Learn Before

A retrospective review of elderly COVID-19 patients receiving either amlodipine or nifedipine to investigate effects on mortality, hospitalization, and overall progression of the disease

Concept

Discussion of findings from retrospective review of elderly COVID-19 patients receiving either amlodipine or nifedipine

Results convey that amlodipine or nifedipine treatment is associated with significantly improved mortality in elderly COVID-19 patients that are hospitalized
Results strongly suggest that amlodipine or nifedipine treatment is associated with a significantly decreased risk for intubation and mechanical ventilation.
