COMPARATIVE ANTIARRHYTHMIC EFFICACY OF AC TIVATORS IN THE BODY STRESS-LIMITING SYSTEMS OF PATIENTS WITH CARDIAC-ARRHYTHMIAS

The antiarrhythmic effects produced by activators of the body's stress -limiting systems were comparatively evaluated in patients with cardia c arrhythmias of ischemic and non-ischemic etiology. Acediprol, gidaze pam, and befol were found to be beneficial in ventricular premature co ntraction when psychoemotional stress was simulated, as evidenced by 2 4-hour monitoring. The most pronounced protective therapeutical effect of the drugs was observed in patients with arrhythmias of extracorona ry origin and in individuals with a marked arrhythmogenic effect of st ress. Gidazepam was shown to suppres the provocative arrhythmogenic ef fect of the stress test.
