Abstract

The purpose of this report is to update a previous, more detailed review of calcium entry blockers and the implications these drugs have on anesthesia practice.1 In our previous paper we did not include diltiazem which has recently been released and whose pharmacology has been reviewed by McAuley and Schroeder.2 A number of other excellent review articles pertinent to the subject have also appeared since our listing of pertinent papers.3–11
