For the class of dihydropyridine CCB, prolonged treatment with nifedipine does not increase heart rate, cardiac output or systolic volume
Some CCBs like verapamil and diltiazem often lower heart rate. As it turns out, short-acting nifedipine can briefly raise the heart rate. But short-acting nifedipine is rarely prescribed. Long-acting nifedipine usually has no significant effect on heart rate. There are a few situations where nifedipine can lower the heart rate.

increase in heart rate may occur. Thus, blood pressure and heart rate should be monitored carefully during nifedipine therapy. Close
