Abstract

The purpose of this study is to scrutiny the Dynamics of heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with PICS with 2nd type DM against the background of Taurine (TN) and meldonium (ME). The results of the investigations prove the decrease of the oxidative stress, which is basis of DACN, under the influence of sulfur-containing amino acid taurine (TN), and meldonium (ME) — a competitive inhibitor of gamma-butyrobetaine hydroxylase. Biochemical mechanisms of synergistic action of ME and TN are also described. The results of the studies of 98 patients with PICS and concomitant 2nd type diabetes mellitus were analyzed. They were distributed by simple randomization method into two groups, comparable according to age and sex: the main group (MG) (n = 68): and group of comparison (GoC) (n = 30). HRV was evaluated twice daily at the Cardiosense HMEGG system: at baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment. For the assessment of HRV the frequency and spectral parameters were used. While evaluating the different methods of treatment, their influence on the range of spectral and time indices of HRV was determined (p = 0.001 by the criterion of Kruskall-Wallis). It was learned that the combined application of ME and TN gives a statistically significant (p <0.01) increase of SDNN, HF at night, pNN — on 50% by day (p <0.01, p <0.001 and p <0.01 respectively), and statistically significant decrease in LF at night, compared to GHG.
