This is largely due to the reduction of energy in these cells, due to the normalization of qualitative and quantitative ultrastructural features of mitochondria. The positive impact of perindopril on the cardiomyocytes energetic nutrition and prevention of these destructive processes is associated with the development of microvesseles and activation of the transcytosis in them, what reduces ischemia. The course of perindopril in significantly improving the ultrastructural organization of cellular components of left ventricular in rats with SAH. However it doesn’t provide full recovery, which leads to the further research of new treatment regimens.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Farmatsevtychnyi zhurnal}, author={Dovgan, R.
