Favorable effects of pindolol in dilated cardiomyopathy

PA Majid, J Niznick, S Nishizaki, WM Morris and MJ Sole

We describe the clinical course of a patient with tachycardia at rest, biopsy proven dilated cardiomyopathy, and moderately severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Short-term use of pindolol produced a significant fall in heart rate and cardiac output at rest and during exercise. However, after addition of pindolol to the patient's previous regimen of digoxin and furosemide, he made a rapid clinical recovery and has maintained clinical improvement during the last four years of follow-up. The pattern of clinical response suggests that pindolol may have contributed substantially to this patient's recovery.
