[Data of coronary angiography and rheological properties of erythrocytes in non ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome].

We assessed character and extent of coronary vessels involvement in 27 patients with non ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) and compared angiography data with rheological properties of erythrocytes of patients and 30 practically healthy men. Stenoses of main branches of coronary vessels were found almost in 3/4 of cases. In 4 patients without stenoses in main branches of coronary arteries we revealed lowering of blood flow velocity related to small vessel disease (syndrome X).

[The influence of primary coronary balloon angioplasty on the systolic function of the left ventricle in patients with acute heart failure and myocardium infarction with low Q wave].

The investigation included 56 patients with MI of lower localization and acute left ventricle failure (ALVF). Group A included 33 patients with primary coronary balloon angioplasty (PCBAP), in group B there were 23 patients with MI and ALVF without revascularization. Group A was divided into 2 subgroups--A1 (patients with history of IM) and A2 (patients without previous MI).
