    Notes: Summary. A newly developed calcium antagonist, nilvadipine, was administered to 7 hypertensive patients aged 75.6 y. Nilvadipine 4 mg b.d. decreased the average 24-h blood pressure significantly from 169/89 mm Hg to 152/81 mm Hg after 7 to 14 days without any change in the pulse rate. The circadian patterns of blood pressure and pulse rate were not affected by nilvadipine. Although the present study was a preliminary one done over a short period in a small number of patients, the results suggest that nilvadipine exerts an antihypertensive effect without altering the circadian pattern or the variability of blood pressure in elderly hypertensive patients.

    Notes: Summary Fourteen normotensive patients with liver disease (6 with cirrhosis and 8 with chronic hepatitis) and 7 healthy volunteers were given a single oral dose of nilvadipine 2 mg. In addition, nilvadipine 4 mg was administered orally twice daily for several months to 6 hypertensive patients with mild liver dysfunction and 18 hypertensives with normal liver function. A significant increase in plasma nilvadipine was found in the patients with cirrhosis as compared both to the normal and chronic hepatitis subjects; the time to peak concentration was similar among the three groups. The peak plasma nilvadipine concentration was closely correlated both with the serum albumin level and the retention of indocyanine green. Changes in blood pressure, pulse rate and various vasoactive hormones following a single oral dose of nilvadipine did not differ between the groups. Thus, an increase in plasma nilvadipine relative to the level in normal subjects was demonstrated in patients with cirrhosis following a single oral dose, as well as in patients with slight liver dysfunction following long-term oral administration.
