Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Efficacy and safety of bisoprololal in hypertensive patients with cardiovascular disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
Efficacy and safety of bisoprolol in hypertensive patients with cardiovascular disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A comparative study on the efficacy and safety of bisoprolol and sustained release metoprolol succinate in patients with arterial hypertension (AH), cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was conducted. ⋯ After 12 weeks of therapy of bisoprolol there was a trend to reduce the number of patients with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy by 16.6 % (from 83.3% at baseline vs 66.7% after 12 weeks of treatment, p < 0.1). Despite the fact that the identified changes in respiratory function (ERF) in both groups did not reach certainty bisoprolol versus metoprolol succinate sustained-release was a lesser extent influenced the performance of ERF and more - to reduce dyspnea to the evaluation scales Borg and mMRC (delta% = -7.1 in fixed vs delta% = -3.8 in control groups and delta% = -5.6 vs delta% = 0 respectively) in patients with AH, CVD and COPD.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Efficiency of meldonium in the complex therapy of acute coronary syndrome].
We examined 140 patients (mean age 54.8±3.1 years) with ST elevation acute coronary syndrome resulting in Q-wave myocardial infarction of the left ventricle. From the first hours complex therapy of these patients comprised meldonium (1 g/day intravenously for 2 weeks then orally until 1.5 months). ⋯ It was established that administration of meldonium led to reduction of number of high grade ventricular extrasystoles during first 6 hours after thrombolysis, to lowering of blood concentration of lipoperoxide degradation products. Early use of meldonium decreases probability of emergence of fatal arrhythmias and improves prognosis of hospital stage of rehabilitation of patients with acute coronary syndrome resulting in Q-wave myocardial infarction.
