title: [Effectiveness of drug therapy alone or its combination with plasmapheresis in patients with severe angina pectoris].
abstract: 92 patients with ischemic heart disease and severe angina pectoris received either nitro drugs and calcium antagonists (n = 24) or their combination with plasmapheresis (n = 68). The efficacy of the treatment was assessed by the number of anginal episodes, doses of nitro drugs, pre- and posttreatment dynamic ECG readings. It is shown that 75% of the patients benefited from the addition of plasmapheresis to the treatment scheme. According to dynamic ECG, positive effect of plasmapheresis occurred also in painless ischemia.
