[Comparative pharmacodynamic study of Cordanum and obzidan in stress angina pectoris patients]
Abstract:
The effect of different single doses of beta-blockers cordanum (talinolol) and obsidan was comparatively studied in 10 patients with angina pectoris of effort. The pharmacodynamic study was performed according to an original technique consisting in a sequence of monitored repeated identical treadmill exercise. The effect of the drug was evaluated by the reduction in ST-segment depression during exercise. Hemodynamic effect of cordanum was 1.7 lower than that of obsidan. The reduction of ST-segment depression effected by cordanum was 2.6 lower than in case of the corresponding doses of obsidan. The effect did not correlate with the heart rate and the double product; it terminated within 4--5 hrs.

Antianginal Drugs: Nitrates and β-Blockers
Organic nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, play a pivotal role. Once metabolized, they liberate nitric oxide, a molecular marvel. Nitric oxide triggers guanylyl cyclase and augments cGMP production. This biochemical cascade orchestrates the relaxation of vascular smooth muscles, ushering in vasodilation and enhancing coronary blood flow. Administered...
