| Hydralazine hydrochloride | Anti hypertensive, direct acting peripheral vasodilator/Chem Class: Phthalazine/Vasodilates artieroles in smooth muscle by direct relaxation; reduces B/P with reflex increases in heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output. |
| Isosorbide mononitrate | Antianginal, vasodilator, Chem class: Nitrate/ Relaxation of vascular smooth muscle, which leads to decreased preload, after load thus decreasing left ventricular end- diastolic pressur, and systemic vascular resistance and reducing cardiac oxygen demand. |
| Nitroglycerin | Coronary vasodilator, antianginal, Chem Class: Nitrate/Decreases preload and afterload, which thus decreases left ventricular end diastolic pressure and systemic vascular resistance; dilates coronary arteries and improves blood flow through coronary vascu |
| Atorvastatin | Antilipemic, Chem class: HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor/ Inhibits HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, which reduces cholesterol synthesis, high doses lead to plaque regression. |
| Lovastatin | Antilipemic, Chem Class: HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor/By inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, which reduces cholesterol synthesis. |
| Pravastatin Sodium | Antilipemic/Inhibits biosynthesis of VLD, LDL, which are responsible for cholesterol development, by inhibiting the enzyme, HMG-CoA reductase. |
| Rosuvastatin Calcium | Antilipemic/ Inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, which reduces cholesterol synthesis. |
| Simvastatin | Antilipemic/Inhibits HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, which reduces cholesterol synthesis; this enzyme is needed for cholesterol production. |
| Fenofibrate | Antilipemic, Chem CLass: Fibric acid derivative/ Increases lipolysis and elmination of trigylceride-rich particles from plasma by activating lipoprotein lipase, resulting in triglyceride change in size and composition of LDL. |
| Gemfibrozil | Antilipemic/Inhibits biosynthesis of VLDL, decreases triglycerides production in the liver, increases HDLs. |
| Ezetimibe | Antilipemic/Inhibits absorption of cholesterol by the small intestine. |
| Warfarin | Anticoagulant/ Interferes with blood clotting by indirect means; depresses hepatic synthesis of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors (II, VII, IX, X) |
| Dabigatran Etexilate Mesylate | Anticoagulant, Chem Class: Thrombin inhibitor/ Direct thrombin inhibitor that inhibits both free and clot-bound thrombin, prevents thrombin-induced platelet aggregation and thrombus formation by preventing conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. |
| Rivaroxaban | Anticoagulant, Chem Class: Factor Xa inhibitor/ A novel, oral anticoagulant tat selectively and potently inhibits coagulation factor Xa. |
| Clopidogrel Bisulfate | Platelet aggregation inhibitor/ Inhibits first and second phases of ADP-induced effects in platelet aggregation. |
| Digoxin | Inotropic antidysrhythmic, cardiac glycoside Chem Class: Digitalis preparation/ Inhibits sodium-potassium ATPase, which makes more calcium available for contractile proteins, resulting in increased cardiac output; increases force of contraction. |
| Amiodarone Hydrochloride | Antidyrhythmic(Class III) Chem Class: Iodinated benzofuran derivative/ Prolongs action potential duration and effective refractory period, non competitive alpha and Beta adrenergic inhibition; increases PR and QT intervals and decreases sinus rate. |
| Omega-3-acid Ethyl Ester (Lovaza) | Func Class: Antihyperlipidemic Action: reduces triglyceride levels |
| Aspirin | Func Class: Nonopioid Analgesic Chem Class: Salicylate Action: Blocks pain impulses by blocking COX-1 in CNS, reduces inflammation |
