Hemodynamic and electrophysiologic effects of first- and second-generation calcium antagonists
The calcium antagonists currently available exert significantly different in vitro and in vivo electrophysiologic, hemodynamic, and contractile effects on cardiovascular function, mediated through differential cardiac and vascular smooth muscle responses to calcium channel blockade. These differences have important implications regarding choice of agent in specific clinical conditions, such as sinus or atrioventricular nodal disease, depressed left ventricular function, or congestive heart failure--conditions that may coexist with angina or hypertension. Recognizing and utilizing the properties of the different calcium antagonists is important to ensure maximally effective clinical outcomes. For example, in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and supraventricular arrhythmias, verapamil is singularly effective, whereas in post-myocardial infarction patients with pulmonary congestion, diltiazem may produce an added risk. Calcium antagonists of the dihydropyridine class, such as nifedipine and amlodipine, have the greatest peripheral vasoselective effects and thus the greatest potential to reduce afterload, minimizing direct left ventricular depression of contractility. Despite favorable effects of calcium antagonists, most of the agents currently available are not clearly safe in congestive heart failure and may adversely affect left ventricular function. However, newer calcium antagonists such as amlodipine are being investigated with regard to their safety in congestive heart failure.
