The
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) continue to be a leading global health
challenge, requiring innovative pharmacological strategies for effective
management. Recent advancements in medication use for CVD focus on integrating
novel therapeutic agents, refining guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT),
and addressing treatment disparities. The Recent approval of Semaglutide for
weight management in cardiovascular patients highlights the importance of
obesity control in reducing cardiovascular risks. Innovations such as
sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and angiotensin
receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs) have redefined heart failure management,
improving morbidity and mortality outcomes. Despite these advances, gaps in
care persist, particularly in the under treatment of women with coronary artery
disease and the inappropriate use of Aspirin for primary prevention in older
adults. Comprehensive pharmacotherapy now emphasizes tailored combinations of
antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants, statins, and blood pressure-lowering
medications. Emerging therapies, including chelation therapy, hold potential
but require further validation.
