    Abstract:
    The efficacy of intravenous cibenzoline in the treatment of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias was demonstrated in a French trial of 212 patients including 40 in the acute phase of myocardial infarction. The minimal therapeutic plasma concentration was about 0.3 microgram/ml: this was obtained by a loading dose of 1 mg/kg relayed by a perfusion of 8 mg/kg/24 hours. The clinical tolerance was satisfactory in 96.2% of cases when the contra-indications were respected (severe cardiac failure, intraventricular conduction defects and non-paced 2nd and 3rd degree atrioventricular block). Local tolerance was excellent in all cases.
