Progress on Medications for Myocardial Ischemia

Myocardial ischemia is viewed as a condition in which coronary flow is insufficient,resulting in the lack of myocardial oxygen supply and impaired removal of metabolic products.Anti-ischemic drugs can reduce angina by decreasing myocardial oxygen demand or increasing oxygen supply.The commonly used anti-ischemic drugs include nitrates,βblockers and myocardial metabolism drugs.The choices of applicable drugs clinically depend on the patient′s situation.
