Drugs and the cardiovascular system
The heart, arteries, veins, and lymphatics make up the cardiovascular system. These structures transport life-supporting oxygen and nutrients to cells, remove metabolic waste products, and carry hormones from one part of the body to another. Because this system performs such vital functions, a problem with the heart or blood vessels can seriously affect a person’s health.
Types of drugs used to improve cardiovascular function include:
- inotropic
- antiarrhythmic
- antianginal
- antihypertensive
- diuretic
- antilipemic.
