In patients with stable angina pectoris aminophylline, a nonselective antagonist of adenosine receptors, markedly improves exercise capacity. To establish the role played by A1 adenosine receptors in the anti-ischemic action of aminophylline, the effects of bamiphylline, a selective A1 antagonist, on exercise-induced ischemia were investigated in patients with stable angina pectoris.
