| | nifedipine |
 | | Nifedipine, which dilates coronary vessels, is effective in treating variant angina. | | | In some patients, nifedipine may aggravate anginal symptoms due to reflex increase in sympathetic tone. | | | Because of the unopposed sympathetic reflex, nifedipine is more likely to increase HR and aggravate myocardial ischemia more than calcium channel blockers such as verapamil or diltiazem. |
