Verapamil administration in variant angina pectoris. Efficacy shown by ecg monitoring.
Six patients with Prinzmetal's variant angina were treated with oral verapamil administration. Before and after the initiation of therapy, ambulatory ECG monitoring was performed to assess objectively the response to therapy. With verapamil administration, the frequency of both chest pain and transient ST-segment deviations was sharply diminished.
