42
Q

How do CYP inducers affect Verapamil, Diltiazem

A

Reduce their levels

43
Q

How do Di CCB’s reduce MvO2

A

Vasodilation = Reduced afterload

44
Q

How do Non-Di CCB’s reduce MvO2

A

Reduce heart work (demand)

45
Q

How does increased Diastole affect coronary perfusion?

A

Increases

46
