摘要

FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: in the patients diagnosed with breast cancer and recommended to have a chemotherapeutic course, the heart rate is measured one week before the treatment according to electrocardiography after a 5-minute rest. If the measured heart rate is 70 beats per minute or more, ivabradine is prescribed in a daily dose of 10 mg. Electrocardiography is repeated after a 5-minute rest 4 weeks later. If the measured heart rate is 70 beats per minute or more, the dose is titration is made to 15 mg a day. If the measured follow-up heart rate is less than 70 beats per minute, the daily dose is kept at 10 mg. If the initial heart rate is less than 70 beats per minute, trimetasidine is prescribed in a daily dose of 70 mg for the whole period of treatment independent from the further heart rate measurement. All the patients take the preparation throughout the duration of 6 months.EFFECT: method enables reducing the cardiotoxic action of the anthracycline chemopreparations in the patients with breast cancer.3 ex, 4 dwg
