Calcium Channel Blockers and Hypertension
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2014 Effective treatment of high blood pressure (BP) represents a key strategy for reducing the burden of hypertension-related cardiovascular and renal diseases. In spite of these well-established concepts, hypertension remains poorly controlled worldwide.
