New research has identified the specific biological mechanism behind the muscle dysfunction found in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and further shows that calcium channel blockers can reverse these ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia but the changes in brain cell function underlying memory loss remains poorly understood. Researchers at the University of Bristol have ...

Myotonic dystrophy is one of the most common forms of muscular dystrophy. It is a genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and wasting. No treatments currently exist that slow the ...

Despite platelet function studies showing that calcium channel blockers (CCBs) may lessen the effectiveness of clopidogrel, a retrospective analysis shows no clinical interaction between the 2 agents.

What Are Calcium Channel Blockers? Calcium makes your heart and blood vessels work harder to pump. Calcium channel blockers work by slowing the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and ...

Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) have several actions that might prevent acute tubular necrosis after renal transplantation and thereby reduce the likelihood of delayed graft function (DGF). This ...

Examining data on more than 400,000 participants in the U.K. Biobank revealed that use of CCBs was associated with a 39% greater odds of glaucoma after adjusting for various factors, including the use ...

The angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB) telmisartan ameliorates endothelial dysfunction following drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation better than the calcium-channel blocker amlodipine in ...
