Abstract

Constant-frequency transesophageal atrial pacing was used in 87 patients with coronary heart disease concurrent with stable angina pectoris of various functional classes (I-IV). This technique, as a bicycle ergometric test, allows one to assess the functional class of patients with angina and to ascertain the antianginal effect of agents, which was exemplified by erinit given in doses of 80 and 120 mg.
