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.

Calcium channel blockers and dementia [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 2013 Degenerative dementia is mainly caused by Alzheimer's disease and/or cerebrovascular abnormalities. Disturbance of the intracellular calcium homeostasis is central to the pathophysiology of neurodegeneration. In Alzheimer's disease, enhanced calcium load may be brought about by extracellular accumulation of amyloid‐β.
