Calcium-channel blockers - what does this mean
Calcium-channel blockers are medications used to treat high blood pressure and other cardiovascular conditions. they work by blocking the entry of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels, which helps to reduce the force of contraction of the heart and relaxes the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more freely and reducing blood pressure.
What happens during the disease - calcium-channel blockers
Calcium-channel blockers are drugs that block the influx of calcium ions into cells. this action reduces the contractility of smooth muscle cells, which can lead to a decrease in blood pressure, heart rate, and other symptoms associated with the disease. the decrease in calcium ions also affects the release of neurotransmitters from neurons, which can cause a variety of neurological symptoms. additionally, calcium-channel blockers can affect the release of hormones from the endocrine system, leading to a variety of endocrine-related symptoms.
