Abstract
The objective: to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate (Mexiprim) in patients after acute coronary syndrome or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Matherials and methods. 60 patients who were hospitalized in a period of 6 months to 2 years before the evaluation with diagnosis of unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), or scheduled percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were included in current study. This study was a part of European study EUROASPIRE V – hospital arm, guided by European society of cardiology Euroobservational research programme and was held by European association of cardiovascular prevention and rehabilitation. All patients received basic therapy for CAD according to the recommendations of the ESC and the Ukrainian Society of Cardiology. 30 patients received Mexiprim in a dose of 125 mg 1t. 3 times a day for 2 months. 30 patients made up a control group. To all patients at the beginning of the study and after 6 months echocardiography, ultrasound evaluation of extracranial brachiocephalic arteries, testing on the Hamilton scale of depression and anxiety (HDRS, HARS), the Beck depression scale were performed; all patients completed the questionnaire regarding their basic therapy and compliance.
Results. After the treatment, in the Mexiprim group, compared to the control group, the level of anxiety on the HARS scale was significantly lower (6,0±2,2 inthe Mexiprim group and 7,5±2,5 inthe control group; p<0,05). The percentage of patients with anxiety of different severity in the Mexicrim group decreased from 50% to 30%. When comparing the average score on the Beck depression scale after treatment, significantly lower values were found in the Mexiprim group (8,1±5,8 compared with 12,1±7,0; p=0,04), than in the control group. Similarly, according to Bek’s results, a significant decrease in the number of patients with depression of varying severity (33,3% compared to 62,2%, respectively; p=0,02) was found in the Mexiprim group, but not the control group, after treatment. According to the results of echocardiography, after the treatment, the E/e’ ratio, that reflects keft ventricle filling pressure and the degree of diastolic dysfunction – significantly decreased from 10,3±4,05 to 6,1±3,08 (p=0.001). Moreover, the difference between the groups after treatment in E/e’ ratio was also statistically significant (p<0,0001).
Conclusion. In the Mexiprim group, there were no significant differences in the IMT before and after treatment. In the control group, there was an increase of IMT on both sides, while an increase of IMT in the left common carotid artery was statistically significant. In the group of mexiprim, there was an improvement in the compliance of patients regarding antihypertensive therapy (from 73,3% to 93,3%; p<0,05) and lipid-lowering therapy (from 70% to 90%; p<0,05).##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.details##
