is common in patients being treated
  with topical, transdermal or continuous i.v.
  infusions
MECHANISM OF ACTION
ROUTES OF ADMINISTRATION



 1. Sublingual route
 2. Oral route
 3. Intravenous Route
 4. Topical route
NITROGYLECERINE

-Prototypical nitrate
-Large first-pass effect with PO forms
-Used for symptomatic treatment of ischemic heart conditions (angina)
-IV form used for
•   BP control in perioperative hypertension.
•   treatment of CHF.
•   ischemic pain.
•   pulmonary edema associated with acute MI.
Drug interaction

 with cGMP-dependent phosphodiesterase
  inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil ).

 The reason for this adverse reaction is that
  nitrodilators stimulate cGMP production and drugs
  like sildenafil inhibit cGMP degradation. When
  combined, these two drug classes greatly
  potentiate cGMP levels, which can lead to
  hypotension and impaired coronary perfusion.
CONTRAINDICATION


1. Renal ischemia
2. Acute myocardial infarction
3. Patients receiving other
   antihypertensive agent
2-B BLOCKERS
 2 types : non selective and cardioselective

metoprolol (Lopressor)
propranolol (Inderal)
nadolol (Corgard)
pharmacokinetics


 B blockers are orally active.

 Propranolol undergoes significant first
  pass metabolism

 They may take several weeks to develop
  full effect

                Decrease heart rate & Contractility




Increase duration of diastole       Decrease workload




Increase coronary blood flow     Decrease O2 consumption




   Increase oxygen supply
Side effects

 Bradycardia
 CNS side effects as fatigue, lethargy,
  insomnia and hallucination.
 Hypotension
 Decrease in libido
 Decreases serum HDL and increases TG
 Withdrawal syndrome : rebound
  hypertension
CONTRAINDICATION

1. Congestive heart failure
2. Asthma and COPD
3. Complete heart block
4. Patients with bradycardia
5.    patients with history of cocaine
     use or in cocaine-induced
     tachycardia or MI.
ATENOLOL (TENORMIN)

Atenolol is a selective β1 receptor antagonist
PHARMAKOKINETICS
 tcmax = 2 to 4 hours after oral
 The mean elimination half-life is 6 hours. However, the
  action of the usual oral dose of 25 to 100 mg lasts
  over a period of 24 hours.
 Atenolol is a hydrophilic drug. The concentration found
  in brain tissue is approximately 15% of the plasma
  concentration only. The drug crosses the placenta barrier
  freely. In the milk of breastfeeding mothers,
  approximately 3 times the plasma concentrations are
  measured.
 Atenolol is almost exclusively eliminated renally and is
  well removable by dialysis. A compromised liver function
  does not lead to higher peak-activity and/or a longer
  half-life with possible accumulation.
Ca - Channel Blockers

a)Dihydropyridines : nefidepine,
 nicardepine, felodepine,
 amlodepine, nitrendepine,
 lercanidepine, benidepine.
b)Non dihydropyridines: verapamil,
 diltiazem
Effects
1. Coronary artery
   dilatation
2. Reduction on peripheral
   arterial resistance –
   decrease after load

Pharmacokinetics:
Calcium channel blockers are well absorbed form GIT and their
bioavailability depends on the extent of first pass metabolism
in the gut wall and liver which varies between the drugs.



Interaction:
- Both diltiazem and verapamil cause increase to exposure to
carbamazepine ,quinidine and metoprolol.

-Verapamil increase plasma concentration of digoxin.
Most commonly used Ca Channel
  Blockers:

verapamil (Calan)
diltiazem (Cardizem)
nifedipine (Procardia
NEFIDEPINE
• Nifedipine, a dihydropyridine
  derivative, functions mainly
  as an arteriolar vasodilator.
  This drug has minimal effect
  on cardiac conduction or
  heart rate.
• Other members of this
  class, amlodipine, nicardipin
  e, and felodipine, have
  similar cardiovascular
  characteristics except for
  amlodipine, which does not
  affect heart rate or cardiac
  output.
• Nifedipine is administered orally,
  usually as extended-release tablets.
• It undergoes hepatic metabolism to
  products that are eliminated in both
  urine and the feces.
• The vasodilation effect of nifedipine
  is useful in the treatment of variant
  angina caused by spontaneous
  coronary spasm.
verapamil

