Application(s)
|
Coronary vasodilator
|
Application(s)
|
Antihypertensive agent
|
Mechanism of Action
|
Calcium channel antagonist
|
Mechanism of Action
|
By deforming the channel, inhibiting ion-control gating mechanisms, and/or interfering with the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum
|
Mechanism of Action
|
inhibits the influx of extracellular calcium across the myocardial and vascular smooth muscle cell membranes.
|
Mechanism of Action
|
The decrease in intracellular calcium inhibits the contractile processes of the myocardial smooth muscle cells,
|
Mechanism of Action
|
causing dilation of the coronary and systemic arteries, increased oxygen delivery to the myocardial tissue,
|
Mechanism of Action
|
decreased total peripheral resistance, decreased systemic blood pressure, and decreased afterload
