Beta-blocker and alpha-blocker definition
block the fight-or-flight response in our bodies that triggers increased heart rate, increased force of contraction of the heart, and increased blood pressure. They lower the heart rate and blood pressure to treat HYPERTENSION
Calcium channel blockers definition
Prevent calcium from entering the cells of the heart and blood vessel walls. Because calcium is needed for muscle contraction, calcium channel blockers reduce the force of contraction of the heart and muscles surrounding blood vessels, RESULTING IN LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE
ACE Inhibitors Definition
block angiotensin-converting enzyme, which is responsible for producing a substance called angiotensin II, which narrows blood vessels and helps our bodies retain water, which leads to a rise in blood pressure. It prevents this rise.
Diuretics definition
decrease the volume of blood by promoting water loss in the urine. THIS RESULTS IN A LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE
