Zusammenfassung: | Seventy-one patients submitted routinely to coronary artery bypass surgery were randomized into 2 groups. Group A (32 patients) received 24 hr after initiation of surgery an intravenous perfusion of 100 mg of acebutolol given over 24 hr (22 cases) or 600 mg administered orally (10 cases). On subsequent days, they received 1200 mg of acebutolol/day orally. Group B (39 patients) was used as control. The groups were comparable in terms of age, sex, severity of coronary disease, preoperative therapy, duration of extracorporeal circulation, aortic clamping time, and immediate postoperative haemodynamic findings. No patient received digitalis. During hospital stay (10 days), 1 group A patient (3%) and 13 group B patients (33%;
