calcium channel blockers
What is heart failure. blocking the entry of calcium, calcium channel blockers reduce electrical conduction within the heart, decrease the force of contraction (work) of the muscle cells, and dilate arteries. Dilation of the arteries reduces blood pressure and thereby the effort the heart must exert to pump blood.
