Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the effect of trimetazidine on serum-homocysteine and serum-gamma-glutamyl transferase level in the cases of stable angina cordis. METHODS: A total of 80 cases of stable angina cordis patients were included into this study. Conventional drug therapy for coronary heart disease was used for all the patients. In the treatment group, the additional therapy of 6-month trimetazidine was used. Serum-homocysteine and serum-gamma-glutamyl transferase levels were detected before and after treatment. RESULTS:Compared with data collected before treatment, serum-homocysteine and serum-gamma-glutamyl transferase levels in all the patients were significantly decreased after the 6-month therapy. However, more decreases were found in serum-homocysteine and serum-gamma-glutamyl transferase levels in the patients with additional 6-month trimetazidine as compared with the control group.CONCLUSION: Routine treatment plus trimetazidine can effectively reduce the serum-homocysteine and serum-gamma-glutamyl transferase levels and improve patients-outcomes for the patients with stable angina cordis.

Key words: stable angina cordis, trimetazidine, homocysteine, gamma-glutamyl transferase
