The variables analyzed were: 1.Heart Rate (HR), 2.The standard deviation of all NN intervals (SDNN), 3.The square root of the mean of the sum of the squares of the differences between adjacent NN intervals (RMSSD), 4.The ratio low frequency/high frequency (LF/HF). As compared to ...

Extreme dizziness, fainting, rapid heartbeat Interactions Depending on the nature of your heart condition, it is likely that your doctor will start you on a low sodium diet to help manage your symptoms. Do not make any drastic changes to your diet without your doctor's knowledge. You should...
Amlodipine is a low-clearance, dihydropyridine calcium antagonist. The slow rate of elimination (elimination half-life of 40-60 h) confers several pharmacokinetic characteristics that are not seen with other calcium-antagonist drugs. It has high oral bioavailability (60-80%) and accumulates ...

heart. In contrast, the non-dihydropyridines, such asverapamilanddiltiazem, block L-type calcium channels in both arterial smooth muscle and the heart. Thus, the latter exert more marked effects in the heart and typically reduce myocardial contractility and heart rate. Because they reduce myocardial...

Statins are a class of prescription medicines that have been used for decades to lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C or “bad”) cholesterol in the blood. Statins work by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the liver and helping the liver remove cholesterol already in the blood. Stati...
Amlodipine preserves circadian patterns of blood pressure changes and has favourable effects on cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance and left ventricular function, but has little effect on heart rate or cardiac conduction. Amlodipine has demonstrated cardioprotective effects in animal studies. ...
