What are the benefits of verapamil in treating unstable angina?
Verapamil has been shown to be beneficial in reducing recurrent ischemia and mortality in patients with unstable angina. Studies such as the Calcium Antagonist Reinfarction Italian Study (CRIS) and the Danish Verapamil Infarction Trial (DAVIT) have found that verapamil can reduce recurrent ischemia and mortality in patients with unstable angina. In addition, a review of randomized trials found that verapamil was associated with improved health outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease.
