Treatment Options For Coronary Heart Disease

Medications

Some medications can reduce the effects of coronary heart disease. These include:

– Nitroglycerin: This medication can widen your blood arteries, alleviate chest pain, and lower the demand of the heart for blood. It is available in the form of tablets, sprays, and patches.

– Beta-blockers: Your doctor might prescribe this drug to stabilize heart rate and blood pressure, particularly in those who have a history of a heart attack.

– Calcium channel blockers: The drug can widen your coronary arteries to relieve hypertension and improve blood flow to your heart. [9]
