  • Title: Antianginal effect of isosorbide dinitrate spray in patients with exercise-induced stable angina.
    Author: Aärynen M, Soininen K.
    Journal: J Int Med Res; 1986; 14(6):303-5. PubMed ID: 3803701.
    Abstract:
    Ten patients with stable exercise-induced angina took part in this study. Isosorbide dinitrate and placebo sprays were administered in a double-blind, randomized crossover study. The dose of isosorbide dinitrate given was two squirts (= 2.5 mg) 2 min before testing. When taken before exercise it significantly improved (p less than 0.014) exercise tolerance. Significant (p less than 0.0005) ischaemic changes in the electrocardiogram also occurred. These effects occurred later than with placebo. Exercise time was prolonged with the active drug. The results of this study show that isosorbide dinitrate spray improves the exercise tolerance of patients with ischaemic heart disease.
