Abstract
The effect of extended-release isosorbide mononitrate (ER-ISMN) on exercise tolerance 1 hour after dosing was compared with that of placebo in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind study of 151 patients with stable effort-induced angina. During a 9- to 24-day placebo run-in, patients underwent Bruce protocol baseline exercise tolerance tests, after which they received ER-ISMN or placebo for 5 days. ER-ISMN patients took 60 mg each morning for the first 4 days and 120 mg on the morning of the fifth day. One hour after dosing, ER-ISMN patients had a significantly greater increase in total exercise time (days 1 to 4: 5 +/- 53 seconds; day 5: 53 +/- 58 seconds) than the placebo-treated patients (days 1 to 4: 14 +/- 37 seconds; day 5: 21 +/- 48) (p <0.001). The times to development of angina and 1-mm ST-segment depression were significantly longer in the ER-ISMN group than in the placebo group. The difference between the groups in mean time to onset of angina was 34 seconds after the 60-mg dose (p = 0.004) and 49 seconds after the 120-mg dose (p <0.001). The mean time to development of a 1-mm ST-segment depression was 51 and 61 seconds longer after the 60-mg and 120-mg ER-ISMN doses, respectively, than after placebo (p <0.001). Tr...Continue Reading
