3 Questions
Which of the following statements about calcium influx in ischemia is true?
Calcium influx is increased due to hypoxia-induced membrane depolarization
What is the role of calcium channel blockers in protecting the tissue during ischemia?
They inhibit the entrance of calcium into cardiac and smooth muscle cells
How does increased calcium influx worsen ischemia?
By promoting the activity of ATP-consuming enzymes
Test your knowledge on calcium channel blockers and their role in protecting cardiac and smooth muscle cells. Learn how these blockers inhibit calcium influx and prevent energy depletion during ischemia.
