    Author: Bart BIa, Larina VN, Dergunova EN.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 2001; 73(1):49-52. PubMed ID: 11234142.
    Abstract:
    AIM: To evaluate results of long-term outpatient use of caposide in patients with cardiac failure. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 74 patients (59 males and 15 females aged 40-76 years) with chronic cardiac failure (CCF) received caposide in individual doses. CCF was caused by ischemic heart disease (IHD) and dilated cardiomyopathy in 65 and 9 patients, respectively. The treatment effect was assessed by changes in clinical symptoms, quality of life and physical activity. RESULTS: Clinical symptoms, functional class of IHD, exercise tolerance and quality of life improved. Serious side effects were absent. CONCLUSION: Caposide can be considered as first-line therapy in outpatient treatment of patients with CCF of different severity as monotherapy and adjuvant in combined treatment.
