Personalized trimetazidine prescription as a cytoprotective agent in patients with coronary artery disease by O. V. Romashchenko

“…The criteria for predicting the trimetazidine cytoprotective effect were determined using Wald statistics.Results. When trimetazidine was injected into a WBC suspension sample, two types of cell viability changes were observed: in 60% of patients, CVI increased, on average, by 37% (from 23% to 60%, p&lt;0,001) and in 40% of patients, CVI decreased, on average, by 30% (from 54% to 24%, p&lt;0,05).A number of conditions of the patient initial status were identified for the manifestation of trimetazidine cytoprotective activity: grade 1 hypertension; right ventricular end diastolic dimension up to 30 mm according to echocardiography; normal lipid profile with a total cholesterol &lt;5,3 mmol/L, very-low-density lipoproteins &lt;1 mmol/L and an atherogenic coefficient up to 3 CU, myocyte and cardiomyocyte destruction (total CPK &gt;100 U/L and CPK-MB &gt;15 U/L), normal liver function (alanine aminotransferase &lt;25 U/L), renal dysfunction (total protein &lt;75 g/L, urea &gt;8 mmol/L and blood creatinine &gt;100 pmol/L), normal thrombopoiesis (immature platelet fraction &lt;5%) and the state of functional adaptive system resistance (blood lymphocytes &lt;30% and neutrophils &gt;4x109/L).Conclusion. …”
