1. CVDs due to atherosclerosis: ■ ischaemic heart disease or coronary artery disease (e.g. heart attack) ■ cerebrovascular disease (e.g. stroke) ■ diseases of the aorta and arteries, including hypertension and peripheral vascular disease

2. Other CVDs ■ congenital heart disease ■ rheumatic heart disease ■ cardiomyopathies ■ cardiac arrhythmias

Some Background

In Atherosclerosis, fatty material and cholesterol are deposited inside the lumen of medium- and large-sized blood vessels (arteries). These deposits (plaques) cause the inner surface of the blood vessels to become irregular and the lumen to become narrow, making it harder for blood to flow through. Blood vessels also become less pliable as a result. Eventually, the plaque can rupture, triggering the formation of a blood clot. If the blood clot develops in a coronary artery, it can cause a heart attack; if it develops in the brain, it can cause a stroke.

Behavioural Risk Factors: tobacco use, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, alcohol abuseMetabolic Risk Factors:• Raised Blood Pressure (hypertension)• Raised Blood Sugar (diabetes)• Raised Blood Lipids (cholesterol) - Not included in todays presentation• Overweight and ObesityOther Risk Factors: income, education, age, genetic, psychological

Cardiomyopathy makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of your body. The main types of cardiomyopathy include dilated, hypertrophic (thickening of heart muscle) and restrictive cardiomyopathy. It can lead to heart failure, blood clots, valve problems and cardiac arrest.

Risk Factors: high blood pressure, tissue damage from heart attack, valve problems, obesity

Rheumatic heart disease is caused by damage to the heart muscle and heart valves from rheumatic fever, following a streptococcal pharyngitis/tonsillitis.

The heart valves can remain stretched and/or scarred, and normal blood flow through damaged valves is interrupted. Blood may flow backward through stretched valves that do not close properly, or may be blocked due to scarred valves not opening properly. When the heart is damaged in this way, the heart valves are unable to function adequately, and heart surgery may be required. Untreated, RHD causes heart failure and those affected are at risk of arrhythmias, stroke, endocarditis and complications of pregnancy. 

Once the acute illness has gone away, patients need to take penicillin, or an equivalent antibiotic, for many years to prevent recurrences. This is a very important treatment because the risk of heart valve damage increases if rheumatic fever recurs.

Malformations of heart structures present at birth are known as congenital heart defects. They may be caused by: (i) a close blood relation between parents (consanguinity); (ii) maternal infections (e.g. rubella); (iii) maternal use of alcohol and drugs (e.g. warfarin); and (iv) poor maternal nutrition (e.g. deficiency of folic acid). In some cases the cause remains unknown. Examples of congenital heart disease include holes in the septum of the heart, abnormal valves and abnormalities in heart chambers. It is the most common birth defect and was present in 48.9 million people globally (2015).

Cardiac arrhythmias occur when the electrical impulses that coordinate your heartbeats don't work properly, causing your heart to beat too fast, too slow or irregularly. They are classified as tachycardia (resting heart rate > 100 beats/min) and bradycardia (resting heart rate < 60 beats/min).

Atrial fibrillation is one of the common tachyarrhythmias arising from the atria. It is characterized by predominantly uncoordinated atrial activation with consequent deterioration of mechanical function of the heart. Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of stroke fivefold. Once atrial fibrillation is diagnosed, drugs are given to control the heart rate and anticoagulants are given to prevent stroke.

It can be caused by coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, drugs, alcohol abuse, electrolyte imbalance, diabetes.

Antithrombotic Drugs (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs)

How do they work and why are they different?

• Fibrin and platelets most important components of a thrombus (clot) • Fibrin is a protein that forms a mesh that traps red blood cells• Platelets, a type of blood cell, form clumps that add to the mass of the thrombus • Both fibrin and platelets stabilize the thrombus and prevent it from falling apart • Fibrin is the more important component of clots that form in veins• Platelets are the more important component of clots that form in arteries

Anticoagulants slow down clotting, thereby reducing fibrin formation and preventing clots from forming and growing. Antiplatelet agents prevent platelets from clumping and also prevent clots from forming and growing.

see GM:Natural products inspired

drug discovery (Chu, 2017)

Example for Anticoagulant Factor Xa (FXa) is essential in formation of thrombin, a key mediator of both fibrin formation and platelet activation. Inhibition of FXa interrupts both the intrinsic and extrinsic activation pathways of thrombin production. FXa together with FVa, calcium, and phospholipids, a prothrombinase complex is formed, which converts prothrombin to thrombin. Thrombin, in turn, converts fibrinogen to fibrin and activates platelets, eventually leading to the formation of thrombus or blood clots. This process involves signal amplification, with one molecule of FXa activating many molecules of prothrombin to thrombin. Therefore, inhibition of FXa may be more effective than inhibition of thrombin.

Beta Blockers

Medications for hypertension and to manage abnormal heart rhythms. They reduce blood pressure by blocking the effects of adrenaline. The heart beats more slowly and with less force, thereby reducing blood pressure. Additionaly, they also act as vasodilators.

While once a first-line treatment for hypertension, they are not as effective as diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or calcium channel blockers, and were downgraded in June 2006 to fourth-in-line (UK). Additionally, at usual doses they carry an unacceptable risk of provoking type 2 diabetes.

Banned by IOC (lower heart rate and reduce tremors) → used by surgeons

Beta receptors are found on cells of the heart muscles, smooth muscles, airways, arteries, kidneys, and other tissues that are part of the sympathetic nervous system and lead to stress responses, especially when they are stimulated by adrenaline. Beta blockers interfere with the binding to the receptor of adrenaline and other stress hormones, and weaken the effects of stress hormones.

Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs)

• Medications that disrupt the movement of calcium (Ca2+) through calcium channels.• Used as antihypertensive drugs• Particularly effective against large vessel stiffness, one of the common causes of elevated systolic blood pressure in elderly patients• Used to alter heart rate, to prevent cerebral vasospasm, and to reduce chest pain caused by angina pectoris (reduced blood flow to the heart)

• By acting on vascular smooth muscle, they reduce contraction of the arteries and cause an increase in arterial diameter, a phenomenon called vasodilation (CCBs do not work on venous smooth muscle)• By acting on cardiac muscles (myocardium), they reduce the force of contraction of the heart• By slowing down the conduction of electrical activity within the heart, they slow down the heart beat.• By blocking the calcium signal on adrenal cortex cells, they directly reduce aldosterone production, which correlates to lower blood pressure.

Hypertension, elevated blood pressure indicated by systolic or diastolic pressures exceeding 140 mmHg or 90 mmHg, respectively, is becoming an increasingly important medical problem as the general population becomes older and more overweight. A recent summary of research in the area of hypertension indicates that 50 million Americans and as many as one billion people globally suffer from hypertension (NHLBI, www.nhlbi.nih.gov, 2007). More importantly, the treatment of hypertension is becoming more complicated as the population ages, because many patients will take drugs to treat conditions such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, and so on

In the body's tissues, the concentration of calcium ions (Ca2+) outside of cells is about 10000-fold higher than the concentration inside of cells. Embedded in the membrane of some cells are calcium channels. When these cells receive a certain signal, the channels open, letting calcium rush into the cell. The resulting increase in intracellular calcium has different effects in different types of cells. CCBs prevent or reduce the opening of these channels and thereby reduce these effects.

CCBs used as medications primarily have four effects:

Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitor

Treatment of hypertension, heart failure and after a heart attack (taken for life once started)

Relaxes blood vessels and decreases blood volume → lower pressure and decreased oxygen demand from the heart

• Inhibits ACE which is an important component of the renin-angiotensin system (hormone system that regulates blood pressure and fluid balance). • ACE catalyses the formation of angiotensin II from its precursor, angiotensin I• Angiotensin II is a powerful vasoconstrictor and increases blood pressure

Angiotensin-Receptor Blockers (ARBs)

• AT1 receptors promote aldosterone secretion and Na retention by stimulation of angiotension receptors present on the adrenal cortex → elevated blood pressure due to vasoconstriction• AT2 receptors are present only in low levels and not associated with CV homeostasis.• The final step of the renin angiotensin cascade is the activation of angiotensin II receptors AT1 and AT2 by angiotensin II. • ACE inhibitors suppress RAS by blocking the formation of angiotensin II• Until 1995, ACE inhibitors only drugs capable of the RAS blockade (undesirable side effects such as a dry cough) • Angiotensin II AT1 receptor blockers more direct way to develop specific inhibitors of the RAS • Blocks the pathway more specifically than ACE inhibitors

Diuretics (Water Pills)

• Helps rid your body of salt (sodium) and water• Makes kidneys release more sodium into urine and sodium takes water with it from blood• Decreases the amount of fluid flowing through blood vessels, reducing pressure on vessel walls

The Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure recommends that most people try thiazide diuretics first to treat high blood pressure and heart problems related to high blood pressure.

In addition, also prescribed for heart failure, liver failure, tissue swelling (edema) and certain kidney disorders, such as kidney stones

R = OH; digoxin (Lanoxin®) GSK, 1954 (US)R = H; digitoxin (Digitaline®)

According to GSK, farmers in the Netherlands grow fields of woolly foxglove, which is a member of the snapdragon family. Bales of dried foxglove leaves are shipped to the U.S. Here, processing facilities macerate the leaves and extract digitalis using an aqueous-alcohol solvent. Further treatment and processing yields powdered digoxin, which is compounded into tablets, injectable solutions, elixirs, and capsules. It takes about 1,000 kg of dried foxglove leaves to make 1 kg of pure digoxin, the company adds.

https://pubs.acs.org/cen/coverstory/83/8325/8325digoxin.html

‘The cardiac drug digoxin, in use for more than 200 years, stemmed from an herbal remedy rather than from laboratory chemistry. English physician William Withering is credited with discovering in 1775 that the foxglove plant could help those suffering from abnormal fluid buildup, or dropsy, as it was called in those days.

In a 1785 report, Withering writes that he was asked to evaluate a home remedy for dropsy compounded by Mrs. Hutton, "an old woman in Shropshire." Her herbal concoction "made cures after the more regular practitioners had failed," according to his report.

Withering, who was also a botanist, quickly figured out that of the 20 or so herbs in the woman's remedy, foxglove was the key ingredient. In his report, he noted that foxglove was particularly helpful for his patients who developed dropsy after suffering from scarlet fever or bad sore throats. Scarlet fever and strep throat, both caused by a Streptococcus bacterium, can damage the heart valves. Improperly functioning valves can lead to congestive heart failure--a condition in which fluid builds up in the body's tissues because of the heart's weak pumping action.Withering used dried foxglove leaves in his dropsy remedy. The leaves contain a number of glycosides--chemicals that are composed of a sugar and a cardenolide (which has a five-membered lactone ring)--that are called by the umbrella term digitalis. The flowers, seeds, and sap also contain digitalis, but less than the leaves have.’
