Abstract

Clinical and experimental studies showed a high therapeutic activity of L-DOPA in combination with traditional methods of infarction treatment. L-DOPA promoted a rapid disappearance of heart failure symptoms and accelerated reparative processes by restoring the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Correctness of the experimentally developed basically new scheme for administration of neurotropic drugs to patients with infarction depending on the disease stage has been validated.
