Acute nonhemodynamic pulmonary edema with nifedipine in primary pulmonary hypertension

T Prigogine et al. Chest. 1991 Aug.

Abstract

A 34-year-old man with primary pulmonary hypertension developed acute nonhemodynamic pulmonary edema after a loading dose of nifedipine. Changes of the vascular permeability induced by the drug acting on the arteriolar wall of the capillary system could be an explanation.
