Nisoldipine: a replacement therapy for nifedipine in the treatment of severe hypertension.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Increased salt intake may induce hypertension, lead to cardiac hypertrophy, and exacerbate heart failure. When elderly patients develop heart failure, diastolic dysfunction is often observed, although the ejection fraction has decreased. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an established risk factor for heart failure....
