About This Presentation

Description : Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a condition where the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed due to plaque buildup, leading to reduced oxygen supply and potential heart complications. Effective cardiac care involves a combination of lifestyle modifications, medications, and medical procedures to manage symptoms and prevent further progression of the disease. Treatment options include vasodilators to improve blood flow, blood-thinning drugs to prevent clot formation, calcium channel blockers to reduce heart strain, and anti-cholesterol medications to lower harmful cholesterol levels. Additionally, specialized medicines for heart disease help regulate blood pressure, heart rate, and overall cardiac function. For patients with atherosclerosis, treatment focuses on reducing plaque buildup through medication, dietary changes, and, in severe cases, surgical interventions such

Cardiac Care Treatment of Coronary Heart Disease
Slide 2-

Medical Management Coronary heart disease (CHD) can be managed through a combination of lifestyle changes, medications, and surgical interventions. Lifestyle modifications include healthy eating, regular exercise, smoking cessation, and stress management. Medications are prescribed to control symptoms, improve heart function, and prevent complications.
Slide 3-

Vasodilators Vasodilators help widen blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing strain on the heart. Common vasodilators include nitrates such as glyceryl trinitrate and isosorbide mononitrate, available in tablets, sprays, and skin patches. These medications help relieve angina (chest pain) and improve oxygen supply to the heart.
Slide 4-

Blood-Thinning Drugs Blood thinners prevent blood clots, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Common blood-thinning medications include aspirin, clopidogrel, rivaroxaban, ticagrelor, and prasugrel. These drugs help maintain smooth blood flow through narrowed arteries.
Slide 5-

Calcium Channel Blockers Calcium channel blockers relax blood vessels and reduce heart workload. They are used to treat high blood pressure and angina. Examples include amlodipine, diltiazem, and verapamil.
Slide 6-

Anti-Cholesterol Drugs Statins are commonly prescribed to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and reduce plaque buildup in arteries. Common statins include atorvastatin, simvastatin, rosuvastatin, and pravastatin. These medications help prevent atherosclerosis and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Slide 7-

Medicines for Heart Disease Various medications are used to manage heart disease, including beta-blockers (e.g., atenolol, bisoprolol) to slow heart rate and improve blood flow, ACE inhibitors (e.g., lisinopril, enalapril) to lower blood pressure and protect heart function, and diuretics to reduce fluid buildup and ease heart strain.
Slide 8-

Treatment of Atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis is the hardening and narrowing of arteries due to plaque buildup. Treatment includes cholesterol-lowering medications, lifestyle changes, and surgical interventions. In severe cases, procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery may be required.
