[Stimulators of beta-adrenergic structures in treatment of ischemic heart disease]

The beneficial effect of stimulators of beta-adrenergic structures (Myophedrin on the haemodynamics and the inotropic function of the myocardium was demonstrated experimentally (in 12 rabbits) and clinically (in 53 patients with ischaemic heart disease). A positive effect of the treatment was noted in 45.5% of those patients in whom ischaemic heart disease manifested itself in angina decubitus and angina of effort.
