Abstract

The effect of verapamil on the cardiomyopathic hamster is wellknown from the basic works of Loßnitzer (6–9). It is not known, however, whether different calcium-antagonists have the same cardioprotective potency. In this study we analyzed the effect of bepridil, on the cardiomyopathic hamster. Bepridil is shown to be a calcium antagonistic drug (10) with documented antianginal (1) in humans efficacy.
