Dromotropic
The term dromotropic derives from the Greek word δρόμος drómos, meaning "running", a course, a race. A dromotropic agent is one which affects the conduction speed (in fact the magnitude of delay
Positive dromotropy increases
epinephrine stimulation), negative dromotropy decreases velocity (e.g. vagal stimulation).[4]
Agents that are dromotropic are often (but not always)
parasympathetic stimulation is usually negatively chronotropic and dromotropic, but because the vagus nerve does not innervate ventricular myocardium, there is no effect on inotropy. [citation needed

Non-dihydropyridine
