METHOD FOR ASSESSMENT OF METOPROLOL 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 invention relates to medicine, in particular to the cardiology and can be used for the objective assessment of the antianginal effect of Metoprolol in the patients with the ischemic heart disease with angina pectoris and arterial hypertension with the impairment of diastolic function of the left ventricle according to "hypertrophic" type. The method provides for the comparison of Doppler echocardiography at rest prior to and after the treatment with the assessment of the transmitral blood flow by measuring the rate of early diastolic filling. The change in the rate of early diastolic filling is indicative of the assessment of treatment efficacy.
