[Effect of ethacizine on the heart conduction system and the indicators of central hemodynamics].

A trial of the antiarrhythmic drug ethacizine made in the Soviet Union which is an analogue of ethmozine was performed in 38 patients suffering from coronary heart disease. Automatism, conduction and excitation of the myocardium, hemodynamics and the antiarrhythmic effect were studied using electrophysiological methods, echo-cardiography and Holter monitoring. Ethacizine was found effective in arrhythmia.

[Clinical effectiveness of palpitin in treating heart rhythm disorders in ischemic heart disease patients].

Clinical efficiency of the antiarrhythmic agent palpitin used for the treatment of ventricular and supraventricular extra-systole was assessed in 94 coronary patients, using Holter's ECG monitoring, electrophysiologic studies and rheographic control; reliable evidence in favor of the drug high antiarrhythmic efficiency was obtained.
