ANALYSIS OF MEDICAL PURPOSES ANDPRICE AVAILABILITY OF THE ASSORTMENT OF BETA-ADRENOBLOCKERS USED FOR THE TREATMENT OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

Abstract

Patients who have had myocardial infarction (MI) represent a group of patients with a very high risk of cardiovascular complications: first of all, recurrent myocardial infarction, chronic heart failure and cardiovascular death. Clinical studies have shown an increase in life expectancy after MI when prescribing selective β-blockers for long-term prophylaxis, especially in the presence of chronic heart failure complicating the course of MI. The main clinical goals of prescribing β-blockers are to improve the supply of oxygen to the myocardium and to prevent the development of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. In view of the above, drugs in this group should be used indefinitely in patients with MI [7]. In recent years, the analysis of the affordability of the use of treatment technologies, including for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), has stood out as a serious scientific area with its methodology, scientific tools and is currently an important source of information that helps in making management decisions in healthcare [3.6]. The purpose of this article was to conduct such an analysis in relation to the use of β-blockers in MI in Kuzbass.