 The diphenylalkylamine
  verapamil slows cardiac
  atrioventricular (AV)
  conduction directly, and
  decreases heart rate,
  contractility, blood
  pressure, and oxygen
  demand.
 Verapamil causes
  greater negative
  inotropic effects than
  nifedipine, but it is a
  weaker vasodilator.
_The drug is extensively metabolized by
the liver; therefore, care must be taken
to adjust the dose in patients with liver
dysfunction.
ADVERSE
EFFECT
Contraindication

 Cardiogenic shock.
 Recent myocardial infarction.
 Heart failure.
 Atrioventricular block.
 in patients with preexisting
  depressed cardiac function or AV
  conduction abnormalities.
In hypotensive patients.
Combination Therapy


 Nitrates and b blockers : to prevent the reflex
  tachycardia produced by nitrates
 Ca channel blockers with b blockers for same
  reason
 Ca channel blockers and Nitrates
Nitrates reduce preload and after load
Ca channels reduces the after load
 Net effect is on reduction of oxygen demand

2- opens ATP dependent potassium channels.
Leading to hyperpolarization and relaxation
of vascular smooth muscle.
 Its given orally as an alternative to nitrates
  incase of tolerance .
 Adverse effect : similar to those of nitrates
  with headache in 35% of patients.

   Warfarin (Coumadin)
Myocardial infarction
Goals of treatment
The most important goal of drug therapy early in the
course of acute myocardial infarction is to improve the
oxygen supply/demand ratio for the heart. The
reduction in this ratio that occurs when coronary flow is
compromised is the primary reason cardiac function is
impaired, which leads to the clinical signs associated
with myocardial infarction. There are two strategies to
improve the coronary supply/demand ratio,
1) restore normal coronary blood flow.
2) decrease myocardial oxygen consumption.
Further treatment is based on the
following:
 Restoration of the balance between the
  oxygen supply and demand to prevent
  further ischemia
 Pain relief
 Prevention and treatment of any
  complications that may arise
Classes of Drugs Used to Treat Myocardial Infarction

1•Vasodilators (dilate arteries and veins)
- nitrodilators
- angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors)
- angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)

2•Cardiac depressant drugs (reduce heart rate and
contractility)
- beta-blockers

3•Antiarrhythmics (if necessary)

4•Anti-thrombotics (prevent thrombus formation)
- anticoagulant
- anti-platelet drugs

5•Thrombolytics (dissolve clots - i.e., "clot busters")
- plasminogen activators

6•Analgesics (reduce pain)
- morphine
ACEI(angiotensin converting enzyme
inhibitors)

Cardiorenal Effects of ACE Inhibitors
 Vasodilation (arterial & venous)
  - reduce arterial & venous pressure
  - reduce ventricular afterload & preload
 Decrease blood volume
  - natriuretic
  - diuretic
 Depress sympathetic activity
 Inhibit cardiac and vascular hypertrophy
Specific Drugs

•   benazepril
•   captopril
•   enalapril
•   fosinopril
•   lisinopril
•   moexipril
•   quinapril
•   ramipril


Note that each of the ACE inhibitors named above end with
"pril."
captopril

 Captopril is a potent,
  competitive inhibitor of
  angiotensin-converting
  enzyme (ACE), the enzyme
  responsible for the
  conversion of angiotensin I
  (ATI) to angiotensin II
  (ATII). ATII regulates blood
  pressure and is a key
  component of the renin-
  angiotensin-aldosterone
  system (RAAS).
Pharmacokinetics
About 70% of orally administered
 captopril is absorbed. Bioavailability
 is reduced by presence of food in
 stomach. It is partly metabolized
 and partly excreted unchanged in
 urine.
Adverse reactions
 CNS: headache, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue,
  weakness, insomnia
 CV: angina pectoris, tachycardia, hypotension
 EENT: sinusitis
 GI: nausea, diarrhea, anorexia
 GU: proteinuria, erectile dysfunction, gynecomastia,
  renal failure
 Hematologic: anemia, agranulocytosis, leukopenia,
  pancytopenia, thrombocytopenia
 Metabolic: hyperkalemia
 Respiratory: cough, asthma, bronchitis, dyspnea,
  eosinophilic pneumonitis
 Skin: rash, angioedema
 Other: altered taste, fever
contraindication

