amlodipine and Myocarditis

amlodipine has been researched along with Myocarditis in 3 studies

Amlodipine: A long-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. It is effective in the treatment of ANGINA PECTORIS and HYPERTENSION.
amlodipine : A fully substituted dialkyl 1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate derivative, which is used for the treatment of hypertension, chronic stable angina and confirmed or suspected vasospastic angina.

Myocarditis: Inflammatory processes of the muscular walls of the heart (MYOCARDIUM) which result in injury to the cardiac muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC). Manifestations range from subclinical to sudden death (DEATH, SUDDEN). Myocarditis in association with cardiac dysfunction is classified as inflammatory CARDIOMYOPATHY usually caused by INFECTION, autoimmune diseases, or responses to toxic substances. Myocarditis is also a common cause of DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY and other cardiomyopathies.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The aim of the present study was to compare the cardioprotective properties of long-acting calcium channel antagonist pranidipine with amlodipine in rat model of heart failure induced by autoimmune myocarditis."7.73Comparative effects of pranidipine with amlodipine in rats with heart failure. ( Aizawa, Y; Gurusamy, N; Kamal, FA; Kodama, M; Kunisaki, M; Ma, M; Mito, S; Palaniyandi, SS; Prakash, P; Veeraveedu, PT; Wahed, MI; Watanabe, K; Wen, J, 2006)
"Although calcium channel blockers have not been shown to be beneficial for the treatment of patients with heart failure, a recent clinical trial demonstrated a favorable effect of amlodipine on the survival of patients with heart failure resulting from nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy."7.69Beneficial effects of amlodipine in a murine model of congestive heart failure induced by viral myocarditis. A possible mechanism through inhibition of nitric oxide production. ( Matsui, S; Matsumori, A; Okada, I; Sasayama, S; Sato, Y; Shioi, T; Shiota, K; Suzuki, H; Wang, WZ; Yamada, T, 1997)
