Amlodipine in post-infarction angina.

¹University Department of Cardiovascular Studies, General Infirmary, Leeds, UK.

|January 1, 1992

Summary

Amlodipine, a once-daily medication, effectively treats angina pectoris, especially in post-myocardial infarction patients. It reduces angina attacks and improves exercise capacity, making it a valuable therapeutic option.

Background:

Angina pectoris is a common condition, particularly in patients post-myocardial infarction.
Effective management of angina is crucial for improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy of once-daily amlodipine in patients suffering from post-myocardial infarction angina.
To assess the impact of amlodipine on angina attack frequency, nitroglycerin use, and exercise tolerance.

Main Methods:

A study was conducted on a significant subgroup of patients with post-myocardial infarction angina.
The administration of amlodipine was on a once-daily basis.

Main Results:

Amlodipine significantly reduced the number of angina attacks and the consumption of nitroglycerin.
Patients experienced a substantial improvement in their physical exercise capacity.
The circadian rhythm of angina attacks, particularly the mid-morning peak, was notably attenuated.

Conclusions:

Once-daily amlodipine is highly effective for managing angina pectoris in post-myocardial infarction patients.
The drug's ability to reduce angina symptoms and improve physical function supports its use in therapy.
