2. Beta blocker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_blocker

   Beta blockers are indicated for the treatment of acute myocardial infarctions. During a myocardial infarction, systemic stress causes an increase in circulating catecholamines. [22] [23] This results an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, therefore increasing myocardial oxygen demand.

   A β-blocker therapy is also useful in myocardial infarction, independent to heart failure. The therapy has been very helpful for high-risk patients. [ 22 ] Although beta-blockers effectively lower blood pressure, they are not recommended as a first-line agent in the treatment of hypertension, as thiazides diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and calcium ...

4. Adrenergic blocking agent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenergic_blocking_agent

   Myocardial infarction (heart attack) Since beta 1 receptor are mainly located in the heart, most beta 1 blockers take abnormalities associated with the heart as the target. [5] It treats medical conditions like hypertension, arrhythmias, heart failure, chest pain, myocardial infarction.

   The International Studies of Infarct Survival (ISIS) were four randomized controlled trials of several drugs for treating suspected acute myocardial infarction ("heart attack"). More than 134,000 patients from over 20 countries took part in four large simple trials between 1981 and 1993, coordinated from Oxford, England. [1] [2]

   Class Ib drugs shorten the action potential of myocardial cell and has a weak effect on the initiation of phase 0 of depolarization Treat and prevent ventricular arrhythmia during and immediately after myocardial infarction, though this is now discouraged given the increased risk of asystole; Ic Encainide; Flecainide; Moricizine; Propafenone

   In particular, beta-blockers with intrinsic sympathomimetic activity are contraindicated in patients with myocardial infarction, heart failure or severe bradycardia. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] Beta-blockers should be used with caution in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) due to bronchoconstriction, and in patients with ...

   Antiarrhythmic agents are typically only given to individuals with life-threatening arrhythmias after a myocardial infarction and not to suppress the ventricular ectopy that is often seen after a myocardial infarction. [57] [58] [59] Cardiac rehabilitation aims to optimize function and quality of life in those affected by a heart disease. This ...

   A number of different medications are required for people who are experiencing heart failure. Common types of medications that are prescribed for heart failure patients include ACE inhibitors, vasodilators, beta blockers, aspirin, calcium channel blockers, and cholesterol lowering medications such as statins. Depending on the type of damage a ...
