The best pills from the heart: list, comparison and reviews

In this article, we will consider the most popular and effective pills from the heart.

In the treatment of heart diseases and vascular pathologies, medications of several pharmacological groups are used: drugs to normalize the myocardium, medicines that restore sinus rhythms, as well as cardiac glycosides, statins, ACE inhibitors and aldosterone antagonists.

In all cases, all of the above funds can not be selected for yourself, since this can negatively affect the activity of the heart and lead to very dangerous conditions, up to a fatal outcome. When symptoms of a cardiovascular disease appear, it is necessary to undergo certain diagnostic procedures, after which the specialist will prescribe those drugs that are suitable for a particular patient with his pathology.

Varieties of cardiac medications

The following medicines are included in the list of heart pills:

• Beta blockers.
• Aldosterone antagonists.
• ACE inhibitors.
• Ca ++ channel blockers.
• Cardiac glycosides.
• Diuretics.

The names of the tablets from the heart are given below.

What are ACE inhibitors?

These drugs are vital drugs that are used in combination therapy simultaneously with calcium antagonists and diuretics.

The list of ACE inhibitors prescribed to strengthen blood vessels and normalize the functioning of the heart muscle includes tablets, medicines in the form of injectable solutions and drops from the heart:

• with enalapril: “Enap”, “Renipril”, “Renitek”;
• with captopril: “Angiopril”, “Kapoten”;
• with lisinopril: "Lysigamma", "Diroton";
• with ramipril: Amprilan, Pyramil.

Heart pills for heart failure therapy are:

• "Fozinap", "Monopril" - medicines based on fosinopril;
• "Peristar", "Stopress" - based on perindopril;
• Quadropril is based on spirapril.

The strengthening effect of ACE inhibitors

The strengthening effect of ACE inhibitors on the heart muscle due to increased blood flow and normalization of glucose uptake has been proven. Combined drugs with ACE inhibitors, potassium antagonists and diuretics help stabilize blood pressure during hypertension and eliminate high risks of death.

The list of ACE inhibitors + diuretics includes:

• "Caposide";
• "Fosicard N";
• Enap N;
• "Noliprel A";
• "Co-Diroton."

These names of pills from the heart are by ear.

ACE inhibitors + calcium antagonists:

• "Equacard";
• Enap L Combi;
• Triapin.

Ca ++ channel blockers

Medicines from the category of Ca ++ channel blockers are prescribed in the treatment of heart failure, ischemia and cardiac arrhythmia.

These medicines include:

• 1st generation drugs: Verapamil, Nifedipine;
• 2nd generation medicines: Nimodipine, Gallopamil, Felodipine, Tiapamil;
• 3rd generation drugs: Amlodipine, Lacidipine, Lercanidipine.

Beta blockers

Heart pills from this pharmacological category are used in the treatment of heart failure with high blood pressure. These drugs come in two main varieties:

• non-selective ("Propranolol") - affect beta 2 and beta 1 - adrenergic receptors;
• selective (“Atenolol”, “Metoprolol”) - I act only on beta1 - adrenergic receptors and on some myocardial receptors.

In the treatment of cardiac pathologies, beta1-blockers are mainly used. They are prescribed for heart failure of a chronic nature and to improve the condition of the heart muscle.

The names of pills for cardiac arrhythmias are of interest to many.

Highly effective are such medical products as Bisoprolol and Metoprolol and their analogues - Betalok, Vazokardin, Corvitol, Egilok. They are prescribed, as a rule, for pain in the region of the heart with ischemia, myocardial infarction, and tachycardia.

There are other pills for the heart and blood vessels.

Thrombolytic drugs

For some cardiac pathologies, drugs are prescribed that reduce the risk of blood clots. They are designed to reduce blood viscosity, which provokes blood clots. In this case, patients are recommended to take such funds daily. These include the well-known medicine - acetylsalicylic acid.

A fairly safe medication for daily use containing aspirin is the cardiomagnyl medicine. In addition to acetylsalicylic acid, magnesium hydroxide is present in its composition, which protects the gastric mucosa from the harmful effects of aspirin.

This medication is prescribed for the treatment of heart disease in the second trimester of pregnancy, with diabetes, increased weight, in old age, as well as in the prevention of repeated heart attacks.

What other pills from the heart can be prescribed?

Nitrates

With ischemia, medications from the category of nitrates normalizing the work of the heart are used. Acceptance of Nitroglycerin tablets under the tongue helps to relieve angina attacks within five minutes, relieving severe pain in the heart.

However, these pills will be useless if the pain is caused by a non-cardiac cause, and, for example, intercostal neuralgia, from which painkillers are used.

Nitrates contribute to the expansion of peripheral veins, reduce blood flow to the myocardium and its oxygen demand. These drugs have an antiplatelet effect, which significantly reduces the risk of clogging of blood vessels by blood clots.

Antiplatelet activity, the speed of exposure allows the use of medications of this group for the treatment and maintenance of the heart in old age.

Below are pills for heart pain.

With severe pain in the heart

With severe pain, they resort to the use of the following medicines:

• "Nitroglycerine";
• "Sustak";
• "Nitrokor";
• Cardicet;
• Pentrol
• Pentacard
• "Monosan."

