Somewhere on this site, I saw a list of cardiovascular drugs that included ACE's, Beta Blockers, Ca+ Channel blockers that everyone should know. I cannot find it! It was one of the nicest things I've seen.

Does anyone recall where it is? I'm in tele for clinical rotations and would like to have it to look over.

there is a great drug list if you click here and scroll down to post 104. i hope it helps!

here are other links where you can find information on cardiovascular drugs:

  • http://rnbob.tripod.com/ - nurse bob's micu/ccu survival guide. click on the link, "section 14-medications in critical care"
  • http://lysine.pharm.utah.edu/netpharm/ - net pharmacy from the university of utah. this is a tutorial on cardiovascular drugs. click on the link "drug list". the beta blockers and calcium channel blockers are under the antiarrhythmics. ace inhibitors and more channel blockers are under the antihypertensives. in fact, i would just explore all the links!
  • http://www.pharmacology2000.com/learning2.htm - an online "textbook" of pharmacology - this is a site for pharmacy students. explore the links on adrenergics, cholinergics, antiarrhythmics, antianginals, and management of congestive heart failure. the various drugs used are included in them along with mechanism of action. at the bottom in the special topics area are links to pages with overviews of the cardiovascular system and congestive heart failure (pathophysiology). this site may be a little difficult reading at first, but the information is basic pharmacology. i used it to supplement what was in my pharmacology book when i had to retake a pharmacology class for my health information management course this past year.
