title: Mepindolol sulfate in the hyperkinetic heart syndrome.
abstract: In a single-blind test vs placebo in two crossover therapy phases, each lasting 4 weeks, it was shown in six clinical cases of hyperkinetic heart syndrome that 2 X 2.5 mg mepindolol sulfate daily is able to (1) lower significantly the HR and the systolic BP at rest and during exercise on the ergometer, (2) normalize or increase by 100% the restricted effective working capacity, and (3) improve the subjective symptoms. Mepindolol sulfate can accordingly be regarded as an effective therapeutic agent in hyperkinetic heart syndrome.
