Anti-anginal and anti-ischemic effectiveness of trimetazidine MB in patients with unstable angina

Aim. То analyse trimetazidine therapy potential in unstable angina (UA).Material and methods. In a randomised, placebo-controlled study including 50 UA patients, the effects of adding trimetazidine MB to standard therapy on angina attack dynamics, total ST depression and QT duration were evaluated. Clinical outcomes were registered during 6 months of the follow-up.Results. In trimetazidine patients (main group, MG), angina attack number reduced after 7 days of the treatment, as well as 30 days and 6 months later — 2,70±1,06, 0,50±0,09 and 0,7±0,12 per week, respectively, comparing to the control group (CG) receiving standard therapy only — 7,10±0,95 (p
