Why the study?
Does intravenous nicardipine improve myocardial metabolism and regional LV function in patients undergoing coronary artery surgery?
Does intravenous nicardipine improve myocardial metabolism and regional LV function in patients undergoing coronary artery surgery?
Intravenous nicardipine provides additional myocardial protection and improves regional LV function during extracorporeal circulation for coronary artery surgery, particularly in patients with compromised LV function.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support myocardial protection with nicardipine in impaired LV during CABG; hypothesis-generating without clinical outcome benefit.
Koolen et al. (1989) studied this question.
