Practolol in treatment of angina pectoris. A double-blind trial.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Twenty-four patients with angina pectoris entered a double-blind trial of the cardioselective beta-adrenergic blocking agent practolol. Seventeen experienced less angina and consumed fewer glyceryl trinitrate tablets when on the active preparation. There was also a decrease in the mean number of attacks suffered by patients while on practolol and a reduction in the number of glyceryl trinitrate tablets taken. These results are of statistical significance at, at least, the 5% level.

In 11 patients with severe angina pectoris a new beta-blocking drug, atenolol (Tenormin; I.C.I.66082), was found in a double-blind randomized trial to reduce significantly the frequency of anginal attacks (P less than 0-001) and the amount of trinitrin consumed (P less than 0-03) in comparison with practolol and placebo. There was no significant improvement in the patients' ability to exercise ...
