title: Effects of nicorandil, an antianginal potassium channel opener, on left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in patients with chronic coronary artery disease.
abstract: We compared the effects of nicorandil with nitroglycerin and nifedipine on left ventricular function. Intravenous nicorandil may be a balanced-typed vasodilator and useful in patients with left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction.
