Effect of supplemental oral L-arginine on exercise capacity in patients with stable angina pectoris.

چکیده
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with clinical symptoms of stable angina pectoris and healed myocardial infarction (n = 22) has shown that oral supplementation with L-arginine (6 g/day for 3 days) increases exercise capacity (tested on a Marquette case 12 treadmill according to the modified Bruce protocol). Results suggest that the inefficient L-arginine/nitric oxide system contributes to limitation of myocardial perfusion and/or peripheral vasodilation during maximum exercise in patients with stable angina pectoris.

We studied the effect of a single oral dose of 40 mg of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) on the exercise capacity of ten patients with angina pectoris. The study design was a randomized double-blind crossover comparing the effects of 40 mg of oral PETN with placebo on exercise tolerance. Patients were exercised to moderate angina pectoris before and 2 1/2 and 4 1/2 hours after receiving the ...
