His elevated antinuclear antibody (ANA) titers also returned to normal, but at a somewhat slower rate.A 63-year-old man with right calf claudication and three myocardial infarctions within the past 6 years was hospitalized for treatment of frequent premature ventricular contractions with the investigational drug NAPA (Arnar-Stone Laboratories, MoGaw Park, Illinois). Procainamide, 500 mg every 6 h, had been the antiarrhythmic therapy for the previous 2 years. The patient had generalized...References1.
