[Pumpan in the treatment of ischemic heart disease associated with arterial hypertension].

AIM

To study effectiveness of natural combined medicine pumpan in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) including cases with concomitant arterial hypertension (AH).

MATERIAL AND METHODS

35 patients with different forms of IHD (myocardial infarction, stable and unstable angina pectoris of functional class III-IV) received conventional treatment combined with pumpan given for 7-11 weeks. Changes in clinical condition, biochemical blood indices, ECG, echo-CG, 24-h arterial pressure monitoring data were investigated.

RESULTS

The addition of pumpan to the standard therapy reduced frequency of anginal attacks, improved intracardiac hemodynamics, psychic and adaptive indices.

CONCLUSION

Pumpan is a good adjuvant to conventional treatment of various IHD forms including combination of IHD with AH. Pumpan enables reduction in the required doses of beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, nitrates, sedatives. It also provides hypocoagulatory and hypocholesterolemic effect.
