Myotonic dystrophy is one of the most common forms of muscular dystrophy. It is a genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and wasting. No treatments currently exist that slow the ...

A little extra calcium is a good thing, to help maintain healthy bones and muscles. However, too much calcium in your neurons could be an underlying cause of memory loss for those afflicted with ...

Blocking calcium channels in brain capillaries may enhance blood flow and alleviate early-stage Alzheimer's damage, new study suggests. Study: Inhibiting Ca 2+ channels in Alzheimer’s disease model ...

What Are Calcium Channel Blockers? Calcium makes your heart and blood vessels work harder to pump. Calcium channel blockers work by slowing the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and ...

Praxis Precision Medicines' ulixacaltamide (PRAX-944) is a potent and selective small molecule T-type Ca2+ channel blocker being developed for the potential treatment of essential tremor. ET is a ...

Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) have several actions that might prevent acute tubular necrosis after renal transplantation and thereby reduce the likelihood of delayed graft function (DGF). This ...

Lowering cholesterol along with blood pressure in patients with hypertension has a lasting impact on survival years after medications have been stopped, new long-term data from the ASCOT Legacy study ...

Patients on calcium channel blockers (CCBs) had a higher likelihood of glaucoma than their counterparts, according to a population-based, cross-sectional study. Examining data on more than 400,000 ...
