maleate) is a long-acting calcium channel blocker (dihydropyridine (DHP) class) used as an anti-hypertensive and in the treatment of angina. Like other calcium channel blockers‚ amlodipine acts by relaxing the smooth muscle in the arterial wall‚ decreasing total peripheral resistance and hence reducing blood pressure; in angina it increases blood flow to the heart muscle (although DHP-class calcium channel blockers are more selective for arteries than myocardium‚ as the cardiac calcium channels are not of

(Adalat‚Procardia‚others) Prototype Drug / .Therapeutic Class: Drug for hypertension and angina Pharmacologic Class: Calcium channel blocker. ACTIONS AND USESNifedipine is CCB generally prescribed for HTN and variant or vasospastic angina. It is occasionally used to treat Raynaud’s phenomenon and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Nifedipine acts by selectively bloking calcium channels in myocardial and vascular smooth muscle‚ including those in the coronary arteries. This results in less oxygen

Preparation and Ferroelectric Characterization of Calcium doped Barium Titanate ceramics ABSTRACT Barium Titanate (BT) is widely used in electro-optical and electroceramic industry because of its ferroelectric‚ thermoelectric and piezoelectric properties when it assumes the tetragonal structure. In addition to its Lead free composition‚ its perovskite structure allows variation of ionic size and small displacement of atoms that lead to the distortion of the structure which has a profound

Patient Case Question 1: For which condition is this patient likely taking nifedipine? Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. Patient’s past medical history indicates that he has had hypertension “for years‚” the patient is most likely taking Nifedipine to manage this condition. May also be taking nifedipine so as to prevent chest pain from his past condition of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Patient Case Question 2: For which condition is this

ABSTRACT The objective of this project is to optimize the preparation of modified Calcium Oxide (CaO) to capture CO2 by carbonation through hydration of ethanol/water. The carbonation reaction is the basis for CO2 capture systems. However CaO as regenerable CO2 sorbents in industrial processes is limited by the rapid decay of the carbonation conversion with the number of cycle carbonation/ calcination. Therefore Calcium based sorbents have attracted renewed attention as possible sorbents for cyclic

Anatomy and Physiology Assignment Research project: The role of calcium and vitamin D in the development and maintenance of bone structure What is Parathyrin? Parathyrin is a substance made by the parathyroid gland that helps the body store and use calcium. A higher than normal amount of parathyrin causes high levels of calcium in the blood and may be a sign of disease. Parathyrin is also sometimes known as Parathormone‚ parathyroid hormone and PTH. What is Calcatonin? Calcatonin is a hormone
