[QUOTE="Hobs, post: 330788, member: 24693"] As you obviously understand the body's electrochemical pathways, would it not be better to slow/block the calcium ions into the smooth muscle (blood vessels)? Yes, sodium does have an influencing factor on hypertension, but calcium does too and to a greater extent. Several Ca blocking drugs exist but not without unwanted side effects. Find a way of removing the side effects and they will be a lot more popular among patients and far more of them sticking to the prescribed dose. [/QUOTE]
