Aggravation of myocardial ischaemia by nifedipine. 1985

S T Sia, and P S MacDonald, and B Triester, and L E Oliver, and J D Horowitz, and A J Goble

Three cases in which myocardial ischaemia was possibly precipitated by the administration of nifedipine are reported. It is suggested that the initial administration of nifedipine should be undertaken with caution in patients with unstable ischaemic heart disease.
