THE ROLE OF ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF CORONARY HEART DISEASE AND MONITORING OF TRIMETAZIDIN THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH CORONARY HEART DISEASE
Keywords:
Coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, echocardiography, trimetazidinAbstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common diseases with high mortality worldwide. Therefore, in order to improve the quality and increase the life expectancy of mankind, it is important to improve the methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of coronary heart disease. The purpose of our study is to conduct a diagnostic analysis of the heart of patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction using EchoCG and to identify the structural and functional features of coronary heart disease. In addition, using these features to analyze the therapeutic efficacy of trimetazidin after treatment of these patients. We found that after treatment of patients with coronary artery disease with trimetazidin, the results of EchoCG showed mainly positive changes in markers associated with functional features of the heart, and to a lesser extent we found structural changes.
