Am J Cardiol. 2001 Mar 15;87(6):777-9, A8. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(00)01503-4.

Abstract

We evaluated the efficiacy of oral diypridamole therapy for the normalization of angiographically determined slow coronary artery flow. Diypridamole, which has dilatator properties on coronary microvessels, proved to be an effective treatment in most patients with slow coronary artery flow.
