Normal Heartbeat
• Begins in cell membranes of sinoatrial (SA) node
• Ion channels in cell membrane open– Na+ and Ca + + ions flow into cell– Voltage becomes positive (depolarization)
• Other channels open– K+ ions flow out of cell– Voltage becomes negative (repolarization)

Predetermined Factors for Cardiovascular Disease
• Heredity– Children of parents with CV disease higher risk– African Americans 2 to 3x more likely than
other ethnic groups to have hypertension
• Gender– Men greater risk than women until age55
• Increasing AgeAlmost 55% of heart attack victims age 65+
![Page 6: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Factors Influenced by Lifestyle Modification
• Cigarette Smoking– Smokers twice the risk of heart attack
than nonsmokers• High Blood Pressure– Increases stroke and heart attack risk– Lower blood pressure by diet, exercise,
weight loss, reduce salt, drugs
![Page 7: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Factors Influenced by Lifestyle Modification
• High Blood Cholesterol Levels– Reduces blood flow to heart– Diet low in cholesterol and fats, drugs
• Obesity– Increases blood pressure, cholesterol levels,
lead diabetes, strains heart• Diabetes
– Leads to vascular problems– Diet, drugs
![Page 8: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Beta Blockers (lol, olol)
• heart rate, myocardial contractility, BP
• frequency and severity of attacks• Also used to treat arrhythmias and
HTN, and most commonly used after a MI
![Page 9: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Side Effects of Beta Blockers
• Tiredness is most common • Bradycardia primary side effect• May mask symptoms of hypoglycemia and
hyperthyroidism– Diabetics should avoid
![Page 10: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Beta Blockers in the top 100
• Atenolol/tenormin• Metoprolol/Lopressor• Carvedilol/Coreg
![Page 11: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Nitrates
• Most commonly used drugs for angina• Dilate coronary vessels, leading to
redistribution of blood to ischemic tissues
• Reduce preload on the heart, which reduces cardiac workload and decreases afterload
• Helps with pulmonary edema in CHF
![Page 12: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Nitrates
• Isosorbide Mononitrate (imdur, ismo)• Technicians—watch for patients who
get prescriptions for nitrates and ED drugs
• Severe headache when patients first start using
• Orthostatic hypotension• Flushing
![Page 13: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Calcium Channel Blockers (dipine)
• Inhibit calcium ions moving into cardiac muscle cells– Calcium triggers muscle contraction– Reduces contractility of cell
• Relaxes vascular smooth muscle• Used for most supraventricular
tachyarrhythmias
![Page 14: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Calcium Channel Blocker Info.
• Constipation most common side effect
• Some should be taken with food• Caffeine should be limited• Also first-line therapy for
hypertension
![Page 15: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Calcium channel Blockers in the top 100
• Amlodipine/Norvasc
![Page 16: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Arrhythmias
• Digoxin/Lanoxin• Used with caution, possibility of
systemic accumulation of drug• Patients may experience digitalis
toxicity, or digtoxicity, especially elderly
• Primary signs of digtoxity: nausea, vomiting, arrhythmias
![Page 17: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
• Form of heart failure• Heart pumps less blood than it
receives– Excess blood pools in the chambers and
stretches the walls of the heart
![Page 18: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Fluid Accumulation in CHF
• Kidneys retain water and fluid accumulates in body tissues
• In lungs when left side of heart fails• In abdomen and lower extremities
when right side of heart fails
![Page 19: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ACE Inhibitors (pril)
• Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor
• Inhibits conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II
• Lowers blood pressure and stress on the heart
• Used for HTN, HF, post-MI• Considered to preserve potassium– Warning if patient taking ACE inhibitor and
K
![Page 20: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ACE Inhibitors (pril)

![Page 21: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Dispensing Issues of ACE Inhibitors
• Warning!• Stand slowly to prevent orthostatic
hypotension• Avoid salt substitutes• Given with caution to patients taking
lithium
![Page 22: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Side Effects of ACE Inhibitors
• Dry, nonproductive cough• Dizziness during first few days
![Page 23: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs) (artan)
• Reduce blood pressure by blocking angiotensin II at its receptors
• Bound angiotension II cannot exert its effects
• ARBs: less coughing and angioedema than ACEIs
![Page 24: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
ARB’s
• Diovan/Valsartan• Cozaar/Losartan
![Page 25: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Dispensing Issues of ARBs and ACEs
• Pharmacy technician—if patient has prescriptions for both drug classes from two different prescribers, make pharmacist or prescribers aware
![Page 26: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Blood Clots
• thrombi (singular: thrombus)• Develop from abnormalities in– Blood coagulation – Blood flow– Platelet adhesiveness– Vessel walls
![Page 27: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Clotting Cascade
• Damage to tissue cells activates a pathway of coagulation, or clotting cascade
• If any factor in the cascade is missing, blood will not clot (hemophilia)
![Page 28: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Classes of Drugs to Reduce Risk of Blood Clots
• Anticoagulant: prevents clot formation by inhibiting clotting factors
• Antiplatelet: reduces the risk of clot formation by inhibiting platelet aggregation
• Third class of drugs, fibrinolytics, dissolve clots already formed
![Page 29: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

![Page 30: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Cholesterol
• High blood cholesterol is major risk factor for heart attacks and strokes
• Hypercholesterolemia: excessive amount of cholesterol in blood
• Hyperlipidemia: levels of one or more of the lipoproteins are elevated
![Page 31: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
HDL and LDL
• HDL: Good cholesterol – Carry 20 to 30% of the total serum
cholesterol• LDL: Bad cholesterol– Carry 60 to 70% of the total serum
cholesterol
![Page 32: Cardiovascular Diseases](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/568130b0550346895d96c3e6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
