Other Significations For Angizem Cd 180 Mg
This Medication Diltiazem is a drug that is used for treating heart pain angina high blood pressure and abnormal heart rhythms It belongs to a class of drugs called calcium channel blockersCCBs which includes amlodipine Norvasc verapamil Calan Isoptinnifedipine Adalat Procardia as well as others CCBs block the entry of calcium into muscle cells that make up the heart and that surround the arteries It is the entry of calcium into these cells that causes the cells to contract allowing the heart to pump blood and the arteries to narrow By blocking the entry of calcium diltiazem decreases the force of contraction of the heart and its rate of contraction It also relaxes the muscles surrounding the arteries allowing the arteries to widen dilate In order to pump blood the heart needs oxygen The harder the heart works the more oxygen it requires Angina occurs when the supply of oxygen to the heart is inadequate for the amount of work the heart must do By dilating arteries diltiazem reduces the pressure in the arteries into which the heart must pump blood and as a result the heart needs to work less and requires less oxygen By reducing the hearts need for oxygen diltiazem relieves or prevents angina Dilation of the arteries also reduces blood pressure
