[Comparative pharmacodynamics study of korinfar and isoptin in ischemic heart disease].

The effect of Korinfar (30 and 50 mg) and isoptin (120 and 200 mg) on exercise tolerance was studied in 11 patients with angina pectoris of effort using the double blind crossover method. Both doses of Korinfar and 120 mg of isoptin increased cardiac output by 70--80% and 200 mg of isoptin--by 136%. Korinfar had a pronounced growth hypotensive effect and induced tachycardia, which is an increased dose hindered growth of exercise tolerance. The negative chronotropic effect of isoptin increased its efficacy. As a result of calcium antagonists action a stable threshold double product was established, and its was higher, than the control one.
