title: Effect of xamoterol on haemodynamics and plasma catecholamines in chronic heart failure.
abstract: The effects of xamoterol on haemodynamics and plasma catecholamines were studied at rest and after exercise in patients with mild to moderate heart failure, using a symptom-limited exercise test. Exercise duration and myocardial efficiency were significantly increased, and heart rate on maximal exercise was reduced despite increased catecholamine levels.
