Cardiovascular Pharmacology

Cardiovascular pharmacology involves medications that affect the heart and blood vessels to improve health outcomes. These drugs can help manage conditions like high blood pressure, heart rhythm problems, and angina by dilating vessels, reducing heart workload, or regulating electrical activity. Some medications improve blood flow, decrease fluid buildup, or prevent blood clots, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Understanding how these drugs work helps healthcare providers select appropriate therapies, monitor effects, and adjust treatments to keep the cardiovascular system functioning effectively and safely.
