Across
  1. 5. Chronotropy Slowing of heart rate by CCBs like Verapamil and Diltiazem
  2. 6. Node Conduction part of the heart slowed by non-dihydropyridine CCBs
  3. 7. Cells Cells in the SA node where CCBs slow heart rate
  4. 9. Condition where CCBs are used to reduce vascular resistance and blood pressure
  5. 11. Smooth Muscle Type of muscle that CCBs affect to lower blood pressure
  6. 12. Widening of blood vessels caused by CCBs acting on smooth muscle
  7. 14. Pressure Measurement lowered by CCBs in hypertensive patients
Down
  1. 1. A condition treated by CCBs like Verapamil that slow conduction through the AV node
  2. 2. Tachycardia Increased heart rate in response to a decrease in blood pressure
  3. 3. Inotropy Decreased heart contractility due to CCB action
  4. 4. Measurement of the stretch of the heart’s ventricles that is unaffected by CCBs
  5. 8. CCBs reduce this in the heart, making them useful for patients with heart failure
  6. 10. Peripheral Resistance Measurement that decreases when CCBs cause vasodilation
  7. 13. Pressure CCBs reduce this by relaxing arterial smooth muscle
  8. 15. Ions Ions blocked by CCBs from entering smooth muscle and cardiac cells
