calcium channel blocker mechanism
block L-type Ca channels
-cardiac myocyte and SA and AV nodal cells
decreased vascular smooth m contraction
dihydropyridine mechanism
- bind L-type Ca channels
- arteriolar vasodilation predominant
**more vascular effect
non-dihydropyridine mechanism
- bind L-type Ca channels
- predominant cardiac effects, but also act at vascular tissues
verapamil > diltiazem
hemodynamics of CCBs
- reduced TPR
- reduced afterload
- reduced O2 demand
- non-DHPs reduce CO
- decreased coronary vascular resistance and increased coronary blood flow
