*Cardiologv Department, St Marv's Hospital, London W2 1NY, and'1Cardiology Department, Oldchurch Hospital, Romford, Essex, U.K. KEY WORDS: Verapamil, sustained-release, nifedipine, angina pectoris. In a randomised, double-blind, crossover study of oral sustained-release verapamil 360 mg o.d. ('SR-verapamil') and oral nifedipine 20 mg t.d.s. in 19 patients with chronic stable angina pectoris, significantly greater improvement from baseline was seen with SR-verapamil than with nifedipine. Mean exercise duration was 380± 108 s with SR-verapamil and 343 ±130 s with nifedipine (P
