Efficacy of bolus injections of landiolol hydrochloride as premedication in coronary artery CT angiography
The ideal heart rate for cardiac CT is ≤ 60-65 bpm, which improves image quality and reduces radiation dose. In cardiac CT, landiolol hydrochloride intravenously reduces heart rate by -14 bpm. Heart rate of ≤ 65 bpm can be achieved in a significant proportion of patients.
