Calcium channel blockers, organic nitrates, and beta blockers are all used to treat angina by various mechanisms such as dilating blood vessels, reducing heart workload, and improving blood and oxygen supply to the heart muscle. Alpha blockers are primarily used for hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia, not directly for angina. Diuretics are used to reduce fluid volume in conditions like hypertension and heart failure, but are not a primary treatment for angina.
