Role of Cilnidipine in the Management of Essential Hypertension
نویسندگان
چکیده
Large numbers of drugs are used in the treatment of hypertension and Calcium Channel Blockers are an important group among them. Cilnidipine is a new calcium channel blocking drug distinguished from other L-type calcium channel blockers with additional N-type of calcium channel blocking property. Cardioprotective, renoprotective and neuroprotective action of cilnidipine can provide additional benefit in form of reduced morbidity in the management of hypertension by controlling sympathetic over activity.

Effects of Cilnidipine on Heart Rate and Uric Acid Metabolism in Patients With Essential Hypertension
BACKGROUND The relation between hypertension and hyperuricemia has been established by epidemiological studies. Calcium channel blockers are one of the first-line drugs for newly diagnosed patients with essential hypertension. Cilnidipine is a new calcium channel blocker acting by blocking both L- and N-type calcium channels. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of amlodipine ...
متن کاملReduction of white coat effect by cilnidipine in essential hypertension.
Stress elevates blood pressure (BP) by increased sympathetic nerve activity. Cilnidipine, a novel dihydropyridine calcium antagonist that has inhibitory actions on N-type as well as L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels, has been reported to attenuate the cold stress-induced increase in plasma norepinephrine and BP in rats. Because white coat effect is associated with an enhanced pressor re...

BACKGROUND Many epidemiological studies have established the relationship between hypertension and dyslipidemia. Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are one of the first-line drugs for newly diagnosed patients with essential hypertension. Cilnidipine as a newer CCB acting by blocking both L- and N-type calcium channels possesses additional beneficial effects apart from lowering blood pressure (BP)....

N-Type calcium channel antagonists may suppress sympathetic activity. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of amlodipine and cilnidipine on the cardiac sympathetic nervous system and the neurohormonal status of essential hypertension. 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) cardiac imaging was performed and blood samples were taken to determine plasma renin activity and plasma norepi...
