Background: Past studies have suggested that amlodipine, a dihydropyridine L-type Ca(2) channel antagonist, may exert useful effects in congestive heart failure (CHF). The present study examined the effects of amlodipine or nifedipine treatment in a model of developing CHF on left ventricular (LV) pump function and myocyte contractility.
Amlodipine is one of the least likely DHPs to cause reflex tachycardia and therefore can be used in CHF as well as to control HTN and angina.
Amlodipine is in a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers. Hypertensive Heart (w/o CHF) and Renal Disease; Hypertensive Renal

Let's look at some nursing considerations with amlodipine, assess your patient for signs of CHF and angina, monitor your patient's blood pressure and pulse.

Each tablet contains 10 mg amlodipine (as amlodipine besilate). Abbreviations: CHF, congestive heart failure; CI, confidence interval; MI, myocardial.
by ER Mohler 2024 Cited by 184Amlodipine lowers plasma IL-6 levels in patients with CHF. The beneficial effect of amlodipine in CHF may be due to a reduction of cytokines such as IL-6.
BTW. Standalone CHF taking down an otherwise healty person like that??? No afib, no obesity, no alcoholism, no bundle blockage or left side failure??
