Abstract
This review will highlight recent advances in understanding the physiological role of calcium and effects of calcium channel blockers on pathogenetic factors in asthma, including airway smooth muscle contraction, mast cell degranulation and mucus secretion. A review of clinical studies with calcium channel blockers in asthma will also be presented.Keywords
