Nicardipine, a new calcium channel blocking drug of the dihydropyridine family, was administered to 63 patients at a dose of 30 or 40 mg 3 times daily in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial. Nicardipine midly increased heart rate (HR) at rest and midly decreased the blood pressure (BP) at rest. When generally similar responses to the 30- and 40-mg doses were averaged, nicardipine produced a 7% increase in peak exercise HR, which was balanced by a 6% decrease in peak exercise BP. Thus, no change occurred in the exercise HR-BP product. With nicardipine, treadmill exercise duration increased 9%, time to angina increased 15%, time to 1-mm ST-segment depression increased 16%, and oxygen consumption at peak exercise increased 13%. Mean anginal frequency declined, as did mean weekly sublingual nitroglycerin consumption, but not significantly. There were more cardiovascular side effects with nicardipine than with placebo, with at least 3 patients having increased angina judged by investigators as probably related to the drug. Vasodilatory side effects were also more frequent with nicardipine, but were generally mild and well tolerated; the drug had to be discontinued in only 1 patient, because of vasodilatory effects. Nicardipine is effective and generally well tolerated in patients with chronic stable angina.
