Calcium antagonists and renal hemodynamics: implications for renal protection.
Recently, attention has focussed on the effects of calcium antagonists on renal function. When administered in vitro to the isolated perfused kidney, calcium antagonists exhibit consistent actions permitting characterization of their renal hemodynamic effects. Calcium antagonists do not affect the vascular tone of the vasodilated isolated perfused kidney, but they do dramatically reverse the re...
متن کاملNitrendipine in severe hypertension. Satellite symposium on calcium antagonists.
We report the results of a multicenter trial in which nitrendipine, alone or in combination with a diuretic, a beta-blocker, or both, was administered to 114 patients with severe hypertension (greater than or equal to 115 mm Hg). Nitrendipine was titrated in doses of 5 to 30 mg b.i.d. If blood pressure was not controlled with nitrendipine alone, hydrochlorothiazide or propranolol or both were a...
متن کاملAre calcium antagonists beneficial in diabetic patients with hypertension?
PURPOSE We analyzed the available data to assess the effects of calcium antagonists in hypertensive patients with diabetes mellitus. METHODS We performed a MEDLINE search of English-language articles published until April 2003, using the terms diabetes mellitus, hypertension or blood pressure, and therapy. Pertinent articles cited in the identified papers were also reviewed. We included prosp...
متن کاملHemodynamics in Labile Hypertension
a high cardiac output and a lower than normal total peripheral resistance. It was our feeling, based on this original work, that this pattern might be an early phase or a benign type of essential hypertension. This is a report of the first follow-up study done on a group of such labile hypertensive patients in whom the hemodynamics and clinical status have been studied over a period of 50 month...
متن کاملA comparison of two long-acting vasoselective calcium antagonists in pulmonary hypertension secondary to COPD.
UNLABELLED STUDY OBJECTIVES AND PATIENTS: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is common in COPD and may predict mortality in this disorder. We have compared the pulmonary vasodilator effects, dose-response characteristics, and tolerability of two calcium channel blockers, amlodipine and extended-release (ER) felodipine, in 10 patients (seven men, age 68+/-4.8 [SD] years) with clinically stable COPD and...
