[The correction of the trace element composition of the blood plasma in patients with ischemic heart disease by using Eunicap M].

Changes were studied in the blood plasma content of trace elements (iron, zinc, manganese, copper and zinc) before and after a 20-day course of treatment in patients with IHD, stable angina, who were given, apart from antianginal therapy, eunicap M having in its composition trace elements (iron, manganese, cuprum, and other trace elements). It has been ascertained that IHD is accompanied by changes in the blood plasma content of trace elements. Combination of eunicap M with antianginal therapy promotes the tendency toward normalization of iron and cuprum metabolism; there was no significant change in the content of zinc and manganese, which fact may be related to a deficient content of manganese in the given drug preparation or a greater demand for them in patients with atherosclerosis.
