Abstract
PURPOSE: to assess drug therapy and achievement of target parameters of treatment in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) during 3-5 years of follow-up aſter coronary bypass surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From the initial sample of the coronary bypass surgery registry (n=680) we selected for this study 111 men (mean age 61 [55; 65] years) hospitalized in 2011 with clinical picture of IHD for coronary artery bypass graſting (CABG). RESULTS: Mean duration of follow-up was 4.2 years. Mortality was 11.7 % (n=13), 11 deaths were cardiovascular, 2 - from unknown causes. End points defined as repeat hospitalizations and IHD progression were registered in 18 of 98 patients (18.4 %). Only in 25 % of patients during 3-5 years of observation aſter CABG there were no clinical signs of angina. Five patients (5.1 %) developed new type 2 diabetes. Drug therapy: 80 patients (81.6 %) received acetylsalicylic acid, 60 (61.2 %) - angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, 80 (81.6 %) - β-adrenoblockers. Eighty-one men (82.6 %) received statins, but only 20 of 98 re-examined patients (20.4 %) took high doses. Target levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterolConclusion. Data of clinical practice illustrate insufficient quality of basic and antianginal therapy in patients with IHD aſter CABG. Indicators of control of angina, heart rate, achievement of target levels of parameters of lipid metabolism remain unsatisfactory.
