PATIENTS WITH COMBINATION OF CHRONIC HEART FAILURE, HYPERTENSION AND HISTORY OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION: CLINICAL AND ANAMNESTIC CHARACTERISTICS, ADMINISTRATION OF ACE INHIBITORS, ANGIOTENSIN RECEPTOR BLOCKERS, -BLOCKERS AND ADHERENCE TO THE DRUG THERAPY (DATA OF OUTPATIENT REGISTRY RECVASA)

Aim. To assess the clinical and anamnestic characteristics, the prescription rate of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI)/angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) and β-blockers in the outpatient practice, adherence to drug therapy in patients with a combination of chronic heart failure (CHF), hypertension (HT) and history of myocardial infarction (MI) in the frame of Cardiovascular Disease Registry (RECVASA). Material and methods. Data analysis in groups of patients with a combination of CHF, HT and the history of MI (n=406) and patients with a combination of CHF, HT and ischemic heart disease (IHD) without history of MI (n=1897) was performed in the frame of RECVASA registry. The structure of the associated cardiovascular and concomitant non-cardiac diseases, the severity of the clinical manifestations of CHF, IHD and HT, the prescription rate of the ACEI/ARB and β-blockers, the adherence to drug therapy (according to the Morisky-Green test) were studied in groups. Results. Patients with a combination of CHF, HT and IHD with or without MI history significantly differed in the proportion of men (47.8% vs 24.9%, respectively), prevalence of atrial fibrillation (25.9% vs 20.5%, respectively), diabetes mellitus (27.3% vs 15.7%, respectively) and the stroke history (17.2% vs 10.7%, respectively). The mean age (69.9±11.0 vs 70.3±11.0 years, respectively), as well as the prevalence of the history of respiratory diseases, chronic kidney disease, digestive diseases, obesity and anemia, did not differ significantly. Patients with a combination of CHF, HT and post-infarction cardiosclerosis (PICS) compared with patients without PICS significantly more often had CHF class 3-4 NYHA (62% vs 47.9%, respectively), HT of degree 3 (92.5% vs 84.2%, respectively), stable angina class 3-4 (84.4% vs 66.4%, respectively). Patients with PICS significantly (p<0.05) more often received β-blockers (56.7% vs 42.2%, respectively), a combination of ACEI/ARB plus β-blockers (44.6% vs 35.1%, respectively), but less often – monotherapy with ACEI/ARB (73.7% vs 77.6%, respectively). The proportion of patients with adherence to treatment (4 points on the Morisky-Green scale) was greater in patients with PICS (37.2% vs 30.6%, respectively; p<0.05). Conclusion. Patients with CHF in combination with HT and PICS compared with patients without PICS had more prevalence of atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus and stroke history, more severe course of CHF, HT and IHD, greater prescription rate of β-blockers, combinations of ACEI/ARB plus β-blockers, but less prescription rate only ACEI/ARB, higher adherence to treatment. The prescription rate of prognostically significant ACEI/ARB and β-blockers in these patients is inadequate, and only one third of patients are adherent to treatment.
