Recognized for its broad cardiovascular benefits, amlodipine not only controls blood pressure but also mitigates risks of unstable angina and myocardial ischemia. It inhibits VSMC proliferation, a key factor in vascular remodeling, by targeting G1-phase cell cycle progression. Additionally, it influences microRNA pathways, such as miR-21, to maintain healthy vascular smooth muscle function, offering protection against vascular diseases.
