Postconditioning in reperfusion injury: a status report.

abstract：:In patients with hypertension persisting on combined diuretic and beta-blocker therapy, the effects of an additional 9-week therapy with a calcium antagonist (nifedipine) versus a classical arterial vasodilator (hydralazine) were compared for changes in blood pressure (BP), plasma catecholamines (n = 15), and left ven...
