Abstrakt: Aim: Assessment of microcirculation in IHD patients at preclinical stage or in those with initial symptoms of cardiac failure, clarification of relationship between parameters of microcirculation and cardiodynamics.
Material and Methods: A blind cross-over trial was made to compare skin microcirculation and cardiodynamic parameters in response to a short carvedilol course and beta-blocker anaprilin in 40 patients with ischemic heart disease with angina of effort (NYHA class I-IV, ejection fraction under 45%).
Results: IHD with initial symptoms of cardiac failure had a congestion-spastic type of microcirculation defect. Microcirculatory picture and cardiodynamics were related.
Conclusion: Compared to anaprilin therapy, treatment with carvedilol enhanced capillary blood flow and improved cardiodynamics.
