This document discusses various classes of drugs used in the treatment of angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. It describes the mechanisms of action, effects, uses, and adverse effects of nitrates, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers. Specifically, it notes that nitrates reduce preload and oxygen demand, beta-blockers decrease contractility and heart rate to lower oxygen demand, and calcium channel blockers decrease afterload and coronary spasm to increase oxygen delivery.
Excellent study aid for medical students, nursing students, pharmacy students, and university students. Use as an adjunct with your lectures or primary book!

2. Amyl
Nitrite
Nitroglycerin (duration depends on
administration)
Isosorbide mononitrate (long duration, great
bioavailability)
3. MoA:
denitrated by glutathione releasing free
nitrites which are converted to NO which
increase cGMP dephosphorylation of MLCK
and decrease in [Ca] in cell
Actions
Decrease O2 demand by decreasing preload
(relaxation of large veins - VENODILATOR)
Increase O2 delivery by relieving coronary spasm
Tolerance
appears rapidly but disappears
rapidly too
DO NOT WITHDRAW FROM PTS WHO ARE ON
THEM FOR YEARS
4. Adverse
Reflex tachycardia and postural hypotension with
high doses
Increased cGMP = decreased platelet aggregation
Nitrites = methemoglobin formation
Throbbing HA, dizziness, flushing (prevent with
NSAIDS)
Hypotension w/ sildenafil (viagara)
Contraindicated in hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy (preload is already reduced)
5. Tx
and prevention of acute attack
(sublingual)
Chronic prophylaxis
Relieve pulmonary congestion
Cyanide poisoning (amyl nitrite produces
methemoglobin which complexes with
cyanide)
6. Propranolol;
Metoprolol
MoA: decrease O2 demand by decreasing
contractility and heart rate
Actions
Decrease cardiac O2 demand
Increase myocardial perfusion because of
increased diastolic perfusion time
7. Adverse
Increased EDV increased Ejection time
Withdrawal effects
Interact with calcium channel blockers which act
on the heart or P450 inducers/inhibitors
Uses
Myocardial Infarction
Chronic prophylaxis of exertional angina (not
effective in variant angina)
8. Nifedipine
selectivity for vessels only
Diltiazem
& Nimodipine
& Verapamil
selectivity for heart and vessels
MoA:
Decrease O2 demand by decreasing afterload,
contractility, and heart rate
Increase O2 delivery by relieving coronary spasm
Diltiazem and verapamil: decrease automaticity
vasodilation
9.
Adverse
HA and dizziness
Flushing and peripheral edema
Profound hypotension (coronary steal phenomenon
with nifidepine!), tachycardia
Verapamil = constipation & gingival hyperplasia
Adverse effects with B-blockers
Uses
Good for exertional angina by decreasing O2 demand
Variant angina because they increase myocardial O2
supply
Hypertension
DOC for Raynaud’s Phenomenon
10. Aka
prinzmetal or vasospastic angina is due
to large vessel spasm
Occurs regularly or certain times of the day and
there is pain at rest
11. B-blockers
and nitrates work because Bblockers can prevent reflex tachycardia and
increased tachycardia while the nitrates
prevent increased EDV and ejection time
Nitrates and Ca-channel blockers work
because of similar reasoning

13. HIGHSCORE: Comparisons of High Yield Topics
for the Medical Boards
Description: This book contains over 100
comparisons of some of the most highly
tested diseases and topics on the USMLE
Step 2 CK. The questions on the exam are
much more vague than what you see in the
practice question banks and it is very
difficult to differentiate between two
diseases with similar symptoms. So this book
is designed to help students improve their
score by targeting these types of difficult
questions.
