Heart Failure, Angina and Arrhythmia

About these heart medicines

This group covers medicines that support a weakened heart or control its rhythm. Ivabradine (Coralan) slows the heart rate in heart failure and angina, digoxin (Lanoxin) is used in heart failure and atrial fibrillation, and amiodarone (Tachyra) treats serious rhythm problems. Nitroglycerin relieves angina attacks, trimetazidine is used for angina prevention, and eplerenone helps in heart failure.

These are specialist medicines that need regular monitoring, so only use them as part of a treatment plan from a cardiologist or your doctor.
