After examining the properties of the 3 most widely used calcium antagonists, the paper assesses the efficacy of Diltiazem in reducing blood pressure rises after exercise in a group of 7 patients with chronic atrial fibrillation. The blood pressure response to a standard load (50 W x 3 m2) on the exercise cycle was monitored in a group of patients under chronic digitalis treatment (phase I) after which the same patients' response to varying doses of Diltiazem (180-240 mg/day) was assessed (phase II) and finally (phase III) their response to treatment with Diltiazem alone but no digitalis. A significantly greater reduction in the systolic pressure and heart rate after exercise was noted in patients given Diltiazem with or without Digoxin than in those given digitalis alone. It is therefore concluded that Diltiazem may be useful in controlled blood pressure and heart rate increases after exercise, especially in patients with ischaemic heart disease.
