ABSTRACT
Angina For stable patients, there is minimal risk for sex or ED therapy. Nitrates and nicorandil are contraindications to PDE5 inhibitors. On
most occasions these can safely be discontinued. Heart rate-slowing drugs are the most effective anti-anginal agents:
beta-blockers, verapamil, diltiazem. Use an exercise ECG to stratify risk (see page 2), if unsure.
