There are numerous medications for treating cardiovascular diseases, commonly including antiplatelet agents, lipid-lowering drugs, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Additionally, beta-blockers and antihypertensive drugs may also be used in patients with cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, cardiovascular diseases encompass infectious myocarditis and endocardial disorders, which are typically treated with antibiotics, along with myocardial-nourishing agents such as trimetazidine and coenzyme Q10.
