Examples of how heart disease can be managed:
- Diuretics:
increase urinary output, removing excess fluid from the body;
this reduces the strain on the heart and lowers the blood pressure
- ACE
inhibitors: reduce the workload of the heart
- Beta-blocking
agents: slow down the heart rate and make the heart work
more efficiently
- Digitalis:
increases the strength of the heart muscle and thus improves
the performance of the heart
