| Classification | Generic(Trade) | Action | N I | Side Effects |
| Vasopressors | Dopamine(intropin) | Raise systemic arterial pressure and cardiac output | vasopressor | |
| Thrombolytic agents | Streptokinase(streptase) | Restore blood flow and limit infarct size, dissolution of blood clots, W/acute MI symptoms are less than 6 hours, preferably 30 minutes to 1 hour duration | Thrombolytic agents | |
| Nitrates | Nitroglycerin
isosorbide
atenolol(Tenormin) | Daily blood vessels by reducing coronary artery spasms, increase coronary artery blood supply, and decrease oxygen demands | Monitor blood pressure for hypertension, monitor for headache and flushing | |
| Beta-adrenergic blockers LOL | Propranolol (Inderal)
Nadolol(Corgard)
Metoprolol(Lopressor) | Block b-a stimulation and decrease myocardial oxygen demands, decreasing myocardial damage; decreased mortality rates | | |

| Inotropic agents
Cardiac Glycosides | Digoxin(Lanoxin)
Amrinone(inocor) IV
dobutamine(dobutrex) | Increase the heart's pumping action (contractility through the AV node) indicates when left ventricle failure is present, slows HR | | |
| Anticoagulant | Heparin
warfarin(Coumadin) | Reduced incidence of clotting | | |
| Angiotensin-converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitors PRIL | Captopril(Capoten)
Enalapril(Vasotec) | Prevent conversion of angiotensin I - lowers BP to angiotensin II raises BP prevent or slow the progression of HF | | |
