Significats de nifedipine retard en anglès

The patients were randomized to 3 years of treatment with either nifedipine retard or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor.

The incidence of cardiac events and mortality did not differ between the nifedipine retard and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor therapies.

There were 828 patients subjected to intention-to-treat analysis in the nifedipine retard group and 822 patients in the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor group.

Nifedipine retard seems to be as effective as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors in reducing the incidence of cardiac events and mortality.
