title: [The normalizing effect of ECG in exercise tolerance tests under molsidomine in different dosages (author's transl].
abstract: In 15 patients with coronary heart disease and typical ST-segment depression during and/or after increasing physical effort in supine cycloergometry the normalizing effect of different dosages of Molsidomine on the electrocardiogram under effort was investigated in 74 exercise tolerance tests. Already after application of 0,5 mg Molsidomine there was observed a significant positive effect in comparison to an identical workload without drug. The normalizing effect was further increased by raising the dosage ot 1 mg or 2 mg respectively. To the administration of 3 mg only 1 out of 10 patients in the trial responded with an additional normalizing effect on the ECG since the rest of the patients showed already normal ECGs on 2 mg. This dose relationship also was observed in the pressure-rate-product. There was a dose-dependent decrease from which we can conclude a relief of the working myocardium. Under effort without drug 13 of 15 patients complained about stenocardia. Under the same effort and under Molsidomine however there were no more of these complaints. Because of these results it is recommended to use 2 mg of Molsidomine as a dosage in daily routine. It is needed 2 or 3 times dialy since in previous investigations there was shown a long-lasting effect over more than 5 hours. 3 out of 15 patients showed side effects which were only weak headache or weak congestion in the head.
