A total of 49 patients with chronic ischaemic heart disease (38 of whom had previously survived myoca dial infarction) were treated with Piridoxylate administered intramuscularly and orally. The treatment resulted in an improvement of the state of 2/3 of the patients, positive ECG shifts, improvements of cardio- and haemodynamics at rest and under physical exercises. In half of the patients an increased tolerance of physical exercises was noted. No side-effects of Piridoxylate therapy were observed.
