Impact of drug therapy on the risk of death in patients with coronary heart disease (according to the data of registry of cardiovascular diseases, RECVASA)

Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of the drug therapy assigned at the index visit on the risk of fatal outcome in outpatients with coronary heart disease within 24 months from the index visit, based on the data of registry of cardiovascular diseases (RECVASA). Follow-up feedback was 97.4%, the survival rate - 90.6%. The study found that the prescribing of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or ACE inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers II (ARB) was associated with reduction of all-cause mortality by 1.6 times (p=0.016) and 2.0 times (p=0.006), respectively, statins - by 1.6 times (p=0.038). The risk of death from cardiovascular causes in the case of prescribing of ACE inhibitors or ACE inhibitors/ARBs decreased by 2.1 times (p=0.0008) and 2.3 times (p=0.0008), respectively, statins - by 1,7 times (p=0.048).
