Interrelation of daily blood pressure profile with left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy in men of working age with hypertension.

Objective: Aim: To analyze the relationship between daily blood pressure biorhythms and left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy in working-age men with arterial hypertension.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Fifty-seven men with AH (mean age: 44.6±1.

HEART RATE VARIABILITY AS AN OBJECTIVE CRITERION FOR THE PSYCHO-EMOTIONAL STATE OF COMBATANTS.

Objective: The aim: To evaluate the functioning of the autonomic nervous system in combatants, the relationship between the heat rate variability (HRV) and ques¬tionnaire indicators, to improve the diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and to evaluate the effectiveness of Transcendental Meditation (TM).

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 57 combatants and 30 civilians, with registering ECG and HRV-analysis, self-questionnaire testing.

Results: Results: The combatants' group showed an increase in heart rate, in the degree of centralisation of heart rate control and the R.

ASSOCIATION OF FRACTIONAL FLOW RESERVE WITH CLINICAL AND ANGIOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF PATIENTS WITH STABLE CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE.

Objective: The aim: To identify clinical and angiographic factors, associated with fractional flow reserve (FFR), in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study consecutively enrolled 68 patients with stable CAD (mean age (63±8,0) ys) and angiographically intermediate coronary lesions (diameter stenosis 50-90 %), with FFR assessment. Stable angina of CCS classes II and III was diagnosed in 42 (62 %) and 15 (22 %) patients, respectively; left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) - 27 (40 %); severe coronary stenosis (SCS) (70-90 %) - 46 (68 %).

FEMOROPOPLITEAL ANGIOPLASTY VS OPEN SURGERY FOR CHRONIC LIMB-THREATENING ISCHEMIA.

Objective: The aim: To compare the results of femoro-popliteal PTA vs open surgery in chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) and analyze clinical efficacy long-term results.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Between 2018 - 2019, 145 patients with CLTI who underwent femoro-popliteal arterial segment steno-occlusive lesions (SOL) unilateral revascu¬larization. Open surgery were performed for - 48 (33, 1℅), percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for - 73 (50.

VISIT-TO-VISIT BLOOD PRESSURE VARIABILITY AND TARGET ORGAN DAMAGE IN RURAL DWELLERS WITH UNCOMPLICATED ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION.

Objective: The aim: To examine the association of hypertensive mediated target organ damage with blood pressure visit-to-visit variability in Ukrainian rural dwellers with uncomplicated hypertension.

Patients And Methods: Material and methods: The cross-sectional study enrolled 160 adult males with uncomplicated primary hypertension (mean age 50±6 yo). We analyzed office systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels, obtained at four consecutive visits.

The characterization of headache in patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy of different genesis.

Objective: The aim of the study was to study the headache features in patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy of different genesis.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Clinical-neurological and clinical-instrumental examination of 90 persons aged 40 to 68 was performed. The first group consisted of 60 patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy and arterial hypertension (DE and AH), the second group - 30 patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy and cerebral atherosclerosis (DE and CA).
