Angina pectoris treatment

Pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases. Angina pectoris, treatment of diabetes mellitus. [Pg.147]

Other agents are also used for the treatment of manic-depressive disorders based on preliminary clinical results (177). The antiepileptic carbamazepine [298-46-4] has been reported in some clinical studies to be therapeutically beneficial in mild-to-moderate manic depression. Carbamazepine treatment is used especially in bipolar patients intolerant to lithium or nonresponders. A majority of Hthium-resistant, rapidly cycling manic-depressive patients were reported in one study to improve on carbamazepine (178). Carbamazepine blocks noradrenaline reuptake and inhibits noradrenaline exocytosis. The main adverse events are those found commonly with antiepileptics, ie, vigilance problems, nystagmus, ataxia, and anemia, in addition to nausea, diarrhea, or constipation. Carbamazepine can be used in combination with lithium. Several clinical studies report that the calcium channel blocker verapamil [52-53-9] registered for angina pectoris and supraventricular arrhythmias, may also be effective in the treatment of acute mania. Its use as a mood stabilizer may be unrelated to its calcium-blocking properties. Verapamil also decreases the activity of several neurotransmitters. Severe manic depression is often treated with antipsychotics or benzodiazepine anxiolytics. [Pg.233]

Nitroglycerin remains the dmg of choice for treatment of angina pectoris. It has also been found useful for the treatment of congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, peripheral vascular disease, such as Raynaud s disease, and mitral insufficiency, although the benefits of nitroglycerin in mitral insufficiency have been questioned. [Pg.125]

Nifedipine (Table 3) is a potent vasodilator that selectively dilates resistance vessels and has fewer effects on venous vessels. It does not cause reflex tachycardia during chronic therapy. Nifedipine is one of the first-line choices for black or elderly patients and patients having concomitant angina pectoris, diabetes, or peripheral vascular diseases. Nifedipine, sublingually, is also suitable for the treatment of hypertensive emergencies. Nifedipine does not impair sexual function or worsen blood Hpid profile. The side effects are flushing, headache, and dizziness. [Pg.142]

Prenyl amine (66) was long used in the treatment of angina pectoris, in which condition it was believed to act by inhibiting the uptake and storage of catecholamines in heart tissue. Droprenilamine (69), an analogue in which the phenyl ring is reduced, acts as a coronary vasodilator. One of several syntheses involves simple reductive alkylation of 1,1-diphenyl-propylamine (67) with cyclohexyl acetone (68)... [Pg.47]

DHPs are potent arterial vasodilators. They act on resistance vessels and therefore reduce peripheral vascular resistance, lower arterial blood pressure, and antagonize vasospasms in coronary or peripheral arteries. By reducing afterload, DHPs also reduce cardiac oxygen demand. Together with their vascular spasmolytic effect, this explains most of the beneficial actions of DHPs in angina pectoris. Most DHPs are only licensed for the therapy of hypertension, some of them also for the treatment of angina pectoris and vasospastic (Prinzmetal) angina. [Pg.298]

Typical KCO members are diazoxide, pinacidil, cromakalim, and nicorandil. KCOs activate KATP channels by binding to SUR subunits. Diazoxide and nicorandil are clinically used in treatment of PHHI and angina pectoris, respectively. [Pg.671]

Nitroglycerin has long been used for the treatment of acute attack of angina pectoris, and its stable analogs are available to prevent the anginal attack. Nitrovaso-dilators such as sodium nitropmsside liberate NO from their molecules in the tissue (thus, called NO donors) and elicit actions via cyclic GMP like those seen with endogenously synthesized NO. [Pg.860]

Vasodilators are a group of dtugs, which relax the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels and lead to an increased local tissue blood flow, a reduced arterial pressure and a reduced central venous pressure. Vasodilators reduce the cardiac pre-load as well as after-load and thereby reduce cardiac work. They are used in a variety of conditions including hypertension, cardiac failure and treatment/prevention of angina pectoris. Major groups are Ca2+-channel blockers (e.g. dihydropyridines), NO-donators (e.g. organic nitrates), K+-channel openers (minoxidil), phosphodiesterase inhibitors (e.g. sildenafil), Rho-kinase inhibitors (e.g. Y27632) or substances with unknown mechanism of action (e.g. hydralazine). Inhibitors of the... [Pg.1272]

These dm are primarily used in the treatment of hypertension (see the Summary Drug Table Adrenergic Blocking Drugs also see Chap. 39) and certain cardiac arrhythmias (abnormal rhythm of the heart), such as ventricular arrhythmias or supraventricular tachycardia They are used to prevent reinfarction in patients with a recent myocardial infarction (1—4 weeks after MI). Some of these dm have additional uses, such as the use of propranolol for migraine headaches and nadolol for angina pectoris. [Pg.214]
