May support perfusion benefits in angina; leaves open outcome impact in randomized trials.
Does nicardipine improve coronary blood flow and myocardial metabolism in patients with angina pectoris?
Nicardipine induces coronary dilatation that improves perfusion and aerobic metabolism in chronically ischemic areas in patients with angina pectoris.
Rousseau et al. (1985) studied this question.
