ANTI ANGINA
• DEFINITIONS:The name angina pectoris denotes chest pain caused
by accumulation of metabolites resulting from myocardialm ischemia.
• By far the most common cause of angina is atheromatous obstruction
of the large coronary vessels (coronary artery disease,CAD).
Inadequate blood flow in the presence of CAD results in effort
angina , also known as classic angina . However, transient spasm of
localized portions of these vessels, which is usually associated with
underlying atheromas, can also cause significant myocardial ischemia
and pain (vasospastic or variant angina ).
There are two types of angina that
can attack
• 1. stable angina
• 2. unstable angina
• Stable angina is caused by certain triggers such as strenuous exercise,
stress, digestive problems,or other medical conditions that encourage
the heart to work harder. Cold weather can also be one of the triggers
of symptoms of angina.Chest pain will usually improve within 5
minutes after resting or taking medication. Although not dangerous,
stable angina has the potential to cause a heart attack or stroke if not
handled properly.
• Unstable angina represents the chest that was received for no initial
reason and clearly does not improve after taking or consuming the
drug. The pain is longer than angina stable, which is about 30
minutes. This is an emergency and requires immediate medical
attention.
• Symptoms of Angina Pectoris
• 1. Shortness of Breath.
• 2. Feeling sick like symptoms of acid reflux disease (GERD).
• 3. Nausea.
• 4. dizziness
• 5. Easily tired.
• 6. Restless.
• 7. Excessive sweating.
Classification Of Drugs Anti Angina
NITRATES
BETA BLOCKERS
MISCELLANEOUS
ANTI ANGINA
• Mechanism of Actions
• Nitrates
The action of nitrates appears to be mediated indirectly through reduction
of MVO2 secondary to venodilation and arterial-arteriolar dilation, leading
to a reduction in wall stress from reduced ventricular volume and
pressure.
Direct actions on the coronary circulation include dilation of large and
small intramural coronary arteries, collateral dilation, coronary artery
stenosis dilation, abolition of normal tone in narrowed vessels, and relief of
spasm.
Nitroglycer
in
• Pharmacokinetics:High first-pass effect, so sublingual dose is much
smaller than oral ,high lipid solubility ensures rapid absorption
• Toxicity: Orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, headache
• Interactions: Synergistic hypotension with phosphodiesterase type 5
inhibitors (sildenafil, etc)
BETA BLOCKERS
Mechanism of actions:
Nonselective competitive antagonist at β adrenoceptors.
Decreased HR, contractility, and blood pressure reduce MVO2 and
oxygen demand in patients with effort-induced angina.β-Blockers do
not improve oxygen supply and, in certain instances, unopposed α-
adrenergic stimulation may lead to coronary vasoconstriction.
• β-Blockade is effective in chronic exertional angina as monotherapy
and in
• combination with nitrates and/or calcium channel antagonists.

MISCELLANEOUS
• (ranolazine)
• The mechanism of action of ranolazine has not been determined, but it
may be related to reduction in calcium overload in ischemic myocytes
through inhibition of the late sodium current. Its antianginal effects do
not depend on reductions in HR or blood pressure.
Ranolazine is indicated for the treatment of chronic angina.
MISCELLANEOUS
• Ranolazine
• Inhibits late sodium current in heart,also may modify fatty acid
oxidation
• Pharmacokinetics : Oral, duration 6–8 h
• Toxicity: QT interval prolongation, nausea, constipation, dizziness
• Interactions: Inhibitors of CYP3A increase ranolazine concentration
and duration of action
• 500 mg orally twice a day; increase to 1000 mg orally
twice a day as needed
