Abstract

Objective: To study the therapeutic effects of low-dose amiodarone and Betaloc on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy complicated by malignant ventricular arrhythmias.

Methods: Eighty-two such patients were selected and divided into a treatment group and a control group by the random number method (n=41), which were administered with low-dose amiodarone plus Betaloc and individual Betaloc respectively.

Results: The treatment group had a significantly higher overall effective rate (85.4%) than the control group (65.9%) did. Based on the New York Heart Association
