- insufficiency or dysfunction of the heart muscle, violation of the rhythm of its contractions;
- atherosclerosis, ischemia;

List of drugs and their characteristics
Medicines for the treatment of the heart and blood vessels are divided into several categories:
- ACE inhibitors (Enalapril, Captopril, Perindopril). They regulate the production of angiotensin, which causes vasospasm and an increase in blood pressure. ACE blockers restore the tone of the capillary walls, accelerate metabolism, prevent the formation of blood clots, and normalize renal blood flow.
- Sartans (Lorista. Lozap, Mikardis). Replace ACE blockers if they are intolerant or contraindicated. They gently heal the kidneys, remove uric acid from the body.
- Beta-blockers (Nebilet, Konkor, Egilok). They are mainly used for ischemia, hyperthyroidism, chronic heart failure.
- Calcium antagonists (Verapamil, Amlodipine, Felodipine). They expand the lumen of blood vessels, which allows you to restore blood flow and reduce pressure, and also slow down the heart rate, reducing myocardial oxygen demand.
- Diuretics (Furosemide, Hydrochlorothiazide, Veroshpiron). Diuretics that remove excess fluid from the body are used in conjunction with the above agents as part of complex therapy.
- Antiarrhythmics (Flecainide, Digoxin. Sotalol). They normalize the heart rhythm and frequency of its contractions.
- Anticoagulants (Pradaxa, Warfarin, Eliquis). They regulate blood clotting and viscosity.
- Antiplatelet agents Block thrombus formation, act milder than anticoagulants. Can be taken continuously.
- Nitrates (Nitrosorbide, Nitroglycerin). Expand the lumen of blood vessels.
- Statins (Rosuvastatin, Simvastatin, Atorvastatin). They control the level of "bad" cholesterol, and are also prescribed after a heart attack, heart attack, operations on blood vessels and heart muscle.
