8
Q

what is coronary steal phenomenon?

A

shunting of blood from ischemic to normally perfused areas of myocardium

all the vessels are dilated reducing any gradient that would drive blood towards ischemic regions

9

16
Q

how does Warfarin work?

22
Q

how do Nitrates work?

A
  1. decrease intracellular Ca to work directly on heart smooth muscle
  2. this decresaes preload/afterload and decreases O2 demand
23

restore normal rhythm or control abnormal

26

Q

Antiarrhythmic Drug

Class II

A

beta-blocker

try to control rate

29
Q

Antiarrhythmic Drug

Class III
