Drugs effecting the CVS
Anticholesterol
Statins
e.g. Lovastatin, Simvastatin, Mevastatin, Pravastatin
MOA
Inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, which is a rate limiting enzyme for cholesterol synthesis. Causing an increase in LDL receptor expression.
ADR/Dental Implications
Common: myalgia, Rare: Rhabdomyolysis
Avoid macrolides, metronidazole, and azole antifungals as there is a risk of statin toxicity
-
Bile Acids/Sequestrants
e.g. Cholestyramine, Colestipol
-
Fibric Acids
e.g. Gemfibrozil, Clofibrate
-
-
Anti-angina
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Ranolazine
Used in combination with other conventional drugs if patient can't tolerate other anti-anginal drugs
-
Anti-hypertensive
-
Diuretics
Thiazide diuretics
e.g. Bendroflumethiazide, Chlortalidone
MOA
lower BP by reducing blood volume, venous return, cardiac output, Peripheral resistance
ADR/Dental
Implications
Hypokalemia, diabetes mellitus, high uric acid
-
Loop diuretics
Strong diuretic
e.g furesomide
MOA
decrease pre-load on the heart, useful for acute congestive heart failure
-
-
Other vasodilators
α1 blockers
e.g. Doxazosin
MOA
Selectively binds and blocks the vascular a1 receptor, Induces vasodilation
-
ACE inhibitors
First line for CHF
e.g. Lisinopril, Monopril
-
-
-
-
-
Anti-arrythmic
-
Congestive Heart Failure
-
-
-
Aldosterone Antagonists
e.g. Spironolactone, Epleronone
-
Inotropic drugs
e.g. Dopamine, Dobutamine, Inodilators (Milrinone)
MOA
Affect myocardial contractility, and increase heart rate
-
-
-
Digoxin
MOA
Blocks Na+/K+ pump, increases Ca2+ inside the cell (Ca2+ needed for contraction) , increasing vagal activity
ADR/Dental
implication
GIT side effects, arrhythmia (life threatening)
Avoid taking with: Macrolides, Tetracycline (can induce arrhythmia). Epinephrine, Anticholinergics (induce digoxin toxicity, arrhythmia due to decreased metabolism)
Hypokalemia (ADR of Thiazide diuretics), hypomagnesemia, and hypercalcemia are at risk of Digoxin toxicity
counteracted with digibind, or Atropine (anticholinergic) in case of AV block
-
Na channel blockers
e.g. Procainamide(blocks K+), lignocaine and phenytoin (opens K+), Encainide
K+ channel blockers
e.g. Amiodarone
ADR/Dental Implications
-
interacts with Fentanyl, can cause bradycardia, sinus arrest, and hypotension
