Treating Heart Disease

Archived in the category: Heart Disease

There are a handful of drugs and medicines for the treatment of heart disease. The most commonly used medications belong to these groups:

  • Beta blocking drugs/blockers (atenolon, propranolon, nadolon, etc.)
  • Calcium channel blocker (nifidipine, diltiazem, verapamil, etc.)
  • Nitrates
  • Diuretics
  • ACE Inhibitor (Enalapril, captopril lisinopril)

Another option is a balloon angioplasty. This is a non-invasive technique used to open clogged arteries. Also, bypass grafting involves creating an alternate route for the blood to reach the heart by using a vessel cut from leg.
