Vasodilators
Vasodilators help widen, or dilate, blood vessels.
This reduces blood pressure and makes it easier for the heart
to pump blood.
When you have heart failure your heart does not pump as
well opening narrowed blood vessels is important.
This reduces how hard your heart needs to work.
It may help keep blood from backing up in your heart and
lungs.
