  1. Medications to Treat Various Cardiovascular Diseases

  2. Cardiac Medicines Millions of people in the United States take some kind of heart medicine. People require various cardiac medicines to strengthen their hearts, lower cholesterol, prevent blood clots, or stabilize heart rhythms. The cardiac medicines are usually life-giving and powerful. A small drop in your blood pressure reading can reduce your risk of having a heart attack. Heart disease is caused when the blood vessels of the heart are damaged due to blockage or are diseased. Fatty acid gets deposited in the blood vessels known as plaque that leads to blood clots or blockage of the vessels. These can lead to serious heart problems like heart attack, heart rhythm problems, or congestive heart failure. Treating heart disease is important as it can lead to failure of the heart ultimately leading to death. Treatment of heart disease involves lifestyle changes including exercise, food habits, and daily routine along with medication to treat the blockage or damage.

  3. Common medication for cardiac diseases: • Beta Blockers – These are helpful to treat heart attack, heart failure, some arrhythmias, and angina pain. In a stressful situation, the beta-blockers block the effect of adrenaline. They are also effective in the treatment of high blood pressure as they lower the heart rate and reduce the strength of heart muscle contraction. These medicines help improve blood flow to the heart, reduce chest pain, and prevent more damage to the heart. Common beta-blockers used are atenolol (Tenormin), propranolol (Inderal), metoprolol (Betaloc), bisoprolol (Cardicor), and sotalol (Betapace).There are various risks involved in taking beta-blockers like they may make it difficult for people with diabetes to recognize signs of low blood sugar like a rapid heartbeat. The beta-blocker should not be stopped abruptly as it increases the risk of heart problems. The doctor will stop the beta-blockers gradually.

  4. How are medicines taken? • Heart medicines come in many shapes and sizes. • By mouth or orally: Major heart medicines are taken orally such as tablets, capsules, or liquids, which you swallow or take dissolved in water. • Under your tongue or sublingually: The tablet is put under your tongue and allowed to dissolve, or you spray the medicine directly under your tongue. • Into the vein or intravenously: The heart medication is injected directly into a vein, or given in a diluted form through an intravenous drip. • Into the muscle or intramuscularly: The heart medication is injected into the muscle, like the buttock or thigh. • Continue to Read More Click Here
