    Calcium channel blockers work by blocking calcium channels in cardiac muscle cells, cardiac conduction cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells. This prevents calcium from entering the cells and reduces muscle contraction in the heart and arteries. Calcium channel blockers are commonly used to treat hypertension, angina, and cardiac arrhythmias by slowing the force and velocity of cardiac contraction and relaxing vascular smooth muscle. They include non-dihydropyridines like diltiazem and verapamil, and dihydropyridines like amlodipine, nicardipine, and clevidipine.
