Felodipine yields modest exercise gains in stable angina; challenges its use as effective monotherapy.
Does felodipine as a single agent improve haemodynamic function and exercise capacity in patients with stable angina?
Felodipine as a single agent provides limited antianginal efficacy in stable angina, possibly due to reflex tachycardia.
Metcalfe et al. (1989) studied this question.
