In 5 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, treatment of 317 adults with supraventricular tachycardia with landiolol decreased heart rate in 40-90% of treated patients within about 10 minutes, compared to 0-11% of patients who received placebo; heart rate decrease was defined as a >20% decrease in heart rate or a heart rate <100 bpm or at least intermittent cessation of the arrhythmia. The infused dose of landiolol in these studies ranged from 9.3 to 74.6 mcg/kg/min (equivalent to 10 to 80 mcg/kg/min landiolol hydrochloride).

The most common adverse reaction (9.9%) is hypotension ( 6.1 ).
