Intravenous Nifedipine to Treat Hypertension After Coronary Artery Revascularization Surgery. A Comparison With Sodium Nitroprusside
1992
We administered sodium nitroprusside (SNP) or nifedipine intravenously to patients who became hypertensive after elective coronary revascularization and compared their effects on hemodynamics and the electrocardiogram in a parallel, randomized, open-label study. Four of 21 patients treated with nifedipine required the addition of SNP to maintain mean arterial pressure <90 mm Hg, compared with 4 of 28 patients in the SNP group who required the addition of nifedipine. The success rates of nifedipine (81%) and SNP (86%) were not significantly different
