Cardiac Medications
In some cases, doctors prescribe medication to cure severe cases of myocarditis. In these cases, the heart muscle malfunctions and prompt the heart to work to forcefully fulfill its role. Non-stop delivery of oxygen and nutrients can be affected by this. Therefore, cardiac medications are prescribed to lessen the amount of work the heart does. Examples of cardiac medications are beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, cardiac inotropes, benazepril, captopril, and enalapril.
The said medications are effective in treating myocarditis. These medications are known as heart rate-lowering treatments. Keeping the heart rate regular is beneficial to the heart muscle. It doesn’t strain and makes the muscles feel fatigued. The myocardium works non-stop, and its involuntary movement makes the heart pump. Certain medications reduce fatigue and strain in the heart muscle, preventing myocarditis. These medicines can also remove the excess fluid that worsens the inflammation of the heart muscle. It directly affects the alleviation of myocarditis.
