METHOD FOR ASSESSMENT OF OLMESARTAN EFFICACY IN TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE WITH ANGINA PECTORIS AND ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION WITH IMPAIRMENT OF DIASTOLIC FUNCTION OF LEFT VENTRICLE ACCORDING TO HYPERTROPHIC TYPE

摘要

The method for the assessment of Olmesartan efficacy in the treatment of the patients with the ischemic heart disease with angina pectoris and the arterial hypertension with the impairment of diastolic function of the left ventricle according to hypertrophic type comprises the comparison of the state of the patients prior to and after the treatment. Prior to the treatment, Doppler echocardiography at rest is performed and transmitral blood flow is assessed by measuring the rate of early diastolic filling. The same examination is provided after treatment with Olmesartan. When the rate of early diastolic filling increases by at least 9.2 % as compared with that prior to the treatment, the hemodynamic result and antianginal effect are considered as positive.
