title: The action of antidepressant drugs administered during calcium channel blockade.
abstract: This is an overview of the symposium concerned with the action of electroconvulsive treatment and some antidepressant drugs (mainly imipramine) applied during blockade of voltage-dependent calcium channels with nifedipine. The results in general suggest that a combination of calcium channel blockers with antidepressant drugs or ECT may be of clinical value in treatment of depression.
