- 1lovastatin/atorvastatinused in angina prevention.inhibits HMG CoA reductase. causes decreased liver cholesterol synthesis and increase VLDL and LDL receptor synthesis = less LDL in blood
- 2fibratesangina prevention. PPAR agonist. causes
-increased beta oxidation by liver,
-decreased hepatic trigyceride secretion,
-increased LPL activity
-increased HDL - 3bile acid binding agents (cholestipol, cholestyramine)angina prevention. bind bile acid in the gut. causes
- decreased enterohepatic recirculation

- 5differences between phenylalkylamines, benzothiazepines, dihydropyridines in treating anginaaim is to reduce myocardial oxygen demand and increase coronary perfusion in angina.
phenylalkylamines (verapamil) are very myocardial selective therefore very little peripheral effect seen
Dihydropyridines have lots of peripheral vasodilator action (not wanted for angina treatment because of sympathetic reflex)(also not used for antiarrythmia treatment)(however, useful for treatment of hypertension)
Benzothiazepines are a bridge between the two (both cardiac depressant and vasodilator action- able to reduce arterial pressure without having too much of a sympathetic reflex) - 6why give low dose aspirin in angina treatmentinactivates cox in platelets but not in endothelial cells. cox have no nucleus and cannot resynthesise TXA2
