Term
| Anti anginals which relax vascular smooth muscle with resultant decrease in venous return and decrease in arterial blood pressure, which reduces left ventricular work load and decreases myocardial oxygen consumption, reviving pain of angina. |

Amlodapine
Verapamil
Calcium Channel Blockers |
|
|
Term
They inhibit the movement of calcium ions across the membranes of cardiac and arterial muscle cells; this inhibition of transmembrane calcium flow results in the depression of impulse formation in specialized cardiac pacemaker cells,
slowing the velocity of conduction of cardiac impulses, depression of myocardial contractability, and dilation of coronary arteries and arterioles and peripheral arterioles; these effets lead to decreased cardiac energy consumption, and increased delivery of exgen to myocardial cells. |

This is often difficult to treat. Calcium channel blockers such as nifedipine may relive the symptoms by the relaxing the muscles of the esophagus. Sometimes, injecting nitroglycerine, long acting nitrates, adn drugs with anticholenergic effects (dicyclomine) are less successful.
Sometimes people need strong analgesics. In many cases, a narrowing is treated by inflating a balloon inside the esophagus or by inserting bougies to dialate the esophagus. In rare cases, a surgeon may cut the muscle layer along the full length of the esophagus. (surgical myotomy. |

Term
| No treatment restores peristalsis. The aim of treatment is to relieve symptoms by decreasing pressure in the lower esophageal sphincter. Nitrates or calcium channel blockers are of limited effectivness but may delay the need for dilation by helping relax the sphincter. |
