Across
  1. 4. Inotropy Effect of CCBs that decreases the force of heart contractions
  2. 5. Peripheral Resistance The vascular resistance reduced by CCBs, leading to reflex tachycardia
  3. 6. A CCB that reduces heart rate and prevents reflex tachycardia
  4. 10. Node Conduction slowed by CCBs like Verapamil and Diltiazem, reducing the likelihood of tachycardia
  5. 11. Chronotropy Effect of CCBs that reduces heart rate
  6. 12. Tachycardia Increased heart rate triggered by the baroreceptor reflex in response to vasodilation
  7. 13. Pressure CCBs primarily reduce this component of blood pressure
  8. 14. Nervous System Activated by baroreceptors in response to decreased blood pressure, leading to tachycardia
Down
  1. 1. Condition where the heart rate is abnormally slow, often caused by non-dihydropyridines
  2. 2. The widening of blood vessels caused by CCBs, reducing blood pressure
  3. 3. The resistance against which the heart pumps, reduced by CCBs
  4. 6. Smooth Muscle The primary site of action for dihydropyridine CCBs
  5. 7. Sensors in the cardiovascular system that detect changes in blood pressure
  6. 8. Condition treated by CCBs, especially dihydropyridines, by reducing blood pressure
  7. 9. Class of CCBs more likely to cause reflex tachycardia due to potent vasodilation
