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 car-ry 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.
