Antiarrhythmic agents - group of pharmaceuticals that are used to suppress abnormally fast rhythms (tachycardias), such as atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia.
- Type I (sodium channel blockers)
  - Type Ia
  - Type Ib
    - Lidocaine
    - Phenytoin
  - Type Ic
- Type II (beta blockers)
- Type III (potassium channel blockers)
- Type IV (slow calcium channel blockers)
  - Diltiazem
  - Verapamil
- Type V
  - Adenosine
  - Digoxin
ACE inhibitors^[1] - class of antihypertensives that work by causing relaxation of blood vessels as well as a decrease in blood volume, which leads to lower blood pressure and decreased oxygen demand from the heart.
- Benazepril
- Captopril
- Enalapril
- Fosinopril
- Lisinopril
- Moexipril
- Perindopril
- Quinapril
- Ramipril
- Trandolapril
Alpha blockers:
Angiotensin II receptor antagonists - class of antihypertensives that bind to and inhibit the angiotensin II receptor type 1 and thereby block the arteriolar contraction and sodium retention effects of renin–angiotensin system.
