Why the study?
Does acute blood pressure reduction with sodium nitroprusside or fenoldopam cause electrocardiographic changes in patients with hypertensive emergencies?
Does acute blood pressure reduction with sodium nitroprusside or fenoldopam cause electrocardiographic changes in patients with hypertensive emergencies?
Acute blood pressure reduction in hypertensive emergencies commonly causes benign T-wave amplitude decreases and inversions, which do not indicate clinical myocardial ischemia.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Acute BP reduction in hypertensive emergencies commonly produces benign T-wave changes without ischemia; confirms ECG monitoring need not imply acute coronary syndrome.
Daniel D. Gretler (1992) studied this question.
