Does acute nifedipine administration alter left ventricular function and haemodynamics in patients on beta-blocker therapy?
In beta-blocked patients, nifedipine increases cardiac output through arterial vasodilation despite demonstrating an intrinsic negative inotropic effect.
Joshi et al. (1981) studied this question.
