Abstract

The employment of Cordaron (Amidaron) in 50 patients with different arrhythmias proved effective in 86% of the cases. Cordaron was most effective in the treatment and prevention of paroxysmal tachycardia, ventricular extrasystole, paroxysmal cardiac fibrillation. It decreases the pulse rate and moderately decreases the arterial pressure without imparing the patients' state. The drug has practically no toxic effect, is well tolerated, convenient for administration and dosage. Cardiovascular insufficiency is no contraindication for its prescription. Carefulness is needed in prescribing Cordaron to patients with atrioventricular conductivity disorders.
