Insights

Corinfar and phinoptin, calcium antagonists, effectively treat ischemic heart disease with chronic circulatory insufficiency. These drugs improve cardiac function and reduce vascular resistance in patients.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Ischemic heart disease (IHD) with chronic circulatory insufficiency (CCI) poses significant therapeutic challenges.
  • Calcium antagonists are a class of drugs with potential applications in cardiovascular conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of calcium antagonists, specifically corinfar and phinoptin, in patients suffering from IHD with CCI.
  • To analyze the hemodynamic effects of corinfar and phinoptin in this patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 48 patients diagnosed with ischemic heart disease and chronic circulatory insufficiency.
  • Hemodynamic parameters were monitored to assess the impact of corinfar and phinoptin.

Main Results:

  • Corinfar and phinoptin demonstrated a significant increase in cardiac contraction indices.
  • A notable reduction in general peripheral resistance was observed.
  • Simultaneous reduction in left ventricle volumes during both diastole and systole was recorded.

Conclusions:

  • Corinfar and phinoptin are indicated for the treatment of patients with chronic circulatory insufficiency secondary to ischemic heart disease.
  • The observed hemodynamic improvements support the use of these calcium antagonists in managing CCI.
