Studies in animals have demonstrated that, in addition to their vascular effects, calcium channel blockers have important effects on baroreceptor function. We performed a series of experiments to determine if nifedipine, in doses employed clinically, alters baroreflex control of vascular resistance in normal humans. Forearm vasoconstrictor responses of 14 normal subjects to unloading of baroreceptors with lower body negative pressure (LBNP), to a cold pressor test and during intra-arterial infusions of norepinephrine were studied in the control state and following administration of nifedipine. Nifedipine had no effect on baseline mean arterial pressure or central venous pressure. Heart rate and forearm blood flow (FBF) increased significantly following nifedipine: heart rate = 59.7 ± 2.4 bpm before and 72.6 ± 4.4 bpm after nifedipine (mean ± SE,p< 0.001, n = 14); FBF = 4.6 ± 0.4 ml · min−1· 100 ml−1before and 6.7 ± 1.0 ml · min1· 100 ml−1after nifedipine (p< 0.02, n = 14). Forearm vascular resistance (FVR) tended to decrease following nifedipine but the difference was not significant: FVR = 21.1 ± 1.4 units before and 17.8 ± 2.3 units after nifedipine (p= 0.07, n = 14). Nifedipine attenuated forearm vasoconstrictor responses to cold pressor stimulus: ΔFVR during cold pressor test = +10.3 ± 2.4 units before and +4.7 ± 1.4 units after nifedipine (p< 0.02, n = 14). Likewise, nifedipine depressed vasoconstrictor responses to intra-arterial infusion of norepinephrine: ΔFVR during norepinephrine = +15.5 ± 3.4 units before and +10.2 ± 2.9 units after nifedipine (p< 0.05, n = 7). In contrast, the vasoconstrictor responses to unloading of baroreceptors with LBNP were not altered by nifedipine: ΔFVR during LBNP −10 mm Hg = +4.8 ± 1.7 units before and +4.1 ± 1.1 units after the drug (p= NS, n = 14); ΔFVR during LBNP −40 mm Hg = +15.0 ± 2.1 units before and +15.6 ± 3.0 units after nifedipine (p= NS, n = 14). The finding that baroreflex responses were preserved despite a decrease in vascular responsiveness suggests that nifedipine sensitizes baroreflexes in normal humans. These effects following a therapeutic dose of nifedipine may have implications in the therapeutic use of this agent.
