Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Acute effects of nicardipine and esmolol on the cardiac cycle, intracardiac hemodynamic and endothelial shear stress in patients with unstable angina pectoris and moderate coronary stenosis: results from single center, randomized study.
This study aimed to compare the acute effects of nicardipine and esmolol on hemodynamic and endothelial shear stress (ESS) in patients with unstable angina (UA) and moderate coronary stenosis (MCS). ⋯ Beyond a similar reduction of AP, patients with UA and MCS could benefit more from the reduction of heart rate induced by esmolol (ChiCTR-TRC-10000964).
