Myocardial Ischemia Drugs — Clinical Vignettes 2

Pharmacology I · Exam 2 · apply it to a patient

Before you begin

Clinical vignettes that open with a patient rather than a fact. The two topic quizzes on myocardial ischemia test the drugs one at a time; these ask what you would choose, what you would avoid, what you would warn the patient about and what would go wrong if two drugs were combined. The stem always gives you the patient, and the last sentence decides the answer, so read it twice: the same man with angina can need a beta blocker, a calcium channel blocker or a call for emergency help depending on what you are asked. Expect the classic contrasts: beta blocker first line and when it is forbidden (asthma, bradycardia, heart block, decompensated heart failure), the two calcium channel blocker families, nitrates (how to take them, the nitrate-free interval, the phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor danger), variant angina, aspirin first in an acute coronary syndrome, and who is and is not a candidate for a fibrinolytic. No doses are asked. Every option carries its own reason, correct and incorrect alike, and every question cites its slide.
