Calcium antagonist therapy is a type of medical treatment used to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke and coronary artery disease. Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are the type of drug most commonly used during calcium antagonist therapy. These drugs act by blocking the flow of calcium ions into the cells of the heart and blood vessels, which relaxes the muscles in these tissues and reduces the pressure within them. This can help to lower overall systemic blood pressure and reduce the strain on the heart, reducing risk of stroke and coronary artery disease. Calcium antagonist therapy is an important tool for treating high blood pressure and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
