The connection of systemic inflammation and atherosclerosis: What do we know nowadays?

Objective: Aim: To summarise what is known about the inflammatory nature of atherosclerosis to date.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: We conducted the search using Google Scholar and Medline and selected state-of-the-art articles that were consistent with the aim of study.

Conclusion: Conclusions: To date, there is sufficient evidence that atherosclerosis is driven by the inflammatory process.

Normalization of heart rate variability with taurine and meldonium complex in post-infarction patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The purpose of this study is to scrutiny the Dynamics of heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with PICS with 2nd type DM against the background of Taurine (TN) and meldonium (ME). The results of the investigations prove the decrease of the oxidative stress, which is basis of DACN, under the influence of sulfur-containing amino acid taurine (TN), and meldonium (ME) - a competitive inhibitor of gamma-butyrobetaine hydroxylase. Biochemical mechanisms of synergistic action of ME and TN are also described.
