[The effect of calcium antagonists on the hemodynamic function in patients with heart failure].

The therapeutic effect of calcium antagonists corinfar and phinoptin was studied in 48 patients with ischemic heart disease with chronic circulatory insufficient (CCI). The hemodynamic effects of these calcium antagonists were characterized by an increase of indices of cardiac contraction and essential reduction of the general peripheral resistance with simultaneous reduction of the left ventricle volumes during diastole and systole. It is concluded that corinfar and phinoptin are indicated in patients with CCI.
