cardiovascular pharmacotherapy

Cardiovascular pharmacotherapy refers to the use of medications to treat heart and blood vessel diseases. These drugs can help manage conditions like high blood pressure, heart failure, and cholesterol. Common types include diuretics to reduce fluid, beta-blockers to lower heart rate, and statins to lower cholesterol levels. These medications aim to improve heart function, reduce symptoms, and prevent complications such as heart attacks or strokes. Doctors carefully prescribe and monitor these treatments to ensure they are effective and safe for each individual patient.
