DRUGS(TREATMENT) BY:Rayana

AND CVD
 WHAT IS DONE FIRST
-So the person will go to hospital to check up or because they had a Pin somewhere so they just GOT
scared that their will be something wrong in their body.
-When patient has a sign of CVD there are many options of treatment that may take place.
-Before taking the drugs things like stop SMOKING, more exercise, changing in the lifestyle and
improving diet may HELP along with the drugs if the patients sate is dangerous (ooooo).
-DRUGS given to ppl will help in reducing the PAIN(if there was one) and also the the risk of CVD on
hear and blood vessels.
-The most coming risk is HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
SO:
 WHAT TO DO (DRUGS NAMES AND
INFO
-Antihypertensive:
ARE INCLUDED)
-They are group of Drugs that reduce blood pressure WHY that is important:? And how it is done?
1.Treatment start with DIURETICS(Increase the volume of urine produced which will help us get rid of excess
fluid and salts which decrease the volume of blood, so less blood going through. So a blood pressure will fall :0
2.Beta blockers: are medications that reduce your blood pressure. They work by blocking the effects of the
hormone called adrenaline. So they cause your heart to beat more slowly and with less force, which lowers
blood pressure. Beta blockers also help open up your veins and arteries to improve blood flow
3.sympathetic nerve inhibitors: It effect the SN system (Stimulate the arteries to constrict which raise blood
pressure, the thingy we DON’T NEED). The drug thingy INHIBITORs will help is preventing the signals going
to arteries which help keeping our arteries open in nice way and blood pressure lower.
4.ACE inhibitors: They block the production if ANGIOTENSIN(the bad ppl(HORMONES) who stimulate the
constriction of blood vessels), which resule of reducing th VESSELS constriction and keeping the blood
pressure LOW:0
THAT IS A LOT OF THINGS TO KNOW IN ONE CLASS FREAK
 THE PROS AND CONS OF THE
TREATMENT(DRUGS)
Pro(BENEFITS):
-The treatments REALLY make the blood pressure lower, which is the main thing we want.
-They reduce the risk of CVD and the damage of KIDNEYS and EYES from HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE
 CONS(BAD EFFECTS/DIS)

-IF they treatments aren’t carefully monitored they BP might be VERY low (ppl might:
-SIDE EFFCTS WILL COMEEE:
-the drugs patinas will take will ofc have a side effect and so before using any
drug and the treatment is judged to outweigh any side effects.
-side effects of this treatment are: coughs, swelling of the ankles, impotence,
tiredness and fatigue.
-the physiological effect that those drugs side effects give to the pations just make them ignore how HBP to can
Be Very risky to there body just bc they feel more ILL
 LOWERING THE LEVEL OF
CHOLESTEROL
Statins:
-They are group of drugs that reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood.
-They block the production of LDL(low-density-lipoproteins) which produced in the liver.
-Statins also improves th balance of LDL and HDL, which reduce the risk of atherosclerosis
developing.
-THEY mainly reduce the risk of the CVD.
 PROS AND CONS OF STATINS
PROS(adv)
-They are very useful when it come for it role (lCl)
-they are used because side effects are not that serious(but they look like it idk), muscles and joints aches and nausea,
constipation and diarrhea.
Cons(Dis)
-some ppl had a muscles inflammation which could have been fatal.
-They can also cause liver problems, but that is VERY RARE (bc out of 51741liver transplanted patients Only 3 ppl
had liver failure bc of statin)
-Some ppl will use statin to lower LDL level and so they don’t care about thoer diet and so they become ill bc of
other stuff.
 ANTICOAGULANTS AND
PLATELETS INHIBITORY DRUGS
After a heart surgery drugs re take to prevent the easy blood clotting.
-Warfarin is anticoagulant that interferes with the manufacture of prothrombin in the body. Low
prothrombin mean low chance of mistaken blood clotting.
-It is used o kill rat(rat poison)
-When it used by human the dose is monitored CAREFULLY so the blood clotting is reduce but not
completely Prevented.
-Platelets inhibitory drugs: the drug make the platelets less sticky and so reduce the ability of STRONG
clotting, ppl used the cheapest ones which are ASPIRIN and also some other ones called
CLOPIDOGREL is commonly used.
 THE RISK OF TAKING ASPIRIN
It irritates the stomach lining which cause a serious BLEEDING OMGG:0
The combination of ASPIRIN and COLPIDOGREL can reduce the risk CVD by 20-25% in low risk
patients, however when the two drugs are combined the side effects are ALOT
