Overview

Dipyridamole is a pyrimidopyrimidine derivative with poor anti-thrombotic efficacy and therefore not recommended for anti-platelet therapy in patients with chronic stable angina.[1] Dipyridamole may also exacerbate anginal symptoms due to coronary steal phenomenon.[2]

Dipyridamole

Mechanisms of Benefit

  • Dipyridamole is a pyrimido-pyrimidine derivative.
  • Dipyridamole exerts vasodilator effects on coronary resistance vessels.

Contraindications

Dipyridamole enhances exercise-induced myocardial ischemia even the usual oral dosage and hence it not used as an anti-platelet agent in patients with stable angina.

Adverse Effects

Supportive Trial Data

In a post hoc analysis that investigated cardiac events in patients with coronary heart disease or MI at study entry, dipyridamole therapy did not result in a higher number of cardiac events such as angina pectoris, MI or death from all causes.[3]

Class III (No Benefit)
"1. Dipyridamole is not recommended as antiplatelet therapy for patients with SIHD. (Level of Evidence: B) "
