This chapter covers drugs affecting the cardiovascular system in three distinct sections. Firstly we discuss antihypertensive agents, those used in anaesthesia and critical care, and those used in the community. We then go on to discuss antiarrhythmic agents and the Vaughan-Williams classification, with additional focus on digoxin and amiodarone. Finally we discuss inotropic and vasopressor drugs, both essential knowledge for the exam and clinical practice.
