Overall, eighteen male patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and functional class II and III angina concurrent with stage II hypertensive disease were studied for clinical effectiveness of amlodipine (Norvasc), a new calcium antagonist, versus nifedipine and placebo. It has been ascertained that amlodipine (10 mg/day) had a significant antianginal and anti-ischemic effect and antihypertensive activity throughout 24 hours as well whereas nifedipine was effective for 6 to 8 hours. Amlodipine did not affect the well-being of the examined patients.
