Calcium channel blocker

and the American College of Cardiology. These guidelines include avoiding the use of drugs or supplements that can raise blood pressure, exercising and dieting, as well as taking diuretics, ACE inhibitors, dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, angiotensin II receptor blockers. The article further provides questions for patients that emanate from these new guidelines. Such questions include the persons who need the treatment guidelines, knowing one’s risk of hypertension, and likelihood of…

Additionally, thyroid, connective tissue and neoplastic disorders can all effect cardiac function. Vasodilators, beta blockers and calcium channel blockers are associated with prior heart disease and cardiogenic risk factors such as hypertension. Oedema alone does not signify heart disease as it has many causes. In order to improve the diagnostic power of oedema as a sign of heart failure…

L-type channel expression(Andres et al. 2015). Similarly, the Tat protein also is known to affect Ca2+ movements into the cell(Haughey et al. 2001). However, there is a poor understanding about the mechanism by which METH and HIV-Tat affect Ca2+ entry into neurons or cells. My research project will ask these questions 1) do METH and Tat affect Ca2+ entry via the L-type Ca2+ channel or the N-type Ca2+ channel or both? and 2) what are the long-term effects of HIV-Tat protein exposure on calcium…

pressure:Angiotensin-coverting enzyme inhibitors(ACE inhibitors ,calcium-channel blockers,angiotensin receptor blockers ,diuretics and beta-blockers Angiotensin-coverting enzyme inhibitors(ACE inhibitors) ACE inhibitors block the angiotensin-covering enzyme which leads to unwinding of blood vessels and dercreasing the quantity of re-absorped water in the kidneys Calcium-channel blockers Calcium-channel blockers lower the volume of calcium , going to the smooth muscle cells.Muscle cells relax…

The dilated cardiomyopathy is a progressive and chronic disease of the heart muscles, the most common type of cardiomyopathies, occurring mostly in adults 20 to 60, more common in men, usually starting in the heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle), the muscles of the heart starts to stretch and to become thinner leading consequently to enlargement inside the chamber of the heart and can spreads to the right ventricle and then to the atria (Bhf.org.uk, 2017). When the heart chambers dilate…

Antiemetics Overview: Antiemetics are used for nausea and to prevent vomiting and also used for motion sickness. These drugs can be bought over the counter. (OTC) Action: Dimenhydrenate or Dramamine is an antihistamine. It should be taken one hour before travelling, and will prevent motion sickness. The antihistamine is available in children’s liquid formula and in a Less Drowsy Formula that may have fewer sedative side effects. Meclizine hydrochloride (Bonine) treats vomiting and dizziness…

The force in the arteries when blood pumped by the heart hits the walls of arteries is known as blood pressure . When the heart contracts,the highest pressure in the arteries is known as the systolic pressure . Whereas , the lowest pressure in the arteries in between two heart beats is referred to as diastolic pressure . A normal individual would have a blood pressure of below 120/80 mmHg. High blood pressure or otherwise known as hypertension is a condition when the force in the arteries are…

Table 1). All four drugs showed a decrease in contractional response when they were compared to their control. Lignocaine is a widely used local anaesthetic. This drug shows inhibition of peristalsis due to its ability to block sodium ion protein channels in the nerves of the body. This prevents the initiation and rapid increase of nerve action potentials, this allows for its use as a local anaesthetic by acting on nociceptive neurons (Dale et al., 2015). This will then result in diminished…

Hypertension Biology 202 Summer 2016 8 a.m. Online Devynne Carter Hypertension is when a person’s force of blood against the artery walls is consistently elevated over a long period of time and causes a constant blood pressure reading above 140/90 mm Hg. When blood pressure is high over long periods of time it can cause permanent long term effects to the blood vessels. You get this reading by measuring how much blood is pumped out of the heart and the overall resistance of the…

The aim of the experiment was to investigate the initiation of the peristalsis reflex in a piece of guinea pig ileum through the stimulation of the stretch receptors, and subsequently demonstrate that the peristalsis reflex is neuronal in origin and not just a property of the muscle itself. Several drugs including lignocaine, atropine, hexamethonium, and nicardipine were induced to a piece of guinea pig ileum under a standard hydrostatic pressure of 5.0 cm/H2O, and hence the effects determined…
