Results:After oral Tedral SA,resting heart rate of 14 patients was maitained between 50 to 70 beats/min.The minimum heart rates before and during therapy has significant difference statistically(34.93±2.79 vs.44.21±2.91,p＜0.001).The heart rate during oral Tedral SA was significantly increased.A few patients complained of palpitation,which disappeared as the dosage of Tedral SA was decreased.Subjective symptoms associated with sinus bradycardia such as dizziness,faintness disappeared completely in 14 patients. Conclusion:Tedral SA was a effective and safe drug for treatment of elderly patients with severe sinus bradycardia.
