| Core Tip |
This retrospective study uniquely compares intravenous nitroglycerin and labetalol for managing hypertensive emergencies in a large South Asian cohort of patients with established coronary artery disease. Although labetalol achieved target blood pressure more rapidly, nitroglycerin provided greater magnitude of blood pressure reduction, significantly lower rates of bradycardia, smaller rises in cardiac biomarkers, shorter intensive care unit and hospital stays, and reduced 30-day readmissions. These findings highlight nitroglycerin’s potential advantages in ischemic contexts and support its preferential use in high-risk coronary artery disease patients within resource-constrained settings. |
