Cardiac

Antiplatelet agents:

• These medications, like aspirin and clopidogrel, help prevent blood clots by inhibiting platelet aggregation.

• ACE inhibitors:

  These drugs, such as ramipril, help relax blood vessels and reduce blood pressure by blocking the production of a hormone that constricts them.

• Beta-blockers:

  Medications like metoprolol and bisoprolol help lower heart rate and blood pressure by blocking the effects of adrenaline.

• Calcium channel blockers:

  Drugs like amlodipine help relax blood vessels and reduce blood pressure by blocking calcium from entering cells.

• Cholesterol-lowering medications:

  Statins, such as atorvastatin, help reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels, which can contribute to heart disease.

• Diuretics:

  Medications like torsemide help remove excess fluid and sodium from the body, reducing blood pressure.

• Anticoagulants:

  These medications, such as warfarin, help prevent blood clots by interfering with the body's clotting mechanism.

Medical Devices:

• Pacemakers:

  These devices are implanted to regulate heart rhythm in individuals with slow or irregular heartbeats.

• Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs):

  These devices deliver electrical shocks to correct life-threatening heart rhythms.

• Catheters:

  These flexible tubes are used for various procedures, including angioplasty, where they are used to open blocked arteries.

• Stents:

  These small mesh tubes are inserted into arteries to keep them open after angioplasty.

• Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs):

  These devices help the heart pump blood in individuals with severe heart failure.

• Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices:

  These devices help coordinate the heart's contractions in individuals with heart failure.

Other Cardiac Products:

• Atherectomy systems:

  These devices remove plaque buildup from arteries.

• Intravascular imaging systems:

  These systems allow doctors to visualize the inside of blood vessels during procedures.

• Vascular plugs:

  These devices are used to close off blood vessels during certain procedures.

• Transcatheter valve solutions:

  These are used to replace or repair heart valves using a catheter-based approach.
