What are the effects of Nifedipine on cardiac output and ejection fraction?
Share
Nifedipine typically increases cardiac output and maintains or improves ejection fraction by reducing afterload, thus aiding overall heart function in hypertensive patients.
Nifedipine decreases peripheral resistance, which can lead to an increase in cardiac output and stabilization or improvement of ejection fraction, enhancing heart efficiency in those with hypertension.
