Practolol in Treatment of Angina Pectoris. A Double-blind Trial

C F George, R E Nagle, B L Pentecost
PMCID: PMC1700308  PMID: 4392984

Abstract

Twenty-four patients with angina pectoris entered a double-blind trial of the cardioselective beta-adrenergic blocking agent practolol. Seventeen experienced less angina and consumed fewer glyceryl trinitrate tablets when on the active preparation. There was also a decrease in the mean number of attacks suffered by patients while on practolol and a reduction in the number of glyceryl trinitrate tablets taken. These results are of statistical significance at, at least, the 5% level.
