Calcium Antagonists: A Diverse Family of Medications

The field of cardiology is constantly developing new medications and strategies to manage cardiovascular diseases. This review examines the pharmacological properties of different types of calcium antagonists, a class of medications that block calcium channels, affecting heart rate, blood pressure, and other cardiovascular functions.

The authors provide a comprehensive overview of the three main groups of calcium antagonists: phenylalkylamines, dihydropyridines, and benzothiazepines. They discuss the pharmacological profiles of each group, highlighting their similarities and differences. The review also explores the development of newer calcium antagonists, which tend to have longer durations of action and potentially useful extra components, like diuretic or anti-atherogenic activity.

This review provides valuable information for healthcare professionals involved in cardiovascular care, helping them understand the various types of calcium antagonists and their potential applications in managing cardiovascular diseases.
