Heart Rate Variability in Relation to Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy Among Patients at an Urban Hospital in Kazakhstan.

In clinical practice, heart rate variability (HRV) has not been considered an indicator for the preventive assessment of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN). The paper studies HRV in a large, randomly selected group. A cross-sectional study included a representative sample of 5707 Kazakhs aged 20 years and older from a total population of 25,454 attached to an urban clinic in the capital of Kazakhstan.

in the Faecal Microbiota Demonstrates a Direct Association with Arterial Hypertension in Individuals of the Kazakh Population Without Insulin Resistance.

The gut microbiota plays a fundamental role in the host's energy metabolism and the development of metabolic diseases such as arterial hypertension, insulin resistance, and atherosclerosis. Our study aimed to investigate the potential role of the gut microbiota in arterial hypertension among individuals of the Kazakh population without insulin resistance. 16S rRNA gene sequencing of faecal samples from 197 Kazakh subjects was performed.

Polymorphism rs564398 of the ANRIL Gene as a Coronary-Artery-Disease-Associated SNP in Diabetic Patients of the Kazakh Population.

Background/objectives: A cardiovascular complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus like coronary artery disease is influenced by a complex interplay between environmental, phenotypic, and genetic factors. The genetic mechanisms in the development of this pathology are not established. This study aims to evaluate the association of polymorphisms rs1011970, rs62560775, and rs564398 from the 9p21.

Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy Is Not Associated with Apolipoprotein E Gene Isoforms in the Kazakh Population: A Case-Control Study.

The absence of an early diagnosis of cardiac autonomic neuropathy might increase the risk of the disease, progressing to an irreversible stage. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the gene isoforms in patients with cardiac autonomic neuropathy to identify early markers for predicting this disease in the Kazakh population. A total of 147 patients with cardiac neuropathy and 153 controls were examined in this case-control study.

Genetic markers of cardiac autonomic neuropathy in the Kazakh population.

Background: Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) that increases the risk of morbidity and mortality by disrupting cardiac innervation. Recent evidence suggests that CAN may manifest even before the onset of DM, with prediabetes and metabolic syndrome potentially serving as precursors. This study aims to identify genetic markers associated with CAN development in the Kazakh population by investigating the SNPs of specific genes.
