Benzothiazepine calcium channel blockers belong to the [[Thiazepine|benzothiazepine]] class of compounds and are an intermediate class between phenylalkylamine and dihydropyridines in their selectivity for vascular calcium channels. By having both cardiac depressant and vasodilator actions, benzothiazepines are able to reduce arterial pressure without producing the same degree of reflex cardiac stimulation caused by dihydropyridines. | Benzothiazepine calcium channel blockers belong to the [[Thiazepine|benzothiazepine]] class of compounds and are an intermediate class between phenylalkylamine and dihydropyridines in their selectivity for vascular calcium channels.
