Coronary vasodilators, not elsewhere classified - what does this mean

Coronary vasodilators, not elsewhere classified are a group of drugs that act on the coronary arteries to relax them and increase blood flow to the heart, thus improving oxygen supply to the heart muscle. they act by blocking the action of certain hormones or by blocking calcium channels, leading to relaxation of the smooth muscle cells in the walls of the coronary arteries.

What happens during the disease - coronary vasodilators, not elsewhere classified

Coronary vasodilators are medications that work to relax and widen the coronary arteries, allowing for increased blood flow. this increased blood flow helps to reduce the workload of the heart, and helps to reduce the risk of developing coronary artery disease. the mechanism of action of these medications is to activate the enzyme guanylate cyclase, which in turn increases the levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cgmp). this increase in cgmp helps to cause the relaxation of the smooth muscle cells in the walls of the coronary arteries, resulting in vasodilation and improved blood flow.
