Calcium channel blockers are medications used to treat high blood pressure aka hypertension. Nurses, nursing students, and healthcare providers need to understand how these medications work in order to monitor and teach patients about their impact and side effects.

There are some important questions our patients will ask us and we need to know where to find the right information.

Can I take my CCB with grapefruit juice?
Is it okay if I take it and then measure my blood pressure?
What about other medications, is it safe to use?

Ninja Nerds!
In this cardiovascular pharmacology lecture, Professor Zach Murphy delivers a clear and high-yield breakdown of Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs), focusing on their mechanisms, classifications, clinical uses, and side effect profiles.

We begin by reviewing how CCBs inhibit L-type voltage-gated calcium channels, reducing calcium influx into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac myocytes. This leads to vasodilation, decreased myocardial contractility, and slowed conduction through the AV node, depending on the drug class.

The lecture divides CCBs into two major categories:
• Dihydropyridines (e.g., Amlodipine, Nifedipine, Felodipine) – Act primarily on vascular smooth muscle to reduce systemic vascular resistance, making them ideal for treating hypertension and vasospastic angina
• Non-dihydropyridines (Verapamil, Diltiazem) – Affect both the heart and blood vessels, useful for rate control in atrial fibrillation, angina, and hypertension, with negative chronotropic and inotropic effects

We also compare side effects: peripheral edema, reflex tachycardia, constipation (notably with Verapamil), bradycardia, and potential AV block. Clinical cautions and drug interactions are emphasized, especially when combining with beta blockers.

What Are The Potential Side Effects Of Using Diltiazem In A Hypertensive Crisis? In this informative video, we will discuss the potential side effects associated with the use of diltiazem during a hypertensive crisis. Diltiazem, a calcium channel blocker, is often utilized for managing high blood pressure and certain heart rhythm issues in emergency situations. While it can provide rapid relief from dangerously high blood pressure, it is essential to be aware of the side effects that may accompany its use.

We will cover both common and serious side effects, including dizziness, headaches, and swelling, as well as more severe reactions such as low blood pressure and irregular heartbeats. Understanding these risks is vital for anyone who may be involved in managing a hypertensive crisis, whether as a patient, caregiver, or healthcare professional.

By the end of this video, you will have a clearer picture of what to expect when diltiazem is administered in critical situations. We aim to equip you with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions regarding hypertension management. Don’t forget to subscribe to our channel for more helpful discussions about hypertension and related health topics.

Calcium channel blocker like Nifedipine, Diltiazem, Verapamil are used to lower both blood pressure and heart rate for patient experiencing hypertension like in heart failure, and this is the main reason that CCB's are put in the class of antihypertensive drugs, since they decrease blood pressure. Although calcium channel blockers (CCB's) come with some key nursing considerations you the nursing student must know for both the NCLEX and nursing exams.

A message from Mike Linares, founder of SimpleNursing
Since 2012, I started to do mini lectures from my parents in home library, armed with a $30 white board from Walmart & a sock to erase the board. Since then I have created over 1,200 videos, only 20% which live on YouTube, and have helped over 1,000,000 nursing students pass their NCLEX, HESI, ATI, and Kaplan proctor exams. Thank you for the continued support and love as we strive to help LPN, LVN and RN students become licensed nurses!
