Effects of zatebradine (ULFS 49 CL), a sinus node inhibitor, on heart rate and exercise duration in chronic stable angina pectoris. Zatebradine Investigators.

Abstract

Zatebridine selectively reduces resting and exercise heart rate without any other myocardial effects. In this study, despite significant reductions in resting and exercise heart rate, there were no clinically significant effects on myocardial ischemia, suggesting that the anti-ischemic effect of heart rate reduction should be reevaluated.
