Does nifedipine improve ventricular unloading in patients with chronic heart failure due to congestive cardiomyopathy?
Nifedipine provides acute ventricular unloading in patients with congestive cardiomyopathy, though its long-term efficacy requires further study.
Klugmann et al. (1980) studied this question.
