1 Improvement in physical performance, based on exercise tolerance, self‐assessed work and physician‐rated functional capacities, is proposed as a measure of efficacy of anti‐anginal therapy in the rehabilitation of the cardiac patient. 2 Improved physical performance parallels changes in frequency of anginal attacks and a nitroglycerin requirements following beta‐blocker therapy. 3 Nadolol (a beta‐ blocker), given once daily is as effective as propranolol, given four times daily as an anti‐anginal agent.
