   Anticoagulants: To prevent embolization.. Beta blockers: To block the effects of certain hormones on the heart to slow the heart rate.. Calcium Channel Blockers: Help slow the heart rate by blocking the number of electrical impulses that pass through the AV node into the lower heart chambers (ventricles).

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Myocardial_infarctions

   The most common symptoms of MI include crushing chest pain or pressure that might radiate up to the left arm or jaw, sweating, nausea, and dyspnea. Treatment of MI includes re-establishing blood flow using medications, angioplasty, or percutaneous coronary intervention. Underlying risk factors should be addressed for long term management.

4. Adenosine diphosphate receptor inhibitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_diphosphate...

   Adenosine diphosphate receptor inhibitors are a drug class of antiplatelet agents, used in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or in preventive treatment for patients who are in risk of thromboembolism, myocardial infarction or a stroke. These drugs antagonize the P2Y 12 platelet receptors and therefore prevent the binding of ADP to ...

   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

6. Reperfusion therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reperfusion_therapy

   Reperfusion therapy is a medical treatment to restore blood flow, either through or around, blocked arteries, typically after a heart attack (myocardial infarction (MI)). Reperfusion therapy includes drugs and surgery. The drugs are thrombolytics and fibrinolytics used in a process called thrombolysis.

7. Myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction

   A myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow decreases or stops in one of the coronary arteries of the heart, causing infarction (tissue death) to the heart muscle. [1] The most common symptom is retrosternal chest pain or discomfort that classically radiates to the left shoulder, arm, or jaw. [1]

8. Antiplatelet drug - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiplatelet_drug

   Antiplatelet drugs are widely used in primary and secondary prevention of thrombotic disease, especially myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. [1] Antiplatelet therapy with one or more of these drugs decreases the ability of blood clots to form by interfering with the platelet activation process in primary hemostasis. Antiplatelet drugs ...

9. Antianginal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antianginal

   An antianginal is a drug used in the treatment of angina pectoris, a symptom of ischaemic heart disease. Myocardial ischemia arises from the dysfunction of coronary macrovascular or microvascular components, leading to a compromised supply of oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium. The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms encompass a range ...
