10 patients (6 females and 4 males with an average age of 75 years) with stable angina pectoris were treated transdermally with mepindolol in a balanced, randomized, controlled, crossover study to compare the anti-ischemic effects of 12-hour overnight, and 24-hour applications. The number of angina pectoris attacks, the oral nitrate consumption and the ischemic parameters in 24-hour ECG, i.e. episodes of manifest (MMI) and silent (SMI) myocardial ischemia, the total duration of ischemia and 24-hour heart rate profiles were investigated. Both application schemes showed typical systemic beta blocker effects in all patients and significant clinical efficacy. A dose/effect relationship and a time/effect relationship between the two different application schemes were demonstrated across all the parameters investigated. Systemic and local tolerance of the therapy was good. 2 patients showed transient, mild skin irritation, but only during one phase of the study. Premature discontinuation was not necessary in any cases. There were no relevant changes in the clinical-chemistry. The new therapeutic concept of 24-hour treatment for a. pectoris with 12-hour overnight transdermal applications showed both good clinical efficacy and a good safety profile.
