Objective. Compare the eff ect of combination therapy with nebivolol or carvedilol on the functional state of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and preserved ejection fraction (pEF) of the left ventricle (LV). Material and methods. The study involved 80 patients with diastolic CHF, who were randomized into two groups. In group I was appointed of nebivolol (7.7 ± 2.4 mg/day, n = 40), in group II — carvedilol (30.5 ± 8.7 mg/day, n = 40). As part of the combination therapy, quinapril was prescribed (13.7 ± 2.7 mg/day, n = 40 and 13.5 ± 2.6 mg/day, n = 40), and if indicated — atorvastatin (15.3 ± 4.6 mg/day, n = 17 and 16.2 ± 5.2 mg/day, n = 17) and acetylsalicylic acid in the intestinal soluble shell (96.4 ± 13.4 mg/day, n = 14 and 93.8 ± 13.3 mg/day, n = 13), respectively. Initially and after 6 months of therapy were carried out: quantitative assessment of regulatory-adaptive status (RAS) (by means of a sample of cardiac-respiratory synchronism), echocardioscopy, treadmill test, test with a six-minute walk, subjective assessment of quality of life, determination of the level of the N-terminal fragment of the brain natriuretic peptide in blood plasma, daily monitoring of blood pressure. Results. Both schemes of combined therapy comparably improved the structural and functional state of the heart, controlled arterial hypertension. In comparison with carvedilol, nebivolol diff ered positive eff ect on the RAS, more increased tolerance to physical activity and improved quality of life. Conclusion. In patients with CHF pEF LV in combination therapy, the use of nebivolol, in comparison with carvedilol, may be preferable due to the more pronounced positive eff ect on the functional state.

Aim. Сompare the effectiveness of combination therapy with lisinopril and fosinopril in patients with diastolic chronic heart failure (CHF) in the presence of hypertension disease (HD), considering its impact on the regulatory adaptive status (RAS). Materials and methods. The study take parted 69 patients with CHF II functional class according to the classification of the New York Heart Association in the presence of HD III stage with preserved systolic function of the left ventricle (left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%), who were randomized into two groups for treatment with lisinopril (13.7±3.7 mg/day, n=34) or fosinopril (14.5±4.1 mg/day, n=35). As part of combination pharmacotherapy, patients were included nebivolol (7.2±2.4 mg/day and 7.0±2.2 mg/day), and acetylsalicylic acid when required (100 mg/day, n=8 and 100 mg/day, n=7), atorvastatin (15.7±4.9 mg/day, n=14 and 16.9±4.6 mg/day, n=16) respectively. Initially and after six months, the following was done: a quantitative evaluation of the RAS (by cardio-respiratory synchronism test), echocardiography, holter monitoring of blood electrocardiograms, all-day monitoring of pressure, treadmill test, determination of the N-terminal precursor of the natriuretic brain peptide level in blood plasma, six-minute walking test, subjective evaluation of quality of life. Results. Both combined pharmacotherapy schemes comparably improved structural and functional state of the heart, neurohumoral activation and optimized blood pressure. However, in this case, the use of fosinopril, in comparison with lisinopril, positively affected on RAS, increased exercise tolerance and improved quality of life more. Conclusion. In patients with diastolic CHF in the presence of HD III stage as part of the combination therapy, the use of fosinopril, in comparison with lisinopril, may be preferable because of a more pronounced positive effect on RAS.

Aim      Improvement of quality of life is one of the most important goals for the treatment of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). This study searched for ways to increase the efficiency of CHF treatment based on parameters of quality of life in CHF patients during and after the treatment with exogenous phosphocreatine (EP).Material and methods  The effect of a single course of EP treatment on quality of life of patients with functional class (FC) II-IV CHF with reduced or mid-range left ventricular ejection fraction was studied as a part of the all-Russia prospective observational study BYHEART. The presence of FC II-IV CHF and a left ventricular ejection fraction <50 % were confirmed by results of 6-min walk test (6MWT) and findings of echocardiography after stabilization of the background therapy.Results An interim data analysis showed that the course of EP treatment was associated with a significant improvement of quality-of-life indexes as determined by the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (LHFQ) total score. These indexes significantly increased and remained at a satisfactory level for 6 mos. following completion of the treatment course. Also, the treatment significantly beneficially influenced the clinical condition of patients (heart failure severity scale), results of 6MWT, and the increase in left ventricular ejection fraction.Conclusion      The conclusions based on results of the interim analysis should be confirmed by results of the completed study. Complete results are planned to be published in 2022.

