Some CCBs like verapamil and diltiazem often lower heart rate. As it turns out, short-acting nifedipine can briefly raise the heart rate. But short-acting nifedipine is rarely prescribed. Long-acting nifedipine usually has no significant effect on heart rate. There are a few situations where nifedipine can lower the heart rate.
Some CCBs also block calcium going into the conducting cells in the heart and have the added effect of slowing the heart rate. nifedipine and amlodipine) and
The heart rate in the initial interval after drug administration was increased by up to 17.9 beats/minute. The exposure to quinidine was not importantly changed in the presence of nifedipine. Monitoring of heart rate and adjustment of the nifedipine dose, if necessary, are recommended when quinidine is added to a treatment with nifedipine.
The treatment with nifedipine retard increased the mean heart rate of patients. Amlodipine therapy in comparison to nifedipine retard did not change the heart rate in treated patients. Safety parameters: SGOT, SGTP, creatinine and others were in laboratory norms ranges.
Nicardipine is a second-generation dihydroperidine calcium antagonist that unlike nifedipine causes little, if any, increase in heart rate.
