Cardiovascular diseases
Cardiovascular diseases have played a leading role in the morbidity and mortality, especially in developed countries. Causes of their growth vary, but the most important factor are stress, unhealthy lifestyle, poor environment, smoking, which in this connection are called risk factors. This means that the risk of contracting and dying from heart and vascular (hypertension, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, stroke) diseases increases every year, so these factors are an integral part of our lives.
Despite the fact that we live already in the 21st century, and humanity is confidently striding forward, conquering the unknown, cardiovascular disease are still chasing us.
Sometimes we think that some time will pass, and new technologies, scientific discoveries will help to get rid of all the deadly diseases, and we will finally acquire immortality, or at least improve the quality of life, especially at the respectful age. Statistics, however, has consistently remained pessimistic. Thus, in the structure of mortality, diseases of the circulatory system remain the major causes of death: they accounted for 51% of all registered deaths. Only a cardiologist can determine the strategy for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases; self-medication with such a serious disease is unacceptable. Intrigue and a common feature of cardiovascular disease is their progressive nature. Therefore, on should immediately apply to a cardiologist at the slightest sign of problems with the activity of heart. Only at the early stages of the disease rapid and effective correction is possible, and less medication is needed to restore heart function. Sometimes the disease develops unnoticed by the patient, therefore, it requires annual inspections by a doctor, a cardiologist with the analysis of ECG.
Persantine
Dilates coronary vessels (mostly arterioles) and causes a sizeable increasing of volumetric blood flow velocity. Increases the oxygen content in venous blood of the coronary sinus and myocardial uptake. Enables the development of collateral coronary circulation, improves microcirculation.
Pletal
Pletal works by widening arteries that supply blood to the legs. It also improves blood circulation by keeping platelets in the blood from sticking together and clotting.
Inderal (Propranolol)
Inderal is a non-selective beta blocker. This remedy is mainly exploited to treat tremors, high blood pressure (hypertension), heart rhythm disorders, angina (chest pain), and other heart or circulatory conditions.
Isordil sublingual
Isosorbide dinitrate is a major of antianginal organic nitrates for oral (by mouth) use. Your doctor may prescribe this remedy for other purposes.
Imdur
Imdur is in a group of drugs called nitrates. Imdur dilates (widens) blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow through them and easier for the heart to pump. This remedy is also prescribed to prevent angina attacks (chest pain).
Ticlid
Ticlid is a medicine that inhibits the ability of platelets to clump and form blood clots in a manner similar to clopidogrel (Plavix). Ticlid is recommended to prevent blood clots from forming. That is why it reduces the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Lopressor
Lopressor is beta-adrenergic blocking agent prescribed to treat abnormal rhythms of the heart, heart pain, high blood pressure, and some neurologic conditions. Lopressor reduces the heart rate and is useful in treating rapid heart rhythms.
Monopril
Monopril belongs to a group of medications called ACE inhibitors. It is prescribed to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Your doctor may prescribe this remedy for other purposes.
Betapace
Betapace may cause an irregular heartbeat, that’s why patients who use Betapace should be observed by doctors in a hospital or similar setting in which heart and kidney function monitoring may be performed for at least 3 days after starting Betapace. The monitoring of your heart or kidney function may also be needed if your dose is changed. Don’t change the pill if the doctor prescribed Betapace without asking your medical assistant or pharmacist.
Tenormin
Tenormin is beta-adrenergic blocking agent that blocks the effects of adrenergic medications, e.g., epinephrine or adrenaline, on nerves of the sympathetic nervous system. Beta-adrenergic makes the heart to beat more rapidly, reduces the heart rate and is prescribed to treat abnormally rapid heart rhythms.
Cordarone
Cordarone is a brand name for the medication amiodarone. It is an antiarrhythmic medication used to treat certain types of irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), particularly ventricular arrhythmias. It is known for its effectiveness in restoring and maintaining a regular heart rhythm.
Vasotec
Vasotec is in a group of drugs called ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for angiotensin converting enzyme. This remedy is taken to treat congestive heart failure, high blood pressure (hypertension), kidney problems caused by diabetes, and to improve survival after a heart attack.
Inderal la
Inderal La is a beta-blocker, acting as on beta so on beta2-adrenergic receptors (indiscriminate). By decreasing the impact of the sympathetic impulses on beta-adrenergic receptors of heart, the medicine reduces the strength and heart rate. It reduces the contractile ability of the myocardium (cardiac muscle) and the magnitude of cardiac output.
Calan sr
Calan SR is a calcium-channel blocker. It affects the amount of calcium found in your muscle cells and heart. This relaxes your blood vessels, which can reduce the amount of work the heart has to do.
Norvasc
Norvasc belongs to a group of medicines called calcium channel blockers. By blocking calcium, Norvasc relaxes and widens blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.
Aggrenox
Aggrenox 25 mg/200 mg capsules is an FDA-approved prescription drug prescribed to reduce the risk of a subsequent stroke in patients who have had a transient ischemic attack (TIA or mini-stroke) or stroke due to a blood clot.
Cartia
The drug is the antogonistom calcium, like verapamil has negative dromotropic effect (decreases the rate of excitation). Almost no influence on heart rate, may prevent the paroxysms of supraventricular tahirkardia (heart rhythm disturbances). It is prescribed to treat Supraventricular tachycardia.
Adalat
Adalat pills should be taken in accordance with your doctor’s prescription with or without food. However, keep in mind that Adalat taken without any food may cause you nausea or indigestion. Some periphery cases include ulcers, bleeding and other adverse bowel states.
Aceon
This medicament is used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. This remedy may also be prescribed to treat heart failure or to help protect the kidneys in diabetes. Your doctor may prescribe this remedy for other purposes.
Accupril
Accupril is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. This medicine works by relaxing blood vessels, thus widening them. This remedy is usually prescribed to cure heart disease and high blood pressure.
Calan
Calan is a calcium-channel blocker. It changes the quantity of calcium found in your heart and muscle cells. It works by relaxing the muscles of your blood vessels and heart.
Trental
The drug improves microcirculation. Trental contains the active ingredient pentoxifylline – a derivative of xanthine. The medicine improves blood rheology.
Nimotop
Nimotop decreases problems associated with bleeding in the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage-SAH). Nimotop belongs to a group of remedies known calcium channel blockers. Our organism reacts to bleeding by narrowing the blood vessel.
Altace
Altace is applied for treating patients with severe heart irregularities like heart failures, strokes and other fatal cardiac disorders as well as hypertension conditions. Altace can be used successfully in patients with diabetes for moderating the risk of kidney failure. Altace falls into the group of drugs that block angiotensin converting enzymes, ACE for short, used for regulating and treating severe cardiac conditions, prevent kidney disorders in patients with diabetes and adjust blood pressure in patients with hypertension conditions.
