Abstract The acute effects of slow-release nifedipine and isosorbide dinitrate on exercise tolerance were compared in nine patients with isolated total coronary artery occlusion showing retrograde filling via collaterals. All patients had a reproducible positive exercise stress test off medication before the study. Each patient was randomized to 10 mg slow-release nifedipine and 5 mg isosorbide dinitrate in a single-blind, cross-over study. The exercise stress test was performed 30 minutes after drug administration. After nifedipine, three patients had a negative exercise stress test, whereas the test was negative after isosorbide dinitrate only in one patient. A significantly higher exercise tolerance was detected at peak exercise after nifedipine than after isosorbide dinitrate, as shown by a longer exercise time (380 +/- 44 vs. 295 +/- 41 seconds, p less than 0.001), a more increased maximum work load (355 +/- 89 vs. 255 +/- 55 W x min, p less than 0.02), and a higher rate-pressure product (30,300 +/- 2,500 vs. 26,100 +/- 2,700, p less than 0.01). In conclusion, these results seem to suggest that nifedipine may have a vasomotor effect on collaterals, since it elevated the threshold of ischemia more than isosorbide dinitrate did in patients with isolated coronary artery occlusion, showing retrograde filling via collaterals.

Abstract

Abstract The acute effects of slow-release nifedipine and isosorbide dinitrate on exercise tolerance were compared in nine patients with isolated total coronary artery occlusion showing retrograde filling via collaterals. All patients had a reproducible positive exercise stress test off medication before the study. Each patient was randomized to 10 mg slow-release nifedipine and 5 mg isosorbide dinitrate in a single-blind, cross-over study. The exercise stress test was performed 30 minutes after drug administration. After nifedipine, three patients had a negative exercise stress test, whereas the test was negative after isosorbide dinitrate only in one patient. A significantly higher exercise tolerance was detected at peak exercise after nifedipine than after isosorbide dinitrate, as shown by a longer exercise time (380 +/- 44 vs. 295 +/- 41 seconds, p less than 0.001), a more increased maximum work load (355 +/- 89 vs. 255 +/- 55 W x min, p less than 0.02), and a higher rate-pressure product (30,300 +/- 2,500 vs. 26,100 +/- 2,700, p less than 0.01). In conclusion, these results seem to suggest that nifedipine may have a vasomotor effect on collaterals, since it elevated the threshold of ischemia more than isosorbide dinitrate did in patients with isolated coronary artery occlusion, showing retrograde filling via collaterals.
