METHOD OF CONTROL OVER EFFICIENCY OF TREATMENT OF PATIENTS SUFFERED FROM ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND POSTINFARCTION CARDIOSCLEROSIS BY INHIBITORS OF ANGIOTONIN-TRANSFORMING ENZYME

摘要

FIELD: medicine, particularly, cardiology. SUBSTANCE: method includes examination of hemodynamics, measurement of average pressure in pulmonary artery. With initial value of this pressure in excess of 20 mm Hg and pressure reduction on the fifth day of therapy by more than 5 mm Hg. The method may be used in clinical practice with administration of inhibitors of angiotonin-transforming enzyme to patients with acute myocardial infarction and postinfarction cardiosclerosis both with symptoms of chronic cardiac insufficiency and with asymptomatic changes of hemodynamic parameters for assessment of efficiency of treatment. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 1 tbl, 1 ex
