How does nifedipine worsen ischemic heart disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reflex: It causes a reflex tachycardia if it's not prescribed with a second med to hold down heart rate. Tachycardia (increased heart rate) is harmful when the heart is not receiving adequate circulation (ischemic heart disease).
