Abstract
160 presenile and senile CHD patients received calcium antagonists nifedipine, verapamil, diltiazem. The highest antianginal effect occurred after a course of verapamil with special effect in those functionally compromised. Rheoencephalographic picture was dependent on the initial functional class of the patient and overall treatment efficacy. The response was associated with low hydrocortisone and thyroxine levels, high glucose tolerance and content of ionized calcium.