Metabolic drugs

Heart treatment with pills is very effective. To maintain the functionality of the organ, medications with a cardioprotective effect are used, the list of which includes:

• "Inosine";
• "Coenzyme Q10";
• "Cocarboxylase";
• "L-carnitine";
• Pergexilin;
• "Meldonium";
• "Ranolazine";
• "Phosphocreatine";
• "Trimetazidine";
• Ethomoxir.

Cardioprotectors are widely used as sports supplements. However, you must be aware that this affects the work of the heart, and you should take such funds with extreme caution.

If the heart needs support, it is better to choose not the medicines that look beautiful in the pharmacy window, but those prescribed by the doctor to eliminate heart pain or prevent the disease.

Medicines that are used to support the heart have a number of side effects that, if applied for a long time without specialist supervision, can, for example, disrupt the digestive system (“Levocarnitine”).

Successfully used to treat acute heart attack, ischemia, heart failure, the drug "Trimetazidine". It is prescribed to maintain contractile function of the heart and myocardial nutrition, as well as for the prevention of angina pectoris. The analogues of this drug are:

• "Trimetazidine Teva";
• "Vero Trimetazidine";
• "Preducted";
• Carditrim
• "Trimektal."

In addition to pills for heart arrhythmias and pain, drops are used.

Drops from the heart

If severe pain in the heart occurs, the following medicines in the form of drops are used:

• "Tricardin";
• "Herbion";
• Cardomed
• Corvalol;
• "Valocordin."

Drops in no case can not be taken uncontrollably and appoint them yourself. With prolonged use, addiction to them develops, which contributes to a gradual increase in the dosage of the drug, which, in turn, creates a greater likelihood of an overdose.

Preparations for the treatment of heart in the elderly

In addition to correcting heart problems, older people are prescribed medications to support the heart:

• Atorvastin;
• "Rosuvastin";
• "Aspirin";
• "Ticagrelol";
• "Clopidogrel";
• Coraxan
• "Bisoprolol";
• "Cardevilol";
• "Metaprolol."

To eliminate tachycardia, beta-blockers and drugs based on ivabradine - a blocker of f channels of the sinus nodes are prescribed. These medications affect the functioning of the sinus node and have a selective effect on cells that generate impulses that set the heart rate.

Prescribing such drugs reduces the risk of negative consequences. To strengthen the heart, drugs are used in tablets, for example, Trimetazidine, Riboxin, Asparkam.

Long-acting nitrates are prescribed to people in old age:

• "Karvazin";
• Coronex
• "Nitrosorbide";
• "Monoket";
• "Medocor";
• Pentacard.

Membrane stabilizing agents

Medicines that are sodium channel blockers are called membrane stabilizing agents. They increase the resistance of cells to extraneous effects and stimulation, as a result of which the period of cell contraction is shortened, they become less excited. This is the second class of medications, which is the most numerous. It is divided into three categories:

• drugs that do not affect the speed of impulses: "Lidocaine", "Tokainid", "Phenytoin", "Mexitil", "Caten";
• medicines that help slow down impulses: "Rhythmylene", "Aimalin", "Novokainamid", "procainamide", "Quinidine";
• medicines that significantly slow down the impulses: “Propanorm”, “Allapinin”, “Rhythmorm”, “Etatsizin”, “Bonnecor”, “Flecainide”, “Etmozin”.
  

Comparison of heart medicine

There are a lot of medicines for the heart and they all act in different directions and are prescribed for a variety of pathologies of the cardiovascular system. It is impossible to say which medication is better, but there are drugs that are in higher demand compared to the rest. Among the drops from the heart, the most popular is Valocordin, it is used by almost all patients suffering from heart pathologies.

Among the nitrates, the most popular drug is Nitroglycerin, which has been known for a long time, it is one of the first medicines of this pharmacological group.

If we talk about ACE inhibitors, then among them we can distinguish such drugs as Enap and Angiopril, which are prescribed more often and have a faster effect compared to the Kapoten and Diroton medicines.

Cardiac Reviews

Almost 80% of modern people in old age suffer from a variety of diseases and disorders in the functioning of the heart, which are somehow related to the gradual wear of this organ. At a young age, cardiac pathologies are most often the result of abuse of bad habits, the presence of concomitant diseases and many other factors.

As a teenager, sometimes the song “I have a hole in my heart, I need a pill” is taken literally. This entails hypochondriacal disorders, panic attacks, etc.

Reviews of patients about medications from the heart are very diverse. Separately, they note the drug “Cardiomagnyl,” which in modern medicine is prescribed for almost all, both young and elderly patients, not only for the treatment of certain pathologies, but also for the prevention of conditions that can provoke the development of certain heart diseases.

Good reviews are available about such heart remedies as Coronex, Bisoprolol, Tricardin, and Meldonium. Patients say that these drugs helped them significantly normalize the work of the heart, get rid of pain in the chest, tachycardia, arrhythmia and many other pathological phenomena. The reviews also say that these drugs, unlike many other medicine for the heart, very rarely cause negative side effects and are well tolerated even in the presence of concomitant diseases of the digestive system.

Reviews of experts about heart drugs are very mixed. Doctors say that if you have heart ailments, you should not neglect medical care and in no case should you use heart medications yourself, as this can lead to extremely dangerous consequences, including death.
