May guide acute nifedipine dosing by baseline severity; leaves open its role versus modern agents in long-term care.
Does acute administration of nifedipine lower blood pressure and alter vascular resistance in patients with various etiologies of hypertension?
Acute administration of nifedipine effectively lowers blood pressure by reducing peripheral vascular resistance in a dose-dependent manner across various etiologies of hypertension.
Masotti et al. (1985) studied this question.
