Inclusion criteria

* Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures * Chinese patients * Heart rate ≥ 65bpm * Has been diagnosed as Stable angina for at least 1 month and with stable angina pectoris symptoms within 2 weeks previous to enrolment(Please find the diagnose criteria of Stable angina on Appendix C) * With Left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50% according to ultrasound cardiogram; * Has been on beta-blockers for at least 4 weeks\*, on the dose equivalent to Betaloc ZOK® 23.75-47.5mg/day.

Exclusion criteria

* Acute myocardial infarction within 6 months * Unstable angina or Prinzmetal's angina * II degree of AV block or greater * Significant clinical, laboratory or electrocardiographic abnormalities that would place the subject at undue risk (in the Investigator's opinion) including: * Significant renal impairment (serum creatinine \> 2.0 mg/dL) * Serum Alanine Aminotransferase or Aspartate Aminotransferase \> 3 x upper limit of reference range * Serum potassium \< 3.0 mEq/L * Serum sodium ≤ 130 mEq/L * Acute or chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis (clinical diagnosis) * Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism (clinical diagnosis) * Systolic blood pressure ≥ 180 mmHg, or \< 100mmHg at enrolment * Patients with unstable, not compensated heart failure (pulmonary oedema, hypoperfusion or hypotension)

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Safety Population is divided according to the actual dosage received by the patient, not the randomization. The patient will be high-dose group if the highest dose ever used is above 95mg; otherwise (if the highest dose ever used is equal to or lower than 95 mg) he/she will be low-dose group.

Pre-assignment details

Safety population- patients who received at least 1 dose of investigational product. During initial 1 week run-in period subjects were treated with 47.5mg Betaloc ZOK®. Patients started to take investigational product before randomization therefore, number of subjects in Safety population (274) is greater than number of randomized and treated (251)
