[Prevalence of cardiiovascular risk factors in Russian population of patients with arterial hypertension].

We studied prevalence of arterial hypertension (AH) and its association with major cardiovascular (CV) risk factors among unorganized adult population aged 25-64 years in 10 Russian cities (Volgograd, Voronezh, Ivanovo, Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk, Orenburg, Vladikavkaz, Samara, Tomsk, Tyumen) with different climatic, geographical, economical and demographical characteristics. This cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted within the framework of the ESSAY RF-2012 (Epidemiology of Cardiovascular diseases in the Regions of the Russian Federation) project. Epidemiological situation concerning AH was found to be unfavorable.

[24-hour systolic wave increment index monitoring in patients with low-renin arterial hypertension].

Aim: To analyze the circadian rhythm of blood pressure (BP) and daily reflected wave values in patients with low-renin hypertension with normal and elevated aldosterone production.

Subjects And Methods: The investigation included 66 patients. 24-hour BP monitoring was carried out and arterial wall rigidity and reflected wave values were assessed in all the patients.

[The role of multispiral computed tomography in assessment of viability of the myocardium and prognostication of left ventricular remodeling in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction].

Aim of the study was to assess perfusion defect and viability of the myocardium by the method of multispiral computed tomography (MSCT) in patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to assess their prognostic role in development of remodeling of the left ventricle (LV). We included into the study 117 patients with AMI. MSCT with intravenous contrast enhancement was carried out on days 3-4 and at 12 months after AMI.

[The hyperuricosuria in patients with high content of triglycerides: the combination of genetic and environmental factors and tactics of treatment].

The increasing of uric acid level (hyperuricosuria) is regularly detected in blood during the examination of patient with such cardiovascular diseases as arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome and obesity. The hyperiricosuria and hypertriglyceridemia are two independent risk factors, especially for arterial hypertension. The higher level of uric acid combined with hyper-lipoproteinemia (phenotypes) IIa and IIb was noted in 65% of patients.

[Comparison of multislice spiral computed tomography and stress echocardiography in the evaluation of myocardial viability in patients with acute myocardial infarction].

The purpose of the investigation was to analyze the data of 64-multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT-64) versus those of low-dose dobutamine echocardiography (stress EchoCG) used to diagnose the viable myocardium in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The investigation enrolled 49 patients with AIM. Contrast-enhanced MSCT-64 and low-dose dubutamine stress EchoCG were performed in patients in the early periods of AMI.
