Does oral nifedipine 10mg improve hemodynamic parameters in patients after acute myocardial infarction?
Oral nifedipine 10mg significantly reduces left ventricular workload and systemic vascular resistance in patients with acute myocardial infarction, particularly lowering pulmonary arterial diastolic pressure in those with elevated baseline levels.
Yamauchi et al. (1982) studied this question.
