What are the acute haemodynamic effects of oral nicardipine in patients following diagnostic cardiac catheterisation?
What are the acute haemodynamic effects of oral nicardipine in patients following diagnostic cardiac catheterisation?
Oral nicardipine acts as a potent vasodilator, significantly reducing systemic vascular resistance and increasing heart rate and cardiac output without causing acute side effects at 20 mg or 30 mg doses.
