Cards

Term
Define Hemostasis
Definition
Cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel
Term
Define thrombosis
Definition
pathological formation of a hemostatic plug
Term
Define thrombus
Definition
a blood clot that forms in a vessel and stays there
Term
Define Embolism
Definition
all or part of a thrombus that has become dislodged and moved to a distant site
Term
Define fibrinolysis
Definition
Normal proccess that prevents blood coagulation from excessive growth
Term
Platelet reactions release what factors to stimulate blood coagulation
Definition
ADP, thromboxane A2, serotonin, Ca, and platelet factors
Term
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation begins how?
Definition
the release of tissue factor, VIIa, and Ca.
Term
The intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation begins how?
Definition
With the activation of pro-enzymes XII or XI with thrombin (or glass).
Term
What type of enzyme is anti-thrombin and what does it do?
Definition
It is a serine protease suicide inhibitor of thrombin (IIa), IXa, and Xa. It degrades the clot.
Term
What role does Vit K play in coagulation?
Definition
It is required in its hydroquinone form for the gamma glutyml carboxylase to activate coagulation factors
Term
Name 3 indirect thrombin inhibitors
Definition
UFH, LMWH, and fondaparinux
Term
Name 2 Vit K antagonists
Definition
Warfarin and Coumarin
Term
Name 5 direct thrombin inhibitors
Definition

The -rudin's

Hirudin, Lepirudin, and Bivalrudin and argatroban/dabigatran (pradaxa)

Term
What kind of molecule is heparin and where is it found in the body?
Definition
it is a sulfated mucopolysaccharide that is usually found in the granules of basophils and mast cells.
Term
MOA for UFH?
Definition
binds to anti-thrombin catalyzes the interaction w/ thrombin (IIA), IXa, and Xa.
Term
MOA for LMWH?
Definition
Binds to antithrombin and catalyzes interaction w/ factor Xa.
Term
Name 4 uses for heparin
Definition
treatment of venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, thrmobosis w/ prosthetic heart valves, a fib pts, and MI w/ unstable angina
Term
How do you administer heparin?
Definition
IV, IM, or subQ (for maintenance doses)
Term
Side effects of heparin?
Definition
bleeding #1
allergies due ot animal preparation
Osteoporosis (long term use)
Heparin induced thrombocytopenia - rare caused by Ab's to heparin and factor IV 2-14 days after treatment.
Term
What do you administer in case of Heparin toxicity/overdose?
Definition
protamine. in accordance w/ the dose initially given.
Term
MOA for Rivaroxaban
toxic effects?
Uses?
Definition
Xa inhibitor
Bleeding, Neuraxial anesthesia, Category C.
DVTs following hip/knee surgery
Term
What class of drugs are Lepirudin and Bivalirudin?
Definition
direct thrombin inhibitors that are bivalent
Term
What kind of drug is Argatroban and dabigatran etexilate?
Definition
monovalent direct thrombin inhibitor
dabigatran etexilate is pradaxa
Term
MOA of bivalent and monovalent direct thrombin inhibitors
Definition
bivalent: binds substrate recognition and catalytic site of thrombin
Monovalent: only bind the catalytic site
Term
What are the clinical uses for direct thrombin inhibitors?
Definition
used for heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) or pradaxa dabigatran is used to prevent emboli in atrial flutter
Term
Route of elimination for pradaxa?
Definition
dabigatran is renally excreted
Term
Side effects of dabigatran?
Definition
bleeding and GI symptoms.
Term
warfarin (coumadin) pharmacokinetics?
Definition
100% bioavailability but 99% protein bound. initial affects 12 hours delayed w/ full affects after 8 days.
Term
Warfarin MOA
Definition
blocks carboxylation (activation of) VII, IX, and X via blocking reductiono f Vit K.
Term
What would you give a pt w/ warfarin toxicity?
Definition
Vit K.
Term
contraindications for anticoagulation therapy? 6 things
Definition
active bleeding
Hemophilia
Liver disease
Thrombocytopenia
hx of HIT
Pregnancy
Term

Name 3 endogenous plasminogen activators

Name 3 plasminogen activating drugs

Definition

tPA, Urokinase type plasminogen activator, kallikrein, neutrophil elastase

 

Reteplase, Teneteplase, and altaplase

Term
name 3 fibrinolytic agents
Definition

The -plase's + streptokinase

streptokinase, alteplase, reteplase, and teneteplase alteplase, reteplase, and teneteplase are tPA's.

Term
MOA for streptokinase
Definition
activates plasminogen (fibrin bound and non fibrin bound) to plasmin in all fibrin.
Term
MOA for alteplase, reteplase, and teneteplase
Definition
binds to and activates fibri-bound plasminogen and not circulating plasminogen that isn't bound to fibrin
Term
clinical uses of fibrinolytics?
Definition
PE, DVTs, ischemic strokes (tPAs preferred), acute MI
Term
name a few contraindications for thrombolytic therapy
Definition
recent surgery, hx serious GI bleeding, malignant htn, CVA w/in 3 months, aortic dissection, acute pericarditis
Term
name a fibrinolytic inhibitor
MOA?
Definition
Tranexamic Acid and aminocaproic acid
completively binds and inhibits plasminogen
Term

release of ADP from damaged endothelium results in what?

Intracellular signal?

Definition
ADP binds to P2Y12 receptor on platelets that is Gi coupled.  Lowers intraplatelet cAMP and increases Ca causing activation and expression of GPIIb/IIIa receptors --> platelet aggregation
Term
What effects does the local release of TxA2 by the endothelium have?
Definition
stimulates thromboxane receptor to increase intracellular Ca activating GPIIb/IIIa receptors
Term
Aspirin mechanism?
Definition
Irreversibly inhibits COX-1 that produces the TxA2
Term
Name 2 ADP antagonists? MOA Give 2 examples of these drugs When to use them?
Definition
inhibit the P2Y12 receptor (Gi coupled) for ADP Clopidogrel (plavix) Prasugrel (Effient) clopidogrel - w/ aspirin to prevent stroke/MI in pts w/ history Prasugrel - reduce risk of MI after angioplasty. Do not use if pt has hx of stroke
Term
