Резюме

According to modern guidelines, treating patients with stable coronary artery disease and chronic coronary syndrome aims to reduce symptoms and prevent complications and maintain performance, which requires good exercise tolerance. Satisfactory exercise tolerance is determined by several factors, among which the leading role is played by such indicators as pre- and post-exercise myocardial workload, viable myocardial volume, and left ventricular ejection fraction. Exercise tolerance can be improved with drug therapy, in particular, with nicorandil, an effective antianginal agent that has been shown to improve prognosis in patients with coronary heart disease. Modern randomized trials and meta-analyses have shown that nicorandil reduces myocardial pre- and post-load, limits infarct size and increases left ventricular ejection fraction in the short and long term, and improves global left ventricular strain, which is associated with increased exercise tolerance.
