title: [Large scale clinical trials of calcium channel blockers on the prevention of cardiovascular diseases].
abstract: In the effects of calcium channel blockers on the cardiovascular diseases, the recent large scale clinical trials indicated that calcium channel blockers are considered to be superior for preventing the cardiovascular diseases. These results are different from that of former meta-analysis (BDLT, etc). This difference may be due to the characteristics of the calcium channel blocker.
