Скачать или смотреть 1.5 Hours of Blood Pressure Medications Explained for Sleep Listening

High blood pressure medications can feel like a blur of names, but their underlying logic is structured and interconnected. This long-form educational episode explains how major antihypertensive drug classes work inside the body, including angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and diuretics.

This video explains the body’s blood pressure regulation system in plain language, then shows how different drug classes interact with that system in distinct ways. It covers angiotensin signaling, vascular relaxation, heart rate control, and fluid balance, along with historical development, pharmacology concepts, and key differences between medication classes.

The episode also explores why certain medications cause specific side effects, how manufacturing recalls influenced regulatory oversight, and how drug selectivity and tissue distribution affect therapeutic effects.

This channel provides calm, long-form educational pharmacology content designed for relaxed listening, background learning, and clear understanding.