The aim: to study the effect of add-on pentoxifylline therapy on the structural and functional indicators of the heart state, endothelial function, quality of life and physical abilities in patients with chronic heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. Materials and methods. The indicators of the structural and functional state of the heart, endothelial function, quality of life and physical abilities of patients older than 60 years, who were followed-up in the Department of Cardiology of the State Institution “D. F. Chebotarev Institute of Gerontology of the NAMS of Ukraine”, based on 67 case histories, 37 of them were prescribed pentoxifylline as add-on therapy to the standard therapeutic regimen. Statistical data were calculated using modern application packages, in particular SPSS v.22, Statistica 7.0, MedCalc statical software v.11.5.0.0. The significance level was assessed using paired and unpaired Student's t-test with Bonferroni corrections, and the correlation and two-way analysis of variance were performed. Results. A significant additional effect of pentoxifylline treatment on the indicators of maximum blood flow in the forearm microvessels in response to the reactive hyperemia test, which characterizes the ability of the microvessel endothelium to synthesize relaxation factors, was detected. Patients who additionally received pentoxifylline showed significantly better indicators of left ventricular myocardial relaxation and reduction of hypertrophy than those on the standard therapy. There was a significant increase in walking distance in the third year of treatment in the patients who additionally received pentoxifylline. There was no difference in the impact on the quality of life of the patients. Conclusions. The addition of pentoxifylline to the standard therapy in patients with chronic heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction significantly reduces myocardial hypertrophy, improves diastolic relaxation, increases volumetric blood flow velocity in microvessels mediating reactive hyperemia, which may contribute to further stabilizing the clinical course of the disease and increasing 6-minute walking distance. The presented data are an additional evidence of pathogenetically reasonable therapy with pentoxifylline in patients with chronic heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, which allows us to consider this drug as potentially promising for the routine treatment of such patients.

Aim. To study the effects of transluminal balloon angioplasty (TLBAP) and stenting on right and left ventricular (RV, LV) hemodynamics, as well as on long-term clinical prognosis, in patients with ischemic chronic heart failure (CHF). Material and methods. In 20 patients with ischemic CHF, Functional Class (FC) II–III (NYHA), radionuclide 4D tomoventriculography (4D-RTVG) was performed at baseline and 6 and 12 months after TLBAP, in order to assess cardiac hemodynamics. Based on ejection fraction (EF) values, all participants were divided into two groups. Group I (n=10; mean age 57,2 (2,7) years) included men with EF <45%, FC II–III CHF, and mean CHF duration of 3,1 (0,6) years. Group II (n=10; mean age 62,6 (2,7) years) included 5 men and 5 women with EF >45%, FC II CHF, and CHF duration of 2 (0,4) years. Results. Twelve months after TLBAP, Group I demonstrated a significant increase in stroke volume (SV), LV EF, and RV EF, as well as an improvement in LV maximum ejection velocity (MEV), maximum filling velocity (MFV), and maximum filling time (MFT), as well as in LV and RV one-third filling fraction (1/3 FF) (p<0,05). A decrease in LV enddiastolic volume (EDV), LV end-systolic volume (ESV), and RV ESV, some increase in RV EDV, and an improvement in RF MEV, MFV, and MFT were non-significant (p>0,05). In Group II, an increase in LV SV and LV EF, as well as an improvement in RV 1/3FF and MFT, was statistically significant (p<0,05). At the same time, an increase in RF SV, EF, EDV, and ESV, as well as an improvement in LV and RV MEV and MFV, LV 1/3FF and LV MFT, without any substantial changes in LV EDV and ESV, lacked statistical significance (p>0,05). Cardiac hemodynamic changes were associated with improved quality of life (QoL) and reduced CHF FC and angina FC. Conclusion. TLBAP and stenting facilitated an increase in EF and SV, an improvement in LF and RF systolic and diastolic function, an improvement in QoL and exercise capacity, and a reduction in CHF FC and angina FC.

