Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze clinical data from patients with non-obstructive ischemic heart disease (IHD) and multifocal atherosclerosis (MFA) in the KAMMA registry, focusing on those who underwent coronary angiography (CAG).
- Out of 1,893 IHD patients, only 8.7% had non-obstructive coronary atherosclerosis (CA), with many affected by MFA in various arteries, especially the brachiocephalic and lower extremity arteries.
- Patients with non-obstructive CA, predominantly women, had fewer traditional risk factors like smoking and diabetes, but higher cholesterol levels; they also experienced less severe IHD and acute coronary syndrome compared to those with obstructive
Introduction: Despite epidemiological evidence linking COVID-19 with cardiovascular diseases, little is known about whether and how coronavirus infection (CVI) influences atrial fibrillation (AF), the most prevalent arrhythmia in clinical practice.
Materials And Methods: We examined 621 patients with AF using the Morisky-Green scale (MMAS-4) criteria to assess adherence to antithrombotic therapy. They received inpatient treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this article we present a clinical case of a 46-year-old man, who developed ventricular fibrillation at the background of implanted left ventricular assist device (LVAD) Heart Mate II because of dilated cardiomyopathy with biventricular chronic heart failure. Ventricular fibrillation required electrical and medical defibrillation with further treatment in the intensive care unit.

The aim of this analysis was to assess burnout prevalence in doctors and nurses of a cardiological hospital in Almaty, Kazakhstan and ascertain whether smoking, alcohol and physical activity may predict job-associated burnout.
Methods: The staff of the City Cardiological Centre of Almaty ( = 259, 82% females) filled in the questionnaire with the questions on demographics, lifestyle, including smoking, alcohol and physical activity, as well as fatigue (using Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS)) and burnout using Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel.
