6
The Three Classes of CCBs Bind to Different Sites
1,4- Dihydropyridines (nifedipine) Phenylalkylamines (verapamil) Benzothiazepines (diltiazem) Ca2+ pore - +
7
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

9
Why Do CCBs Act Selectively on Cardiac and Vascular Muscle?
10
N-type and P-type Ca2+ channels mediate
neurotransmitter release in neurons Ca2+ Ca2+ Ca2+ Ca2+ Ca2+ postsynaptic cell
11
Skeletal muscle relies on intracellular
Ca2+ for contraction Myofibril Plasma membrane Transverse tubule Terminal cisterna of SR Tubules of Triad T
12
Cardiac cells rely on L-type Ca2+ channels for contraction
and for the upstroke of the AP in slow response cells Contractile Cells (atria, ventricle) L-Type Ca2+ Slow Response Cells (SA node, AV node)
13
Vascular smooth muscle relies on Ca2+ influx
through L-type Ca2+ channels for contraction (graded, Ca2+ dependent contraction) L-Type Ca2+
14
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

Non -dihydropyridines: equipotent for cardiac tissue and vasculature
Differential effects of different CCBs on CV cells Dihydropyridines: Selective vasodilators Non -dihydropyridines: equipotent for cardiac tissue and vasculature Peripheral vasodilation 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

26
Which CCB is most likely to cause
hypotension and reflex tachycardia? Diltiazem Nifedipine Verapamil
27
Contraindications for CCBs include (choose all
appropriate): Supraventricular tachycardias Hypotension AV heart block Hypertension Congestive heart failure
28
CCBs may improve cardiac function by:
Reducing cardiac afterload Increasing O2 supply Decreasing cardiac preload Normalizing heart rate in patients with supraventricular tachycardias
