Given the many conditions that affect the heart, it's no surprise that hundreds of medications have been developed to treat heart disease and related conditions. Medications are available to:
Ø lower cholesterol
Ø lower blood pressure
Ø slow the heart rate
Ø stop abnormal heart rhythms
Ø improve the force of heart contractions
Ø improve circulation in the coronary arteries (nitrates and other anti-angina medications)
Ø prevent blood from clotting (anticoagulants (also known as blood thinners) and antiplatelet agents)
Ø break apart clots that have formed in an artery or vein (thrombolytics, also known as clot busters)
Ø remove excess water from the body (diuretics, also known as water pills)
