Cards

Term
Heparin
Definition
Direct acting anti-coagulant
-Increases aPTT
Works by accelerating AntithrombinIII
*Causes Hepar-induced thrombocytopenia (IgG against hep/platelet factor IV)
Term
Low Molecular Weight Heparins (LMWH)
Definition
Direct acting anti-coag
-More predictable pharmacokinetics, greater bioavailability, greater therapeutic index
Term
Protamine
Definition
Heparin antagonist (for overdose)
Term
Warfarin
Definition
Indirect-acting Anticoag
Keeps Vit K from being reduced to active form
-Orally effective
*dont use in pregnancy
Term
Aspirin
Definition
Anti-platelet
Irreversibly inhibits COX, prevent TXA2-mediated activation and adhesion
*can get induced airway hyperreactivity
Term
Dipyridamole
Definition

Anti-platelet (phosphodiesterase inhibitor)

Increases intracellular cAMP

Term
Clpidogrel
Definition
Anti-platelet
Blocks ADP receptors, which eliminates inhibtion of adenylyl cyclase (^cAMP)
Term
Eptifibitide
Definition
Anti-platelet (synthetic peptide)
blocks GPIIb-IIIa
Term
Tirofiban
Definition
Antiplatelet (non-peptide tyrosine analog)- binds GPIIb/IIIa, inhibits fibrin binding
Term
Epoprostenol
Definition
Anti-platelet- syntetic (PGI2) analog
Increases action of adenyl cyclase (^cAMP)
Term
Lepirudin
Definition
Anti-platelet (hirudin analog)
-direct thrombin inhibitor
Term
Streptokinase
Definition
Thrombolytic
-Binds plasminogen and cleaves it (large loading does needed)
Term
Urokinase
Definition
Thrombolytic (from fetal kidney cells)
-Directly cleaves plasminogen to plasmin
Term
Altepase
Definition
Thrombolytic (rt-PA
-Binds thrombus, undergoes conformational change, activates plasminogen (needs fibrin binding)
