What medications are used to prevent cigarette smoking-induced coronary vasoconstriction in atherosclerotic coronary artery disease?
Medications used to prevent cigarette smoking-induced coronary vasoconstriction in atherosclerotic coronary artery disease include calcium antagonists and nitroglycerin. Calcium antagonists work by blocking calcium from entering the cells of the heart and blood vessel walls, while nitroglycerin helps to widen the blood vessels and reduce the workload of the heart.
