Risk calculators and risk factors for Congestive heart failure calcium channel blockers

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-In-Chief: Lakshmi Gopalakrishnan, M.B.B.S. [2]

Overview

  • Although calcium channel blockers cause vasodilation their overall benefit is minimized by the fact that they have a negative inotropic effect and by the reflex activation of the sympathetic nervous system.
  • These agents are not recommended as vasodilators in patients with congestive heart failure, however they may be useful as antihypertensive agents in patients with diastolic dysfunction.

Drugs to Avoid in CHF

  • Dronedarone should be avoided in patients who were hospitalized with CHF (this is a boxed warning)
  • Sotalol (has a negative inotropic effect)

ACC/AHA Guidelines- Calcium channel blockers (DO NOT EDIT) [1][2]

Class I

1. Drugs known to adversely affect the clinical status of patients with current or prior symptoms of heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) should be avoided or withdrawn whenever possible (e.g., nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, most antiarrhythmic drugs, and most calcium channel blocking drugs.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] (Level of Evidence: B)

Class III

1. Calcium channel blocking drugs are not indicated as routine treatment for heart failure in patients with current or prior symptoms of heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). [10][11][12][13] (Level of Evidence: A)
