[Quality of life of patients with old myocardial infarction on prolonged therapy with atenolol].

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the influence of atenolol, a selective, beta1-adrenoblocker, on the quality of life (QL) of patients with old myocardial infarction (MI). The subjects of this 12-month open uncontrolled study were 40 male patients aged 29 to 59 years (mean age 46.8 +/- 1.

[Influence of long-term therapy with enalapril on late postinfarction remodeling and functional state of the left ventricle in patients with diastolic heart failure.].

Enalapril (average dose 7,0+/-0.8 mg) was given for 12 weeks to 15 patients with preserved left ventricular (LV) systolic function who had survived large focal myocardial infarction small i, Ukrainian6 months before that. The use of enalapril was associated with 49% lessening of severity of clinical signs of heart failure (p<0.

[Depression of diurnal dispersion of sinus rhythm in patients after myocardial infarct].

Aim: To study a relationship between reduced heart rate variability and ventricular ectopic activity in patients with coronary artery disease and also efficiency of atenolol in suppression of ventricular arrhythmias and increase of heart rate variability.

Material And Methods: 32 men with stable angina of effort (functional class II-III) after the first myocardial infarction (mean age 52.9 years).
