Key result
Calcium antagonists reduced the risk of perioperative myocardial infarctions and decreased the need for repeated revascularization by about 3 times in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

May support calcium antagonists perioperatively in cardiac surgery; leaves open confirmation in RCTs and role in angioplasty.
Do calcium antagonists reduce perioperative cardiovascular complications in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and angioplasty?
Calcium antagonists have a significant evidence base for reducing perioperative ischemic complications and restenosis in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and angioplasty, despite some safety signals like increased bleeding with nimodipine.
С. В. Недогода (2006) conducted a review in Cardiac surgery. Calcium antagonists was evaluated on Perioperative complications. Calcium antagonists reduced the risk of perioperative myocardial infarctions and decreased the need for repeated revascularization by about 3 times in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
