Intravenous nicardipine for the treatment of severe hypertension
The American Journal of Medicine(1988)
Abstract
Purpose: Severe hypertension responds to treatment with nifedipine given orally or sublingually. Nicardipine hydrochloride, a water soluble dihydropyridine analogue similar to nifedipine, has less of a negative ionotropic effect and produces less reflex tachycardia than nifedipine. Our purpose was to assess the antihypertensive efficacy and safety of intravenous nicardipine in a group of patients with severe hypertension (defined as a supine diastolic blood pressure of more than 120 mm Hg).
