Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

The calcium-channel blockers represent a group of organic chemical structures that share the ability to inhibit Ca2+ entry into excitable cells. In cardiac contractile cells, inhibition of Ca2+ entry blunts the ability of Ca2+ to serve as an intracellular messenger. Thus, calcium-channel blockers have a negative inotropic effect on the working myocardial cells of the atria and ventricles. Calcium-channel blockers also have effects on impulse formation and conduction in some regions of the heart.
