Abstract

Voltage-dependent calcium channels are divided into L-, T- and N-types. Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are widely used to treat hypertension and generally act on L-type calcium channels. Recent studies have suggested that L-type calcium channel blockade combined with T- or N-type calcium channel blockade may provide additive benefits in preventing cardiovascular and renal diseases.
