The assessment of an antiarrhythmic agent, sustained-release procainamide, with the aid of Holter monitoring. 1977

G E Bauer, and A S Mitchell, and F Bates, and K Hellestrand

A sustained-release preparation of procainamide (PAD) was evaluated in a double-blind cross-over study. The preparation was found to reduce ventricular ectopic activity in all seven patients who completed the investigation in five patients the effectiveness reached the defined level of significance. A larger clinical trial to assess the long-term use of this preparation in terms of efficacy, safety and convenience is recommended.
