[Pharmaco-invasive Approach Aimed at Preserved Left Ventricular Function in Patients With Stable Coronary Heart...

Performed an open, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial, including 63 patients stable coronary artery disease on the background of carbohydrate metabolism disorders. All patients underwent elective coronary stenting. Patients of the main group (n=32) within 2 weeks before the intervention received trimetazidine 35 mg x 2 times a day in addition to standard therapy. Patients in the control group (n=31) PCI and follow-up was performed with standard therapy and without the use of metabolic drugs. Revealed that long reception of myocardial cytoprotector trimetazidine leads to a significant improvement of the contractile function of the left ventricular myocardium at a distant period according to echocardiography (reducing end diastolic index by 5.5%, decrease in end-systolic index by 4.4%, increase in LVEF of 2.5% in 12 months after endovascular revascularization compared with baseline).
