Abstract
A crossover study with 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was conducted on 30 hypertensive patients, using slow-release preparations of verapamil and nifedipine. Both drugs proved effective hypotensive agents. Nifedipine was slightly, but not significantly, more potent. Fewer side effects were observed with verapamil, but both drugs were well tolerated.
