Book Description
This volume reviews the current ability, future prospects, and physiological and medical significance of being able to distinguish pharmacologically among different calcium channel subtypes. Chapters are organized around broad concepts addressing the state of the field that naturally cover the pharmacology of each different calcium channel. Mechanistic information on drug-channel interactions is also presented in several chapters, as a theoretical and practical guide to working with calcium channel blockers in general.
