| Summary: | <p>Aim. To study the possibility of enhancing the antianginal effect of long-acting nitrates by their combination with trimetazidine in patients with stable angina. Material and methods. Patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD, stable angina; n=55) were included into the study. Patients were randomized to receive trimetazidine 35 mg 2 times a day (intervention group) or placebo (control group) in addition to standard therapy. A daily number of angina attacks, amount of short-acting nitroglycerin tablets consumed per week, exercise tolerance by the bicycle ergometry with the calculation of the threshold power and the work capacity were assessed at baseline and after 2 months of the drugs taking, as well as 2 months after the drugs withdrawal. Results. Significant reduction in nitroglycerin tablets consumption (1 month — by 61.8%, after 2 months — 72.5%, p<0.05) were found in the intervention group compared with the control group. Low intake of nitroglycerin compared with baseline (p<0.05) was maintained for 2 months after discontinuation of study drug. Significant increase in the threshold power (1 month — by 32.3%, after 2 months — 37.5%, p<0.05) was observed in the intervention group compared to baseline and with the control group. Conclusion. Trimetazidine in the treatment of stable angina has high clinical efficacy.</p> |
