Cardiac Medications

These are different class of drugs which are used to treat cardiac diseases and even to prevent occurrence of cardiac failure

  • ACE inhibitors: These medications stop stress hormones and relieve stress on the heart pumping action. They increase symptoms and reduce hospitalizations for patients with heart failure.
  • Antiarrhythmics: These control irregular heartbeats — and maintain a normal heart rate and rhythm.
  • Anticoagulants and platelet inhibitors: These cause your blood to take longer to clot, which can decrease the risk of strokes and heart attacks that can occur when blood clots get plunge in small blood vessels.
  • Antihypertensives: These are commonly used to treat high blood pressure by relaxing and widening blood vessels.
  • Beta blockers: These medications are frequently prescribed to treat angina, high blood pressure, and abnormal heart rhythms. They stop stress hormones and relieve stress on the heart’s pumping movement . Relax the blood vessels so blood can move with more ease. Improve the heart’s function . Decrease symptoms and lessen the chance of future hospitalizations
  • Calcium channel blockers: These are mostly used to treat high blood pressure, coronary artery spasms, and angina. They stop the normal flow of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels, which discourages smaller vessels from narrowing and going into spasm, and also decreases the heart’s workload and need for oxygen.
  • Digitalis glycosides: These strengthen the heart muscle, treat irregular heart rhythms, and improve exercise tolerance.
  • Diuretics: These helps in getting rid of our body excess fluid and salt. They are often prescribed for high blood pressure and congestive heart failure.
  • Lipid medications: The medications in this set work in different ways depending on which one you’re taking, lipid medications can decrease your levels of cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides — as well as treat unusual low levels of HDL cholesterol.
  • Nitrates and other antianginals : These are usually used to prevent, reduce, or relieve angina pain. They perform by relaxing blood vessels and increasing the distribution of blood and oxygen to the heart — while decreasing the blood pressure that your heart has to pump against.
