May link acute calcium rises to higher BP and resistance; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
Does intravenous calcium infusion increase blood pressure and vascular resistance in normotensive individuals?
Intravenous calcium infusion acutely increases blood pressure and peripheral vascular resistance in normotensive individuals, likely via calcium influx into arterial smooth muscle.
Aoki et al. (1990) studied this question.
