How do ACE inhibitors help in cardiovascular diseases?
- ACE inhibitors block the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, causing vasodilation, reduced blood pressure, and decreased workload on the heart.
What is the role of pharmacogenomics in cardiovascular therapy? Pharmacogenomics tailors cardiovascular drug therapy based on genetic profiles, improving efficacy and minimizing side effects.
What is cardiovascular pharmacology?
Cardiovascular pharmacology is the study of drugs that affect the heart and blood vessels, including their mechanisms, therapeutic uses, and side effects. How can drug interactions impact cardiovascular therapy?
Certain drugs (e.g., NSAIDs, diuretics, anticoagulants) may interact, altering drug effectiveness or increasing side effects, requiring careful monitoring.
