It can be used as either monotherapy or combination ...

3. Calcium channel blocker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_channel_blocker

   Slowing down the conduction of electrical activity within the heart, by blocking the calcium channel during the plateau phase of the action potential of the heart (see: cardiac action potential), results in a negative chronotropic effect, or a lowering of heart rate. This can increase the potential for heart block.

4. Calcium channel blocker toxicity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_channel_blocker...

   Most people who have taken too much of a calcium channel blocker, especially diltiazem, get slow heart rate and low blood pressure (vasodilatory shock). [1] This can progress to the heart stopping altogether. [2] CCBs of the dihydropyridine group, as well as flunarizine, predominantly cause reflex tachycardia as a reaction to the low blood ...

5. Antihypertensive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antihypertensive

   Antihypertensive therapy seeks to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as stroke, heart failure, kidney failure and myocardial infarction. Evidence suggests that a reduction of blood pressure by 5 mmHg can decrease the risk of stroke by 34% and of ischaemic heart disease by 21%.

6. Cardiovascular agents - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiovascular_agents

   Antihypertensive agents comprise multiple classes of compounds that are intended to manage hypertension (high blood pressure). Antihypertensive therapy aims to maintain a blood pressure goal of <140/90 mmHg in all patients, as well as to prevent the progression or recurrence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in hypertensive patients with established CVD.
