Effect of Cilnidipine on L- and T-type Calcium Currents in Guinea Pig Ventricle and Action Potential in Rabbit Sinoatrial Node
Cilnidipine, a dihydropyridine Ca2+ channel antagonist, is known to have inhibitory effects on both L- and N-type Ca2+ currents. In the present study, we examined the effect of cilnidipine on myocardial L- and T-type Ca2+ currents and sinoatrial node action potential configuration. In voltage clampe...
