nifedipine and Eisenmenger Complex

nifedipine has been researched along with Eisenmenger Complex in 5 studies

Nifedipine: A potent vasodilator agent with calcium antagonistic action. It is a useful anti-anginal agent that also lowers blood pressure.

Eisenmenger Complex: A condition associated with VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECT and other congenital heart defects that allow the mixing of pulmonary and systemic circulation, increase blood flow into the lung, and subsequent responses to low oxygen in blood. This complex is characterized by progressive PULMONARY HYPERTENSION; HYPERTROPHY of the RIGHT VENTRICLE; CYANOSIS; and ERYTHROCYTOSIS.

( Cheng, CH; Lau, CP; Leung, WH; Wong, CK; Yeung, DW, 1991)
" The individual control showed no effect in 5 patients, an unfavorable effect by a decrease of Rs exceeding that of Rp in 2 patients, and a favorable net effect in only 3 patients, induced in 1 patient only after a very high dosage of nifedipine and leading to a certain increase of arterial oxygen saturation in only 1 other patient."6.68[Comparative studies of hemodynamics under prostacyclin and nifedipine in patients with Eisenmenger syndrome].
