The impact of intravenous infusion of nifedipine and nitroglycerin on invasive central hemodynamic parameters and microcirculation was compared in 94 patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by heart failure. The artery dilating effects of nifedipine were associated with baseline peripheral vascular tone, so the comparison was made separately in the groups with and without vasoconstriction. Nifedipine seems to be beneficial in the management of heart failure due to acute myocardial infarction in patients with systemic vasoconstriction. In patients with severe pulmonary congestion and normal left ventricular afterload, the intravenous vasodilators are preferable.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
