Tachycardia Treatment folk remedies

Tachycardia - a quickening heart rate, ie palpitations. If the heart muscles are reduced too much in a long period of time, it will change the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide to hemoglobin.

In rare cases, the tachycardia may even be life-threatening. When the heart beats too fast, it pumps blood less efficiently, since muscle infarction enough time to relax between contractions.

Preductal - a drug that improves metabolism Improves metabolism and losing weight without dieting   in the heart muscle (myocardium) and simultaneously decreases the oxygen demand in a coronary artery spasm. Therefore, it is widely used for the treatment of coronary heart disease, as well as for the treatment of cerebral circulatory disorders that are accompanied by changes of the eye and ear.

The mechanism of action preductal

Predkutal (active substance - trimetazidine dihydrochloride) - a drug that improves metabolism in the myocardium and senses in low blood supply. Produced preduktall French pharmaceutical company Servier Laboratory in tablets of 20 mg and tablets preduktal CF 35 mg. Other pharmaceutical companies produce analogues of the drug under the name Angiozyme, Vero trimetazidine, Deprenorm, karditrim, medarum, metagard, prebruktal, predizin, rimekor, tridukard, trimektal, trimethyl, trimetazid, trimetazidine.

Preductal mechanism of action is based on the fact that it prevents a decrease in ATP content (energy) within the cells of the heart muscle (myocardium) by maintaining normal intracellular energy balance in a constant state of lack of oxygen (hypoxia). Keeping a normal energy balance allows you to save the rest of the normal biochemical processes that make up the metabolism of myocardial cells.

The energy balance is maintained by selective suppression of certain biochemical processes (oxidation of fatty acids), resulting in increased oxidation of glucose Glucose: The energy source   and education of her energy. This mechanism of action allows preduktalu protect myocardial cells from being destroyed in a permanent loss of blood supply (ischemia).

The same effect preduktal produces neyrochuvstvitelnye departments eye and ear in a cerebrovascular accident, allowing them to function normally in the conditions of insufficient blood supply.

This preduktal not increase blood flow, but contributes to the slower development of cell damage during ischemia caused by physical activity, starting from the third week of treatment. It also limits the swings in blood pressure without any significant changes in heart rate, decreases the severity and frequency of angina attacks. As a result of this action decreases the need for nitroglycerin (he shoots angina), improves myocardial contractility.

Preductal rapidly absorbed into the blood after oral administration (regardless of the meal) and is valid for one day, the concentration in the blood gradually decreases. It is eliminated from the body through the kidneys unchanged.

Indications for use and rules of admission

Preductal used as a tool for long-term treatment of coronary heart disease. He also contributes to the overall improvement of these patients, including reducing the number and severity of angina attacks and reduces the risk of myocardial infarction. But it preduktal not have vasodilating properties and can not be used to relieve angina attack has already begun Angina - oxygen deficiency .

Used preduktal and dysfunction of the auditory and vestibular system on the background of a long lack of blood supply of the brain. Such changes appear hearing impairment, tinnitus, vertigo. Preductal suspend the development of such violations, and if already there were signs reduces their intensity.

In ophthalmic practice preduktal also used in visual impairment due to lower blood flow in the brain.

Preduktal Take one tablet (20 mg) two - three times a day with meals. Preductal CF take one tablet (35 mg) twice a day, and during the meal. Duration of treatment is determined by a doctor, but that the prolonged use of the drug.

Do not appoint preduktal with severe liver and kidney diseases, as in the following groups of patients required clinical trials have not been performed.

Preductal protect the heart and senses of circulatory disorders.
