Why the study?
Does felodipine alter haemodynamics and left ventricular function in patients with coronary artery disease receiving beta blockade?
Does felodipine alter haemodynamics and left ventricular function in patients with coronary artery disease receiving beta blockade?
In patients with coronary artery disease on beta blockade, acute administration of felodipine acts as a potent systemic arteriolar dilator but has no direct effect on left ventricular contractility.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support felodipine as arteriolar dilator without direct inotropic effects in beta-blocked CAD; hypothesis-generating for RCTs.
Culling et al. (1984) studied this question.
