Other antianginal drugs
Stable angina usually results from atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries. This restricts blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart. Stable angina is often precipitated by exertion and relieved by rest.
Stable angina medications include nitrates (the drugs of choice), calcium-channel blockers (CCBs), beta-blockers and potassium channel activators. These drug families have vasodilatory effects which reduce blood pressure. Arteriolar dilatation reduces peripheral vascular resistance and left ventricular pressure during systole resulting in improved cardiac output.
