CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
The therapeutic benefits achieved with diltiazem are believed to be
related to its ability to inhibit the
influx of calcium ions during membrane depolarization of cardiac and
vascular smooth muscle.
MECHANISMS OF ACTION
Although precise mechanisms of its antianginal actions are still being
delineated, diltiazem is believed
to act in the following ways:
1. Angina Due to Coronary Artery Spasm

Diltiazem has been shown to be a potent dilator of coronary arteries
both epicardial and subendocardial.
Spontaneous and ergonovine-induced coronary artery spasm are inhibited
by diltiazem.
2. Exertional Angina
Diltiazem has been shown to produce increases in exercise tolerance,
probably due to its ability to
reduce myocardial oxygen demand. This is accomplished via reductions
in heart rate and systemic
blood pressure at submaximal and maximal exercise work loads.
In animal models, diltiazem interferes with the slow inward
(depolarizing) current in excitable t
