Medical - Medical: Cardiology / stress testing
French term or phrase: non ralentisseur
From a stress test:

Médications: bêta-bloquants, antagoniste du Ca type non ralentisseur, antiagrégants, anticholestérol, divers

So, 'calcium channel blocker...'

It is something to do with not slowing down heart rate?

Thanks!

"Add in a calcium channel blocker (CCB). NOTE: The non-rate-limiting CCB (e.g. nifedipine, amlodipine, felodipine) can be used safely with beta-blockers but take care with the rate-limiting CCB: diltiazem can be used with caution with beta-blockers but verapamil is contraindicated (it is a greater negative inotrope than diltiazem)."
