Cardiovascular drugs and dental considerations

Journal of the California Dental Association

Abstract

This paper provides current information on the pharmacologic management of cardiovascular diseases. It also describes the drugs used to treat five common cardiovascular disorders--heart failure, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and unstable angina--and lists their dental implications. This information can be used to monitor patients for potential adverse drug reactions and drug interactions and to provide an information base for medical consultation.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
