[Effectiveness of vilarinum, a natural adaptogen, in rehabilitation of patients after coronary bypass surgery].

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of vilarinum, a natural adaptogen, in the complex rehabilitation of patients with CHD after coronary bypass surgery (CBS). The subjects were 130 patients, whose sanatory treatment began 28.3 +/- 3.

[Cardiac glycosides in complex treatment of patients with heart failure and supraventricular arrhythmias].

The authors of the article studied potential of various drug combinations (atenolol + enalapril + indapamide, and celanid + enalapril + indapamide) in complex treatment of patients with heart failure (HF) and supraventricular arrhythmias. The subjects were 106 patients, of whom 74 had coronary heart disease, of whom 51 had old myocardial infarction, and 18 had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting. Dilatation cardiomyopathy was found in 8, aortomitral valvular disease--in 18, and combined mitral valvular disease--in 6 patients.

[Assessment of anti-arrhythmic efficacy of a domestic drug allapinin in patients with ischemic heart disease and cardiac arrhythmia].

Antiarrhythmic activity of oral allapinin was studied in 64 patients with ischemic heart disease. 27 of the patients had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting 2 to 12 months before, 19 patients had postinfarction cardiosclerosis, 38--arterial hypertension, 30--circulation insufficiency stage I. Arrhythmia presented as ventricular extrasystole (n = 28), paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (n = 18), paroxysmal atrial tachycardia (n = 11), frequent supraventricular extrasystole (n = 7).

[Improvement of the rehabilitation system of patients after aortocoronary bypass].

Using the significant representative sample the important conclusion was drawn about the necessity of patient early differentiation on the base of psychosomatic status evaluation. The algorithms of treatment measures were developed on the base of which two rehabilitation patterns were created. It is shown that the use of the patterns developed permits to decrease the treatment expenses (the important factor in modern conditions).

[The effect of personality traits on rehabilitation of patients with ischemic heart disease after aortocoronary bypass].

The course of ischemic heart disease (IHD) was studied in patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass operation with consideration of types of emotional and behavioral activity. A total of 83 IHD patients were examined using Jenkin's questionnaire. Clinical and psychophysiological characteristics of patients with different behavioral types are described.

[Clinical and cost-effective aspects of nitrate therapy in patients with ischemic heart disease after aortocoronary bypass surgery].

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of Mono Mac 40, nitrosorbide, and sustac forte in the treatment of coronary patients with incomplete revascularization of the myocardium after aortocoronary bypass surgery (functional class III). The patients (n = 112) were divided into 3 groups: 1) 36 patients treated with sustac-forte in a daily dose of 38.4 mg, 2) 37 patients treated with nitrosorbide in a dose of 80 mg, and 3) 39 patients treated with Mono Mac 40 (isosorbide-5-mononitrate) in a dose of 40 mg.

[Use of a program of medical and psychological support in patients with ischemic heart disease, having undergone aortocoronary shunting].

167 patients with aortocoronary bypass were treated in the sanatorium ("Arkhangelskoye") and then for a year were treated outpatiently. Of them, 127 patients have additionally undergone training according to the program of medical and psychological rehabilitation. 40 control patients have not been trained.

[The medical rehabilitation of servicemen following aortocoronary bypass].

The results of aortocoronary shunting (ACSh) were studied in 243 patients after myocardial infarction at different stages of rehabilitation--in rehabilitative hospital and military sanatorium. Result assessment at the final stage of therapy in sanatorium confirmed ACSh efficiency in overwhelming majority of patients. At the same time principal peculiarities were revealed showing the necessity of differential approach to determination of volume and place for conduction of restorative therapy.

[Aortocoronary bypass: methods of group psychotherapy and instruction and the rehabilitation potentials].

In a large number of patients aortocoronary shunting often leads to persistent neurotic disorders' development. Taking into account the biological, psychological and social factors contributing to the disease pathogenesis, the authors tend to introduce some methods of active involvement of patients into a rehabilitation-prophylactic process to restore their mental health balance, behavioral standards, communicative habits etc.
