Pharmacology
Clevidipine is a dihydropyridine L-type calcium channel blocker that lowers blood pressure by inhibiting calcium influx in arterial smooth muscle, reducing systemic vascular resistance without affecting venous preload or cardiac filling pressure.
Propranolol is a nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor-blocking agent that competitively blocks beta-receptor-stimulating agents, reducing chronotropic, inotropic, and vasodilator responses to beta-adrenergic stimulation; at doses greater than required for beta blockade, it also exerts a quinidine-like membrane action affecting the cardiac action potential.
