  1. Increased cardiac muscle contractility, increased SA pacemaker rate, and increased atrioventricular conduction velocity in cardiac tissue
  2. Increased cardiac muscle contractility, increased SA pacemaker rate, and decreased atrioventricular conduction velocity in cardiac tissue
  3. Reduced cardiac muscle contractility, increased SA pacemaker rate, and increased atrioventricular conduction velocity in cardiac tissue
  4. Reduced cardiac muscle contractility, decreased SA pacemaker rate, and decreased atrioventricular conduction velocity in cardiac tissue
Explanation
Answer: D - CCalcium channel blockers reduce cardiac muscle contractility, decrease SA pacemaker rate, and decrease atrioventricular conduction velocity in cardiac tissue.
