Cardiac Medications

Meaning

Cardiac Medications constitute a broad category of pharmacological agents specifically employed to treat, manage, or prevent various pathologies affecting the heart and the entire vascular network. These therapeutics are designed to influence core cardiovascular functions, including myocardial contractility, heart rate, and systemic vascular resistance. In clinical practice, endocrinologists must carefully consider these agents due to the extensive crosstalk between hormonal systems and cardiovascular physiology.
