Study Title:
[Cardiovascular pathology associated with digestive system diseases].
Study Abstract
With age, a person has "accumulation" of diseases. In patients of older age groups occurs simultaneously for at least 3-4 diseases. Assigning patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD), the physician takes into account the presence of concomitant diseases, especially diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, since the defeat of the stomach, liver, intestine may influence not only on the clinical course of heart disease, but also to change the pharmacokinetics of cardiac drugs. All groups of drugs used in treating coronary artery disease, have different effects on the digestive organs. This can be a positive influence. For example, the use of beta-blockers and nitrates for prevention of bleeding from esophageal varices at cirrhosis of the liver, calcium antagonists in achalasia cardia. It is well known, and the negative effect of cardiac drugs: erosive and ulcerative lesions of the stomach with aspirin use, increasing manifestations of GERD in patients receiving calcium antagonists (dihydropyridines group). In this regard, we need for rational pharmacotherapy.
