ANTI-ANGINAL
DRUGS
Introduction :
• Angina pectoris is characterized by sudden severe
pressing chest pain or heaviness radiating to the neck,
jaw, back and arms.
• It is often associated with diaphoresis, tachypnea
and nausea.
• Angina is caused by coronary flow that is insufficient to
meet oxygen demands of the myocardium.
There are three types of Angina :
1. Stable Angina ( Most common)
2. Unstable Angina
3. Prinzmetal (variant) angina
Stable Angina
• Attacks are predictably provoked by exercise, emotion etc. It lasts
for several seconds and subsides on rest. “Stable” indicates the
reproducible nature of the angina; the same activity at the same
intensity faithfully produces symptoms.
Unstable Angina
• The unstable angina is characterized by recurrent attacks of
angina. It occurs with minimal exertion. It is precipitated due to
combination of athero scleroti-plaque, platelet aggregation at
ruptured plaque and vasospasm.
Prinzmetal (Variant) Angina
• This is a relatively uncommon pattern of myocardial ischemia usually
occurring at rest or during sleep and often in young individuals.
• It is induced by coronary artery vasospasm, it generally
responds promptly to vasodilators.
ANTIANGINAL DRUGS:
1. Nitrates:
• Glyceryl trinitrate (Nitroglycerin)
• Isosorbide dinitrate, Isosorbide mononitrate
2. Beta-blocker
• Atenolol, propranolol, metoprolol
3. Calcium channel blocker
• Nifedipine, amlodipine
4. Potassium channel opener
Nicorandil
NITRATES
• They act directly on all the smooth muscle of the body &
relax them.
• Nitrates release nitric oxide which is a powerful muscle relaxants.
• Most predominant in the vascular smooth muscles (i.e
walls of arteries & veins).
Preload reduction
Nitroglycerin relaxes vascular smooth muscle and
dilates both arterial and venous vessels.
Dilation of veins is more predominant than dilation of
arteries, resulting in peripheral pooling of blood &
decreased venous return.
decreased preload
Afterload reduction
Nitrates also produce some arteriolar dilatation
Decrease peripheral resistance
Reduction of afterload
Redistribution of coronary flow
Dilatation of coronary arteries
Increase blood supply to the myocardium
Effects on other smooth muscles
• Relax the bronchi, biliary tracts & esophagus
muscles.
• Also dilates cutaneous vessels & meningeal
vessels .
Available forms
1. Sublingual Tablets.
2. Topical Ointment and Transdermal Patches.
3. Translingual Spray.
4. Transmucosal Tablets.
5. Intravenous (IV).
SIDE EFFECTS
• Headache
• flushing,
• hypotension
• dizziness
Therapeutic uses of antianginal drugs
Nitrates:-
• Angina pectoris
• MI
• Congestive cardiac failure
• Biliary colic
• Cyanide poisoning
• Oesophageal spasm
CONTRAINDICATION
•Hypersensitivity
•Severe anaemia
•Increased ICP
•Cerebral haemorrhage
Isosorbide
1.Isosorbide mononitrate 2.Isosorbide dinitrate
•Is a nitrate like nitroglycerin, and is used for treating and preventing
angina.
•It is NOT used to treat HTN.
•Is given Sublingual or Per Oral .
•SL Isosorbide has a slower onset and a longer duration of action
compared to SL nitroglycerin .
•Because SL isosorbide does NOT relieve chest pain as rapidly as
introglycerin, Isosorbide is limited to treating acute angina in
patients intolerant or unresponsive to SL nitroglycerin .
1.Isosorbide mononitrate:- 20 to 40 mg orally
2.Isosorbide dinitrate:- 5 -1o mg sublingually or orally
Ca++ channel blockers
vasodilation
Block the entry of ca++ ions into the smooth & cardiac
muscles
Decreased intracellular ca++ & causes smooth muscles
relaxation
BETA BLOCKERS
DECREASE CORONARY SUPPLY
DECREASE THE HEART RATE BY BLOCKING BETA RECEPTOR
DECREASE THE WORK OF HEART
DECREASE O2 CONSUMPTION
INCREASE REDISTRIBUTION OF BLOOD
ADVERSE EFFECT
Hypotension
Depression
Bradycardia
Heart block CHF
CONTRAINDICATION
Heart block
Pulmonary edema
Cardiogenic shock
KCHANNEL OPNER
DRUG USED
NICORANDIL 5-10 MG TAB 2MG/VIAL
ADVRSE EFFECT
• FLUSHING
• PALPITATION
• WEAKNESS
• DIZZINESS
• NAUSEA
• VOMITING
