title: [Use of the antioxidant ubinon in the complex treatment of patients with ischemic heart disease].
abstract: A new Soviet antioxidant drug, ubinon, has been used in 75 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) of functional classes I-III, including 12 patients with ventricular extrasystoles. Treatment with placebo in 10 patients produced no improvement and had no effect on their stress tolerance. Ubinon, taken as 90 and 135 mg/day doses, was shown to produce clinical improvement and raise stress tolerance, mostly in first- and second-class cases. In coronary patients with ventricular extrasystoles, ubinon enhanced antiarrhythmic effect of mexitil. The use of ubinon was accompanied by a drop in blood oxidant activity and a rise in antioxidant activity, an increase in blood 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, a fall in TxB2 and a suppression of platelet activity. In addition, coronary patients with ventricular extrasystoles showed reduced cAMP and cGMP content and elevated cAMP/cGMP ratio.
