Book Description
This is a clinician's and researcher's reference text on using calcium antagonists - calcium channel blockers - in the treatment of gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia. It contains twelve chapters covering experimental and clinical studies on the major calcium antagonists, their definition and classification and pharmacological profile, which drugs to use and when and which drugs to avoid. It also describes nifedipine pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics and covers nifedipine first-line treatment of gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia along with chapters on second-line treatment and nifedipine blood cells and blood rheology. The book provides a comparison between two calcium antagonists in treating gestational hypertension and new categories to classify pre-eclampsia. Includes bibliographic references and index.

Book Description
This volume contains papers presented at the First International Symposium on Mechanism and Treatment in Essential Hyperten sion, which was held on October 23 and 24, 1985 in Nagoya, Japan. The meeting was an official satellite symposium to the meeting of the Fifth International Symposium on Rats with Spon taneous Hypertension and Related Studies in Kyoto, October 20-22, 1985. The Nagoya symposium was made possible by offi cial grants from the city of Nagoya and Aichi Prefecture and the generous financial support of many companies. The aim of the symposium was to provide a forum for presen tation and discussion of recent advances in the area of essential hypertension, particularly with regard to calcium mechanisms in vasoconstriction and vasodilation in arterial vessels and the func tion of arterial smooth muscle. The role of calcium ions in the function of arterial smooth muscle has attracted a great deal of attention in the last two decades. The mode of action of calcium ions was revealed at the molecular level. The hypertension model of the spontaneously hypertensive rat has been widely utilized for research into the fundamental mechanisms of genetic hyperten sion, stroke, and cardiovascular disease as well as into therapeutic measures. New tools of calcium agonists and antagonists have become available to research into the mechanism, prevention, and treatment of essential hypertension at the molecular, subcellular, and cellular levels of arterial smooth muscle, at the organ level of arterial vessels, as well as at the total systemic level.

Book Description
Calcium antagonists are now regarded as the most important advance in cardiac drug therapy since the advent of beta-adrenergic blocking agents. Acting ba sically as vasodilators-though with many other com plex mechanisms especially in the case of the anti arrhythmic calcium antagonists, these agents have grown in importance to become among the therapeutic agents of first choice for angina pectoris and hyper tension. The major aim of the present book is to present the clinician with the information needed for the practical use of calcium antagonists. What do all the numerous and often conflicting trials say? Do these agents really work? If so, which agent and in what dose? How do the three front runners, verapamil, nifedipine and diltia zem compare in the efficacy and side-effects with each other? How do the new second generation agents, now entering the North American market, slot in and com pare with the three first-liners? When the gloss is taken away from the advertisements, what is really left? The strong clinical bias of the present book should be complimented by further reading of books slanted towards fundamentals. One of the most important and recent of these is that by Dr Winifred Nayler (Calcium Antagonists, Academic Press, 1988). That book should be basic for essential background knowledge in the area of calcium antagonists. The important basic contribu tions of Fleckenstein deserve emphasis.
