Calcium Channel Blocker

Eg. Verapamil and Diltiazem, these medications reduce heart rate and are used to treat hypertension and other cardiac conditions.

3
New cards

Angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB)

Eg. Losartan, these medications are used to treat hypertension and heart failure by blocking the action of angiotensin II.

4
New cards

Vasodilator

Eg. Nitroglycerin, these medications help to relax and widen blood vessels, which decreases blood pressure and improves blood flow, commonly used in conditions like heart failure and angina.

5
New cards

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)

Eg. Enalapril, these medications inhibit the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing strain on the heart.
