Effectiveness of Trimetazidine in Patients with Stable Angina Pectoris of Various Durations: Results from ODA
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Trimetazidine (TMZ) is an antianginal agent that acts directly at the myocardial cell level and which is now available in a once-daily (od) formulation. METHODS: ODA, a 3-month, observational, multicenter study in Russia, assessed the effectiveness and tolerability of TMZ 80 mg od in patients with stable angina and persisting symptoms, in real-life settings. The present analysis explored the effects of adding TMZ to background antianginal treatment with respect to the duration of stable angina. RESULTS: A total of 3032 patients were divided into four groups according to stable angina pectoris duration since diagnosis, ranging from less than 1 year to more than 10 years. A decrease in frequency of angina attacks was observed, including in patients with angina duration < 1 year, in whom the frequency of weekly angina attacks decreased from 3.8 ± 2.9 to 1.4 ± 1.7 at 1 month and 0.6 ± 1.0 at 3 months. Short-acting nitrate consumption and proportion of angina-free patients decreased, and self-reported physical activity and adherence to antianginal therapy improved in all patient groups, including recently diagnosed patients and starting already at month 1. CONCLUSIONS: Addition of TMZ 80 mg od to antianginal treatment was effective in reducing the frequency of angina attacks and the use of short-acting nitrates, improving Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) class, self-reported physical activity, and adherence to antianginal therapy. These beneficial effects were observed in patient groups with different durations of stable angina, suggesting an opportunity for decreasing angina burden even in recently diagnosed patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ISRCTN registry Identifier, ISRCTN97780949.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
