Calcium Channel Blockers, oral

Oral calcium channel blockers are a widely prescribed cardiovascular drug class comprising orally administered dihydropyridine and non-dihydropyridine agents

Oral calcium channel blockers are a widely prescribed cardiovascular drug class comprising orally administered dihydropyridine and non-dihydropyridine agents Clinically, these agents are major first-line therapies for essential hypertension and are extensively utilized in the long-term management of chronic stable angina, vasospastic angina, and select supraventricular tachyarrhythmias

They function primarily by inhibiting the influx of extracellular calcium ions through voltage-gated L-type calcium channels into vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiac myocytes, leading to peripheral and coronary vasodilation as well as reductions in myocardial contractility and cardiac conduction
