Vastarel MR: from decades of clinical experience in stable angina to new perspectives
نویسنده
چکیده
Trimetazidine has been known for years as being an effective, ‘‘patient-friendly’’, anti-anginal agent. Recent studies using the modified release formulation (Vastarel MR) have confirmed the efficacy of trimetazidine in stable ischemic heart disease and suggested that it can be beneficial in a number of

Focus on Vastarel MR Beneficial long-term effects of Vastarel MR in patients with stable coronary artery disease developing left ventricular dysfunction
During the past two decades, the management of chronic coronary artery diseases has improved considerably, as a result of both pharmacotherapy and revascularization procedures. However, the course of chronic coronary artery disease, with an increase in the number of patients surviving after acute coronary syndrome, has led to an increase in the number of patients with ischemic left ventricular ...

The heart is capable of using fatty acids and glucose as its main sources of energy, with their balance depending on many physiological and pathological situations. In the presence of ischemia, there is a switch to oxidation of fatty acids, which has deleterious effects on the function of the heart. Trimetazidine reduces fatty acid oxidation and increases glucose oxidation, which tends to norma...

Background and Purpose: Regarding usefulness of revascularization versus optimal medical therapy in patients with stable angina pectoris, data are challenging. The aim of this 12-month follow-up study was to compare the survival benefit associated with revascularization versus optimal medical therapy on the patients with stable angina pectoris. Materials and Methods: A prospective clinical s...

Background: Toll like receptors (TLRs) are well recognized players in inflammatory conditions. Among them TLR-4 is involved in chronic inflammatory processes such as formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Objective: The present study was aimed to examine the effects of percutanoeus coronary intervention (PCI) as a revascularization method on monocyte expression of hTLR-4 and on the serum levels ...

Metabolic therapy represents an innovative approach to the treatment of coronary artery disease and heart failure. The metabolic modulator, trimetazidine (Vastarel MR), offers particular positive effects in reducing the cell loss and reorganization that characterize the process of left ventricle remodeling, and is useful in improving ischemic or failed cell metabolism. Correction of the metabol...
