Cardiovascular pharmacology is involved with the treatment of cardiac diseases. Cardiac drugs are used to treat conditions related to the heart, the circulatory system, or vascular biology. There are numerous types of cardiovascular agents available to treat various cardiovascular conditions. Sodium, potassium, calcium channel blockers, ACE-inhibitors and cardiac biomarkers are the most commonly used subcategory drugs. In the United States, there are primarily six associations and societies, with the main association for Cardiac Therapeutic agents being the American Heart Association. Cardiac Therapeutic Agents are being researched at 50 universities. In 2015, three new drugs were introduced. Cardiac glycosides, anti-coagulants, anti-arrhythmic agents, anti-anginal agents, and anti-hypertensive agents are among the many types of cardiovascular drugs available on the market.
