title: [Evaluation of the efficacy of verapamil and nifedipine as long-term crossover therapy with individually selected doses in ischemic heart disease. Work Group for the Cooperative Study of Antianginal Preparations (SCAP)].
abstract: Paired bicycle ergometric tests are an adequate means for the selection of an antianginal agent to be used on a long-term basis in anginal patients. It allows to choose the most effective type of antianginal medication out of three major groups (the nitrates, calcium antagonists and beta-adrenoblockers) and determine the dose and regimen of administration that would be optimum for an individual patient. Teh efficiency of verapamil and nifedipine was similar during long-term treatment with individually-selected doses in those cases where calcium antagonists were found to be preferable. Administration regimens of the two drugs were, however, somewhat different.
