Cardiac Rx - MOA
Medications
| Block conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, reducing vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion | ACE Inhibitors | |
| Inhibit beta-adrenergic receptors, decreasing heart rate and contractility | Beta blockers | |
| Block angiotensin II receptors, preventing vasoconstriction and lowering blood pressure | Angiotensin-II Receptor Blockers ARBs | |
| Block calcium influx into cardiac and smooth muscle cells, causing vasodilation and reduced heart workload | Calcium Channel Blockers | |
| Promote sodium and water excretion from kidneys, reducing blood volume and pressure | Diuretics | |
| Inhibit clotting factors (e.g., thrombin or factor Xa), preventing clot formation | Anticoagulants | |
| Interferes with the 1st step in the clotting process: platelet aggregation | Antiplatelet Agents | |
| Inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, reducing cholesterol synthesis in the liver | Statins | |
| Inhibit Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase pump, increasing intracellular calcium and improving cardiac contractility | Cardiac Glycosides | |
| Directly relax vascular smooth muscle, reducing systemic vascular resistance | Vasodilators | |
| Block neprilysin enzyme, increasing levels of natriuretic peptides that promote vasodilation and diuresis | Neprilysin Inhibitors | |
