title: [Comparative evaluation of the results of the bicycle ergometry test in patients with stress stenocardia after treatment with propranolol and nifedipine].
abstract: The results of bicycle ergometry (BE) following administration of placebo, 80 mg propranolol (anaprilin), 30 mg nifedipine (corinfar) and a combination of 60 mg propranolol and 20 mg nifedipine were reviewed in coronary patients with angina pectoris of functional classes (FC) II-IV. Patients with FC-II angina showed the greatest increment in stress tolerance after nifedipine administration, and patients with FC-IV angina, after propranolol, apparently due to a predominance of the functional (coronaro-spastic) pathogenetic factor in the FC-II angina, and the organic factor, in angina of more severe functional classes. In patients belonging to FC-III, the two drugs had similar antianginal efficiency. Stress tolerance increased considerably after simultaneous administration of both drugs in all patients with angina of effort, irrespective of functional class.
