The hemodynamic effects of nisoldipine were investigated in 16 patients with suspected coronary artery disease who underwent routine cardiac catheterization. Nisoldipine was given intravenously in a dose of 6 pg/kg over 3 minutes and measurements made before and after drug administration during spontaneous and matched atrial paced heart rate. During sinus rhythm, nisoldipine produced a significant increase in heart rate (19%, p <10m5). Left ventricular systolic pressure decreased 28 % (p <10W6) and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure did not change significantly (5%, difference not significant). Coronary sinus and great cardiac vein blood flow increased by 21% (p
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
