  10. CCBs – Mechanisms of Action • Increase the time that Ca2+ channels are closed • Relaxation of the arterial smooth muscle but not much effect on venous smooth muscle • Significant reduction in afterload but not preload

  11.

  13. Why Do CCBs Act Selectively on Cardiac and Vascular Muscle?

  14. N-type and P-type Ca2+ channels mediate neurotransmitter release in neurons Ca2+ Ca2+ Ca2+ Ca2+ Ca2+ postsynaptic cell

  15. Myofibril Plasma membrane Transverse tubule Terminal cisterna of SR Triad SR T Tubules of SR Skeletal muscle relies on intracellular Ca2+ for contraction

  16. Ca2+ Ca2+ L-Type L-Type Ca2+ Ca2+ Ca2+ Contractile Cells (atria, ventricle) Slow Response Cells (SA node, AV node) Cardiac cells rely on L-type Ca2+ channels for contraction and for the upstroke of the AP in slow response cells

  17. Ca2+ L-Type (graded, Ca2+ dependent contraction) Vascular smooth muscle relies on Ca2+ influx through L-type Ca2+ channels for contraction

  18. CCBs Act Selectively on Cardiovascular Tissues • Neurons rely on N-and P-type Ca2+ channels • Skeletal muscle relies primarily on [Ca]i • Cardiac muscle requires Ca2+ influx through L-type Ca2+ channels - contraction (fast response cells) - upstroke of AP (slow response cells) • Vascular smooth muscle requires Ca2+ influx through L-type Ca2+ channels for contraction

  19. Outline • Pharmacokinetics • Adverse effects • Contraindications • Summary • Introduction • CCB binding sites • Heterogeneity of action • Cardiac & hemodynamic differentiation

Peripheral vasodilation Differential effects of different CCBs on CV cells Dihydropyridines: Selective vasodilators Non -dihydropyridines: equipotent for cardiac tissue and vasculature Heart rate moderating Peripheral and coronary vasodilation SN AV Potential reflex increase in HR, myocardial contractility and O2 demand Coronary VD SN AV Reduced inotropism

  31. Which CCB is most likely to cause hypotension and reflex tachycardia? • Diltiazem • Nifedipine • Verapamil

  32. Contraindications for CCBs include (choose all appropriate): • Supraventricular tachycardias • Hypotension • AV heart block • Hypertension • Congestive heart failure

  33. CCBs may improve cardiac function by: • Reducing cardiac afterload • Increasing O2 supply • Decreasing cardiac preload • Normalizing heart rate in patients with • supraventricular tachycardias
