Difference of verapamil & diltiazem? does diltiazem cause more vasodilation? "an intermediate class between phenylalkylamine and dihydropyridines"???

Too many individual: response variables; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_channel_blocker has reasonable group overview. Be aware: all the calcium channel blockers, except amlodipine (neutral), in outcome tracking databases, ↑mortality. Best outcomes & lowest mortality rates: optimize NMR lipoproteins, HbA1c ≤ 5.0%, ACE inhibitors (Aceon/Altace) or ARBs combined with carvedilol, carefully adjusted to responses.
