Cardiac Medications
Across
- 4. – A antiarrhythmic. It works by blocking sodium channels
- 6. – Used to lower the risk of having a stroke, blood clot, or serious heart problems after a heart attack, severe chest pain (angina), or circulation problems.
- 7. – Vasopressors induce vasoconstriction and increase mean arterial pressure (MAP). Inotropes increase cardiac contractile force.
- 10. – A calcium channel blocker that blocks calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle, leading to vasodilation.
- 11. – Used to treat and prevent blood clots caused by certain medical conditions or procedures.
- 12. – An anticoagulant medication.
- 13. – A diuretic that blocks aldosterone, reduces electrolyte reabsorption, and decreases blood volume, thereby lowering blood pressure.
- 14. – A Beta-adrenergic blocking agent. These drugs inhibit the effect of adrenaline on the heart and blood vessels. They lower the heart rate and reduce blood pressure.
Down
- 1. – A calcium channel blocker. These drugs slow the heart rate and lower blood pressure.
- 2. – Hypolipidemic medication used to lower cholesterol levels.
- 3. – Antianginal medication that acts as a vascular smooth muscle relaxant.
- 5. – Antiplatelet medication used to prevent blood clots.
- 8. – A potassium channel blocker that decreases heart rate by reducing conduction velocity through the AV node.
- 9. – A medication used for controlling heart rhythm.
