Blood pressure/heart rate data were available for 18 patients before and after ziprasidone IM and 12 for combined conventional agents. No overall pre-post changes in blood pressure were found, but pulse decreased 8.3 ± 2.4 for haloperidol combined with lorazepam and 8.9 ± 4.24 for ziprasidone (P = NS). SYS = systolic blood pressure; DIA = diastolic blood pressure; HR = heart rate; PRE = prior to treatment with IM medication; POST = after treatment with IM medication.
