Aim: To estimate the possibility of predicting the presence and severity of coronary atherosclerosis from arterial stiffness characteristics and augmentation index (AIx) in patients with essential hypertension (EH) obtained under outpatient conditions.

Materials And Methods: The general clinical examination of 15 patients aged 30-70 yr with EH was supplemented by measuring blood glucose and creatinine levels, the lipid status (LWLP, HDLP, TG), duplex scanning of carotid arteries, and evaluation of arterial stiffness by pulsed wave contour analysis.

Results: AIx and age were independent risk factors of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with EH and severity of its manifestations.

Objective: We aimed to describe clinical, morphological, intraoperative, echocardiographic and electrocardiographic (ECG) associations of PR segment depression (PRsd), as well as its relationship with arrhythmias and outcomes in pericardial diseases (PD).

Methods: Overall, 79 patients among 197 patients with PD, referred to cardiac surgery center for treatment, were eligible for inclusion in the study. ECGs were analyzed for presence of PRsd, abnormal P-wave, low voltage QRS, QRS alternans, STj deviation and arrhythmias.
