felodipine and Cardiovascular Stroke

felodipine has been researched along with Cardiovascular Stroke in 16 studies

Felodipine: A dihydropyridine calcium antagonist with positive inotropic effects. It lowers blood pressure by reducing peripheral vascular resistance through a highly selective action on smooth muscle in arteriolar resistance vessels.
felodipine : The mixed (methyl, ethyl) diester of 4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid. A calcium-channel blocker, it lowers blood pressure by reducing peripheral vascular resistance through a highly selective action on smooth muscle in arteriolar resistance vessels. It is used in the management of hypertension and angina pectoris.

( Casati, C; Forlani, A; Lozza, G; Monopoli, A, 1997)
"For many years the pharmacological treatment of heart failure patients was based on the increase in inotropism through the digitalis and on the reduction in sodium-water retention through diuretics, while less importance was given to the improvement of the afterload."1.29[The role of ACE inhibitors in heart failure. Lessons of CONSENSUS, SOLVD and V-HeFTII]. ( Dessì-Fulgheri, P; Paci, MV; Rappelli, A, 1994)
