[Clinical trial by perexiline maleate in treatment of angina pectoris (author's transl)].

A controlled double blind clinical trial has been conducted in 16 patients with "angina pectoris" in order to investigate the effect of Perexiline maleate as compared with prenilamine. Perexiline at the dose of 400 mg/die and prenilamine at the dose of 120 mg/die have been administered over a period of 4 weeks each. Between these periods placebo has been administered for two weeks. The number of attacks of angina and the number of tablets of nitroglycerine used per week by the patient during each period has been used for the evaluation. Furthermore ECG at rest and after exercise has been performed every two weeks. Our results statistically evaluated show a definite antianginal effect of Perexiline. According to our experience Perexiline should be considered the drug of choise in the treatment of angina complicated by bradicardia, left ventricular failure, bronchospasm, and in angina unresponsive to other drugs.

Systemic anaphylaxis induced by physical exertion: a case report.

Anaphylaxis is a systemic reaction which can be very dangerous in many patients. In addition to the most common antigens (drugs, venoms, foods), physical exercise can provoke anaphylaxis in the sensitized patients. The mechanism of this reaction is still unknown. In this report, we describe a case of exercise-induced anaphylaxis in a 25 year old female who had experienced two syncopal attacks during strong physical activity. On other occasions she had noticed that prolonged work would cause urticaria, pruritus and numbness. During hospitalization, on two occasions a treadmill stress test induced bronchial spasm, urticaria and hypotension. We believe that the association of urticaria and anaphylaxis would suggest the possible presence of a vasoactive substance released from the mast-cells and basophil leucocytes.
