Calcium Channel Antagonists in the Treatment of Hypertension

American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs, 2002
Calcium channel antagonists are widely used antihypertensive agents. Their popularity among primary care physicians is not only due to their blood pressure-lowering effects, but also because they appear to be effective regardless of the age or ethnic background of the patients.

Calcium channel blockers in treatment of hypertension

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2001
Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are among the most often prescribed drugs for the treatment of hypertension, but there is still uncertainty regarding the risks and benefits of their use as first-line drugs in the treatment of hypertension. Compared with placebo, dihydropyridine CCBs (long-acting nifedipine and nitrendipine) reduce the risk for ...

Calcium Channel Antagonists and the Treatment of Migraine

Clinical Neuropharmacology, 1986
Despite ongoing dispute over the pathophysiologic basis of migraine, the vasospastic theory of pathogenesis has brought to the forefront a promising class of new antimigraine agents, the Ca2+ channel antagonists. Voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, integral membrane proteins that permit extracellular Ca2+ to enter cells down their electrical and ...

Treatment of Acute Stroke with Calcium Antagonists

European Neurology, 1990
Medical treatment in acute stroke is probably more successful when started rapidly after the onset of symptoms. Therefore a drug is necessary which can be applied by the first physician prior to the diagnosis ischaemic versus haemorrhagic stroke by means of imaging methods.

Calcium Channel Antagonists in the Treatment of Asthma

Journal of Asthma, 1984
The pathophysiologic processes that contribute to airway obstruction in asthma involve Ca2+-dependent excitation-contraction and stimulus-secretion coupling mechanisms. The emergence of new compounds that specifically inhibit Ca2+ flux across membrane ionic channels has stimulated widespread interest in the therapeutic potential of these agents in ...

Calcium channel blockers in the treatment of disease

Journal of Neuroscience Research, 2004
AbstractOver the last 20 years the combination of patch clamp and molecular biology techniques have resulted in an explosion in our knowledge of the different calcium channel types and their roles in physiology. A crucial component to this advance has been the discovery of specific blockers for different calcium channel types.

Calcium Entry Blockers in the Treatment of Vertigo

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1988
Few calcium entry blockers have been studied in the treatment of vertigo. Flunarizine and cinnarizine are the most extensively studied substances. They have been shown to be valuable drugs in the therapeutic approach to vertigo. A few pilot studies have been performed with nimodipine but controlled data are lacking.

A Critical Evaluation of Treatment of Calcium Stones

1980
Although various treatment programs have been introduced for the medical management of calcium urolithiasis, their therapeutic efficacy has been difficult to appraise critically, because of failure to define clearly indications for treatment, limited double-blind clinical trials and over-reliance on retrospective stone history. However, recent progress
