What are blood vessel dilators?
-
American Heart Association answered:Blood vessel dilators, also called vasodilators, are drugs that cause the blood vessels (especially the arterioles) to expand by relaxing their muscular walls. This lowers blood pressure and reduces the heart's workload. ACE inhibitors and nitroglycerine are examples of vasodilators.

SCAI answered:Vasodilators are medications that reduce blood pressure by causing the blood vessels in the body to dilate, which lowers the pressure of blood flow against the artery walls. In addition to being prescribed for patients with high blood pressure, vasodilators are also prescribed for patients who are at risk for heart failure.
Examples of Vasodilators:
hydralazine (Apresoline)
minoxidil (Linoten)
