Abstract:
Calcium inhibitors decrease blood pressure and improve different functional and structural cardiovascular parameters of heart and vessels. Thus different calcium antagonists lead to variable changes of cardiac flow with reduction of cardiac hypertrophy and modifications of heart rate and inotropism. Their peripheral action on large arteries and arterioles can create a vasodilation with elevation of blood velocity and flow. An improvement in arterial and venous compliance is also observed.
