Calcium channel blockers
Calcium channel blockers. Computer artwork of calcium ions (orange) being blocked from calcium channels by calcium channel blocker drugs (grey). These drugs are used to treat angina pectoris (chest pain) and high blood pressure (hypertension) as they target calcium channels in smooth muscle, such as found in the heart and blood vessels. By preventing the uptake of calcium they prevent the muscle from contracting, which lessens the workload of the heart

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate mechanism of calcium channel blockers, represented through computer artwork. The vibrant orange calcium ions are depicted being obstructed from entering calcium channels by grey-colored drugs known as calcium channel blockers. These medications play a crucial role in treating angina pectoris and high blood pressure, specifically targeting the smooth muscle found in the heart and blood vessels. By effectively impeding the uptake of calcium, these blockers prevent excessive muscle contractions, ultimately alleviating strain on the heart. This reduction in workload proves beneficial for individuals suffering from conditions such as hypertension or chest pain caused by angina pectoris. The image beautifully captures the pharmacological concept behind these drugs' action, highlighting their significance within medical care. With its detailed portrayal of cardiac health and treatment options, this illustration serves as a valuable resource for professionals in pharmacology and healthcare alike. Notably, this print is not affiliated with any specific company or intended for commercial use. Instead, it focuses solely on presenting an informative visual representation of how calcium channel blockers function to combat various disorders related to abnormal smooth muscle activity.
