nicardipine and Hypertrophy, Left Ventricular

nicardipine has been researched along with Hypertrophy, Left Ventricular in 6 studies

Nicardipine: A potent calcium channel blockader with marked vasodilator action. It has antihypertensive properties and is effective in the treatment of angina and coronary spasms without showing cardiodepressant effects. It has also been used in the treatment of asthma and enhances the action of specific antineoplastic agents.
nicardipine : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of (R)- and (S)-nicardipine. It is a calcium channel blocker which is used to treat hypertension.
2-[benzyl(methyl)amino]ethyl methyl 2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate : A dihydropyridine that is 1,4-dihydropyridine substituted by a methyl, {2-[benzyl(methyl)amino]ethoxy}carbonyl, 3-nitrophenyl, methoxycarbonyl and methyl groups at positions 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively.

Hypertrophy, Left Ventricular: Enlargement of the LEFT VENTRICLE of the heart. This increase in ventricular mass is attributed to sustained abnormal pressure or volume loads and is a contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The effects of long-term treatment with sustained-release nicardipine (nicardipine SR) on left ventricular hypertrophy and function were studied."7.69Effects of long-term treatment with sustained-release nicardipine on left ventricular hypertrophy and function in patients with essential hypertension. ( Hiwada, K; Imamura, Y; Joh, T; Matsubara, W; Ochi, T; Sumimoto, T, 1994)
"We investigated the potential role of increased plasma adrenomedullin and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels in a patient with malignant hypertension."7.69Antihypertensive therapy reduces increased plasma levels of adrenomedullin and brain natriuretic peptide concomitant with regression of left ventricular hypertrophy in a patient with malignant hypertension. ( Ishikawa, K; Kangawa, K; Kawano, Y; Kitamura, K; Matsuo, H; Matsuoka, H; Nishikimi, T; Omae, T; Saito, Y; Yoshihara, F, 1996)
"The aim of this study was to compare the effects of a calcium antagonist, nicardipine SR, with an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, alacepril, on the regression of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and function."5.08Both a calcium antagonist and ACE inhibitor reverse hypertrophy in hypertension but a calcium antagonist also depresses contractility. ( Hiwada, K; Ito, T; Joh, T; Muneta, S; Ochi, T; Sumimoto, T, 1997)
" Although the role of antihypertensive therapy in regression of LVH remains controversial, the calcium antagonist nicardipine appears to have an important role to play in the treatment of LVH in hypertension and in congestive heart failure."4.78Therapeutic advances in the treatment of left ventricular hypertrophy.
