[The evaluation of the efficacy of hemosorption and plasmapheresis in IHD complicated by chronic heart failure].

Hemosorption and plasmapheresis were studied for effects on lipid peroxidation, antioxidant blood activity, platelet hemostasis, microcirculation, myocardial contractility and intracardiac hemodynamics. The results demonstrated that antioxidant blood response is a key criterion responsible for decreased efficacy of hemosorption and plasmapheresis in patients with progressive angina pectoris with chronic heart failure. The results of hemosorption and plasmapheresis in the above patients may become better if an adjuvant antioxidant therapy is used.
