[The efficacy of foridon in treating stenocardia patients].

Abstract

A study is presented of the effect of a new native calcium antagonist foridon on the course of the disease central and peripheral hemodynamics, fatty metabolism, lipid peroxidation intensity, activity of ceruloplasmin and catalase, iron and chromium saturation of transferrin, content of cyclic nucleotides in thrombocytes, the state of cellular immunity and the number of circulating immune complex in 30 patients with advancing and stable exertion stenocardia (control--30 analogous patients treated by phynoptin and corinfar). It was established that foridon produced a positive effect on the intensity of the pain syndrome, hemodynamics, degree of lipid peroxidation, content of cyclic nucleotides and immune status of stenocardia patients.
