Pleiotropic Effects of Calcium Channel Blockers

Abstract: Calcium channel blockers are a group of drugs that commonly prescribed to treat cardiovascular disorders such as; hypertension, angina pectoris, peripheral vascular disorders and some arrhythmias. Calcium channel blockers, particularly the newer, longer-acting agents, are clearly effective in reducing elevated blood pressure with minimal to modest adverse effect profiles, therefore they are used extensively.
