Cardiovascular drugs and dental considerations.
This paper provides current information on the pharmacologic management of cardiovascular diseases. It also describes the drugs used to treat five common cardiovascular disorders--heart failure, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and unstable angina--and lists their dental implications. This information can be used to monitor patients for potential adverse drug reactions and drug interactions and to provide an information base for medical consultation.
