NEW PERSPECTIVES OF DIPYRIDAMOL USAGE IN TREATMENT OF CORONARY HEART DISEASE

Abstract

There is a great number of coronary patients to whom traditional methods of myocardium revascularization are not indicated. Addition of dipyridamol to traditional antianginal treatment promotes improvement of clinical features of the disease and decreased functional class of angina in coronary patients. The usage of dipyridamol for 3 months was accompanied by increased physical stress tolerance threshold, increased time of physical stress, decreased asynergy areas on echo ate peak stress, suggesting possible angiogenesis in myocardium hypoperfusion areas in the region of stenotic coronary artery.
