Popis: Aim: To study the effect of ivabradine (coraxan, Servier) as part of combination therapy on the clinical manifestations of acute left ventricular failure (ALVF) in Braunwald class II-IIIB unstable angina in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Subjects and methods. Thirty-six T2DM patients (mean age 56 ± 4.3 years) with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome were examined. Eighteen healthy individuals were examined as an age- and gender-matched control group. Metabolic, hemodynamic, and electrophysiological parameters were studied in all the patients on hospital stay days 1 and 5. Results. Ivabradine used in combination therapy for unstable angina caused reductions in the clinical manifestations of ALVF, heart rate, the number of myocardial ischemic episodes. In the ivabradine-treated patients, left ventricular ejection fraction showed a significant trend for increase. No adverse reactions were recorded. Conclusion. Ivabradine therapy demonstrated antiischemic and antianginal efficiencies and a good tolerability, without leading to the development of tolerance and without being followed by the development of the withdrawal syndrome.
