Correction of episodes of transitory myocardial ischemia in patients with ischemic heart disease combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus by trimetazidine

Data of treatment of 45 patients with stable angina combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus are presented. Supplementation of standard antiischemic therapy with cytoprotective preparation trimetazidine MB (Preductal MB) revealed greater efficacy of treatment manifesting not only by decrease of functional class in observed patients but also by increase of volume of performed physical load, decrease of episodes of ischemia during 24 hours (according to Holter monitoring data), as well as decrease of mean duration of ischemia (painful and painless). A conclusion is made about feasibility of prescribing cytoprotective preparation trimetazidine MB while providing complex therapy to patients with stable form of ischemic heart disease.