 Hypersensitivity to drug or other ACE inhibitors
 Angioedema (hereditary or
 Idiopathic)
 Pregnancy
Angiotensin receptor blockers
Specific Drugs

•   candesartan
•   eprosartan
•   irbesartan
•   losartan
•   olmesartan
•   telmisartan
•   valsartan

Note that each of the ARBs
named above ends with
"sartan."
Losartan

 Losartan is an oral medication that belongs to a
  class of drugs called angiotensin receptor blockers
  (ARBs)
 Losartan (more specifically, the chemical formed
  when the liver converts the inactive losartan into
  its active form) blocks the angiotensin receptor. By
  blocking the action of angiotensin, losartan relaxes
  muscle cells and dilates blood vessels thereby
  reducing blood pressure.
 Losartan was approved by the FDA in April 1995.
Adverse effect
 CNS: dizziness, insomnia, headache, asthenia, fatigue
 CV: hypotension
 EENT: sinus disorders
 GI: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dyspepsia, abdominal pain
 Metabolic: hyperkalemia
 Musculoskeletal: joint pain, back pain, muscle cramps
 Respiratory: symptoms of upper respiratory infection, dry cough
 Other: hypersensitivity reactions including angioedema



Contraindications
• Hypersensitivity to drug or its components
 INTERACTION
Drug-drug. Diuretics, other antihypertensives: increased
risk of hypotension
Fluconazole: inhibited losartan metabolism, increased
antihypertensive effects
 Indomethacin: decreased losartan effects
 Phenobarbital, rifamycins: enhanced losartan
  metabolism, decreased antihypertensive effects
 Potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium
  supplements: hyperkalemia
Drug-diagnostic tests. Albumin: increased level
Drug-food. Salt substitutes containing
potassium: hyperkalemia
B BLOCKERS IN MI

Beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agents (beta-
blockers) are drugs with multiple actions on the
heart. Blockade of beta-1 receptors results in slowing
of heart rate, reduction in myocardial contractility,
and lowering of systemic blood pressure. In the
context of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which
represents a state of reduced oxygen supply to the
affected portion of the heart, these effects may be
beneficial as they result in reduced myocardial
workload and oxygen demand. Furthermore, beta-
blockers may reduce the risk of ventricular
arrhythmias, which are an important cause of death
following AMI.

    NEFIDEPINE • Nifedipine, adihydropyridine derivative, functions mainly as an arteriolar vasodilator. This drug has minimal effect on cardiac conduction or heart rate. • Other members of this class, amlodipine, nicardipin e, and felodipine, have similar cardiovascular characteristics except for amlodipine, which does not affect heart rate or cardiac output.
  • 37.
    • Nifedipine isadministered orally, usually as extended-release tablets. • It undergoes hepatic metabolism to products that are eliminated in both urine and the feces. • The vasodilation effect of nifedipine is useful in the treatment of variant angina caused by spontaneous coronary spasm.
  • 38.
    verapamil  The diphenylalkylamine verapamil slows cardiac atrioventricular (AV) conduction directly, and decreases heart rate, contractility, blood pressure, and oxygen demand.  Verapamil causes greater negative inotropic effects than nifedipine, but it is a weaker vasodilator.

    Myocardial infarction Goals oftreatment The most important goal of drug therapy early in the course of acute myocardial infarction is to improve the oxygen supply/demand ratio for the heart. The reduction in this ratio that occurs when coronary flow is compromised is the primary reason cardiac function is impaired, which leads to the clinical signs associated with myocardial infarction. There are two strategies to improve the coronary supply/demand ratio, 1) restore normal coronary blood flow. 2) decrease myocardial oxygen consumption.
  • 48.
    Further treatment isbased on the following:  Restoration of the balance between the oxygen supply and demand to prevent further ischemia  Pain relief  Prevention and treatment of any complications that may arise

    B BLOCKERS INMI Beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agents (beta- blockers) are drugs with multiple actions on the heart. Blockade of beta-1 receptors results in slowing of heart rate, reduction in myocardial contractility, and lowering of systemic blood pressure. In the context of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which represents a state of reduced oxygen supply to the affected portion of the heart, these effects may be beneficial as they result in reduced myocardial workload and oxygen demand. Furthermore, beta- blockers may reduce the risk of ventricular arrhythmias, which are an important cause of death following AMI.
