Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are frequently used in the emergency department and intensive care unit for a wide range of critical conditions, including atrial fibrillation, hypertensive emergencies, acute pulmonary edema with sympathetic crashing, pulmonary hypertension, and vasospastic syndromes. However, their toxicity can lead to significant hemodynamic compromise, underscoring the importance of understanding their pharmacologic effects and safety profile. This review summarizes the current applications of CCBs in critically ill patients, evaluates their safety in congestive heart failure, and highlights emerging therapeutic roles and recent advances in the management of CCB toxicity.
