[Anti-ischemic action of the transdermally applied beta-receptor blocker, mepindolol in patients with stable angina pectoris].

Abstract

A new transdermal system (BIO TSD) containing the beta-adrenergic blocker mepindolol was assessed in a placebo controlled clinical trial in 12 patients with coronary heart disease. On therapy, the number of anginal attacks and the consumption of oral nitroglycerin (glyceryl trinitrate) were reduced significantly. During ergometer exercise the exercise tolerance was improved and the ischemic ST-segment depression was reduced significantly. Holter monitoring revealed significant reductions of the number of manifest and silent episodes and the total duration of ischemia. No relevant side effects were observed.
