[Comparison of the effects of bepridil and diltiazem in Prinzmetal's angina. Crossed, randomized, double-blind study. Apropos of 14 cases].

Abstract

The efficacy of bepridil was compared with that of diltiazem in treatment of Prinzmetal's angina, in a crossed, randomized double-blind study of 14 observations using repeated Holter recordings (a total of 9 for each patient). Clinical and electrical monitoring showed that the efficacy of bepridil is comparable to that of diltiazem in treatment of spastic angina.
