Calcium antagonists and left ventricular dysfunction
Abstract
Calcium antagonists are used in the management of a variety of cardiovascular disorders. Ischemia leads to left ventricular dysfunction, which is the clinical entity on which the calcium antagonists are expected to have their effect as a result of their anti-ischemic action. This article reviews the efficacy of calcium antagonists in several different settings of left ventricular dysfunction due to ischemia and reperfusion.
