CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Nifedipine is a calcium ion influx inhibitor (slow-channel blocker or calcium ion antagonist) and inhibits the transmembrane influx of calcium ions into cardiac muscle and smooth muscle. The contractile processes of cardiac muscle and vascular smooth muscle are dependent upon the movement of extracellular calcium ions into these cells through specific ion channels. Nifedipine selectively inhibits calcium ion influx across the cell membrane of cardiac muscle and vascular smooth muscle without altering serum calcium concentrations. MECHANISM OF ACTION A) ANGINA 17 18 2 6 The precise mechanisms by which inhibition of calcium influx relieves angina has not been fully determined, but includes at least the following two mechanisms: 1) RELAXATION AND PREVENTION OF CORONARY ARTERY SPASM Nifedipine dilates the main coronary arteries and coronary arterioles, b Lire le document complet
