Study Notes
Cardiovascular Medications
- Beta-blockers are commonly used in the treatment of hypertension.
- The primary mechanism of action of beta-blockers in the treatment of cardiovascular conditions is to reduce heart rate and blood pressure.
- Aspirin is commonly used as an antiplatelet medication to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke.
- Calcium channel blockers can cause peripheral edema as a potential side effect when used in the treatment of cardiovascular conditions.
- The primary mechanism of action of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in the treatment of cardiovascular conditions is to decrease the production of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor.
- Direct thrombin inhibitors, such as dabigatran, are used in the treatment and prevention of thromboembolic disorders.
