|---|---|---|
| Verapamil |
Verapamil is a phenylalkylamine calcium antagonist which blocks the inward movement of calcium ions in cardiac muscle cells, in smooth muscle cells of the coronary and systemic arteries and in cells of the intracardiac conduction system. It lowers heart rate, increases myocardial perfusion and reduces coronary spasm. Because of its effect on the movement of calcium in the intracardiac conduction system, verapamil reduces automaticity, decreases conduction velocity and increases the refractory period. |
