Cardiovascular Pharmacology is the study of drugs that affect the heart and blood vessels. These medications are used to treat various conditions, such as hypertension, heart failure, and arrhythmias. They work by influencing the heart's rate, rhythm, and overall function, as well as regulating blood pressure and blood flow. Common classes of cardiovascular drugs include beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and calcium channel blockers. Each class has a specific mechanism of action, targeting different aspects of cardiovascular health. Understanding these medications helps healthcare providers manage heart-related diseases effectively and improve patient outcomes.
