Overview
Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) consist of three subclasses: Dihydropyridines (e.g., nifedipine, amlodipine), Phenylalkylamines (e.g., verapamil), and Benzothiazepines (e.g., diltiazem).
Mechanism of Benefit
- CCBs inhibit both myocardial and vascular smooth muscle contraction.
- They also cause AV block and sinus node slowing.
The degree of these effects varies amongst the three classes with nifedipine and amlodipine having the most peripheral arterial dilatory effects but few or no AV or sinus node effects, whereas verapamil and diltiazem having prominent AV and sinus node effects and but only some peripheral arterial dilatory effects.
Although different CCBs are structurally and, potentially, therapeutically diverse, superiority of 1 agent over another in unstable angina/NSTEMI has not been demonstrated, except for the increased risks posed by rapid-release, short-acting dihydropyridines such as nifedipine.
Indications
- Calcium channel blockers may be used to control ongoing or recurring ischemia-related symptoms in patients who already are receiving adequate doses of nitroglycerine (NTG) and beta blockers, in patients who are unable to tolerate adequate doses of 1 or both of these agents, and in patients with variant angina.
- Definitive evidence for a benefit of CCBs in unstable angina/NSTEMI is predominantly limited to symptom control.
- When beta blockers cannot be used, and in the absence of clinically significant LV dysfunction, heart rate slowing CCBs are preferred.[1]

Class I |
"1. In patients with NSTE-ACS, continuing or frequently recurring ischemia, and a contraindication to beta blockers, a nondihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB) (e.g., verapamil or diltiazem) should be given as initial therapy in the absence of clinically significant LV dysfunction, increased risk for cardiogenic shock, PR interval greater than 0.24 second, or second- or third degree atrioventricular block without a cardiac pacemaker.

"2. Oral nondihydropyridine calcium antagonists are recommended in patients with NSTE-ACS who have recurrent ischemia in the absence of contraindications, after appropriate use of beta blockers and nitrates. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
"3. CCBs are recommended for ischemic symptoms when beta blockers are not successful, are contraindicated, or cause unacceptable side effects. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
"4. Long-acting CCBs and nitrates are recommended in patients with coronary artery spasm. (Level of Evidence: C)" |

Class I |
"1. In unstable angina / NSTEMI patients with continuing or frequently recurring ischemia and in whom beta blockers are contraindicated, a non dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (e.g., verapamil or diltiazem) should be given as initial therapy in the absence of clinically significant left ventricular dysfunction or other contraindications.

"2. Immediate-release dihydropyridine calcium antagonists in the presence of adequate beta blocker may be considered in patients with Unstable angina / NSTEMI with ongoing ischemic symptoms or hypertension. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