Aim. A study of the clinical and instrumental characteristics and quality of treatment of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) with diabetes mellitus. Materials and methods. The study was conducted by using the CHF register method, which is a computer program with remote access, which allows on-line data collection on patients who have been examined and treated in primary care and in hospitals. The study included 8272 patients with CHF IIIV FC (functional class) (New York Heart Association NYHA); among them 62% of patients were treated in hospital. Results. The study showed that the frequency of diabetes was 21%. The main causes of CHF in diabetic patients are coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction (in anamnesis) and hypertension. These patients are more often diagnosed with III and IV CHF FC according to (NYHA) and retained LV (left ventricular) ejection fraction. The reduced ejection fraction was observed in 6.8% of cases, and the frequency of the intermediate LV was significantly higher than among patients with CHF and with diabetes and accounted for 18.9%. At patients with CHF with diabetes in comparison with patients with CHF without diabetes, atherosclerosis of the peripheral arteries, stroke (in anamnesis) and chronic kidney disease of stage III and IV were significantly more common. Conclusion.Under the treatment, patients with CHF with diabetes have higher levels of SBP (systolic blood pressure), lipids and glucose in the blood plasma, indicating a lack of quality of treatment and, accordingly, the doctors are not optimally performing the clinical guidelines on treating this category of patients.

Background: Advantages of outpatient exercise training are reduced waiting lists, better compliance, reduced time investment by the patient with reduced travel expenses, and less dependence on other people to participate. Therefore, this systematic review studies the effects of outpatient exercise training programmes compared with usual care on exercise capacity, exercise performance, quality of life, and safety in patients with chronic heart failure. Design: Systematic review with meta-analysis. Methods: Randomized controlled trials concerning patients with chronic heart failure, with a left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40%, were included. A meta-analysis was performed. Results: Twenty-two studies were included. VO2max, 6-min walking test, and quality of life showed significant differences in favour of the intervention group of 1.85 ml/kg/min, 47.9 m, and 6.9 points, respectively. In none of the studies, a significant relationship was found between exercise training and adverse events. Conclusion: This meta-analysis illustrates the efficacy and safety of outpatient training programmes for patients with chronic heart failure.

Objective. To determine the effect of bisoprolol or carvedilol therapy on the regulatory-adaptive status (RAS) of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and preserved ejection fraction (pEF) of the left ventricle (LV) the background of hypertensive disease (HD).Material and methods. The study involved 68 patients with CHF and pEF of the LV, who were randomized into two groups for treatment with bisoprolol (7,3±2,4 mg/day, n=34) and carvedilol (28,4±12,3 mg/day, n=34). As part of the combination therapy, quinapril was prescribed (13,5±2,5 mg/ day, n=34 and 12,6±2,9 mg/day, n=34), and if indicated – atorvastatin (16,3±5,0 mg/day, n=11 and 15,5±5,2 mg/day, n=11) and acetylsalicylic acid in the intestinal soluble shell (93,8±17,7 mg/day, n=8 and 94,4±15,8 mg/day, n=8), respectively. Initially and after 6 months of therapy were carried out: quantitative assessment of RAS (by means of a sample of cardiac-respiratory synchronism), treadmill test, six-minute walking test, subjective assessment of quality of life, determination of the level of N-terminal fragment of brain natriuretic peptide, echocardioscopy, daily monitoring of blood pressure.Results. Both regimens of combined drug therapy had comparable cardioprotective, hypotensive and neuromodulating effects, equally increased exercise tolerance. In comparison with bisoprolol, carvedilol differed positive impact on RAS, improved quality of life more.Conclusion. In patients with CHF and pEF LV in combination therapy, the use of carvedilol, in comparison with bisoprolol, may be preferable due to the positive effect on the RAS.
