Calcium Channel Blockers for Global Hypertension Control

This paper by Resolve to Save Lives and colleagues highlights why calcium channel blockers are the ideal first-line hypertension medicine for countries with constrained resources. Calcium channel blockers are:

  • Safe—they don’t require lab testing
  • Affordable
  • Just as clinically beneficial as other recommended hypertension medicine classes

For these reasons, calcium channel blockers will be a key medicine to drive forward global blood pressure control, a public health movement backed by over 650 health experts around the world.
