| Abstract | ||
| We aimed at studying the exogenous melatonin corrective effect on Ischemic heart disease (IHD) clinical features in elderly patients with sleep disorders. A total of 60 patients aged from 60 to 74 with IHD, angina pectoris functional class (FC) II and complaints of sleep disorder were examined. Patients of the 1st group (n = 30), received basic therapy: acetylsalicylic acid, atorvastatin and metoprolol succinate. A chemical melatonin analogue once a day was added to the basic treatment regimen of patients of the 2nd group (n = 30). Timely correction of melatonin pathogenetic deficiency in elderly IHD patients with insomnia by including its pharmacological analogues in the treatment regimen manifests significant improvement in the patients` clinical condition. This is evidenced by the following: a decrease in anginal attacks frequency, dynamics in Holter electrocardiographic study (ECG) monitoring indicators and somnological characteristics. | ||
