Outpatient register of patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction (REGATA): prospective follow-up data and outcomes.

Aim      To determine the factors that influence the long-term prognosis in patients after myocardial infarction (MI) as a part of the prospective REGistry of pATients after myocArdial infarction (REGATA).Material and methods  In 2012-2013, 481 post-myocardial infarction patients were included into the REGATA registry; 247 (51.4 %) were men, median age 72 [62; 78] years.

[Telemonitoring in patients with chronic heart failure].

Actuality. High risk of hospitalisation and death in patients with heart failure highlight the importance of developing methods to moni‑ tor weight, diuresis, heart rate and other parameters and provide the physicians with an ability to change the therapy immediately if needed. The aim of this work is an analysis of clinical trials which investigate telemonitoring in patients with heart failure.

In addition to conventional risk factors in young patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) numerous other risk factors including genetics play an important role in its causation. Molecular genetic testing is recommended for the detection of monogenic diseases with a high risk of developing IHD, such as familial hypercholesterolemia. In majority ofyoung patients, the first manifestation of IHD is an acute coronary syndrome.

[Ischemic Heart Disease in Subjects of Young Age: Current State of the Problem: Prevalence and Cardio-Vascular Risk Factors].

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) occurring at age less than 55 in men and less than 65 years in women is designated as premature IHD. However, in different studies these age limits vary from 35 years to 65 years. Among the population of working age in the Russian Federation mortality from IHD is several times higher than in the US and Europe.

Sexual dimorphism in dermatoglyphic traits and fluctuating asymmetry in Bulgarians from northeast Bulgaria.

In parallel with the development of dermatoglyphics as a method of identification, data have been accumulated on the characteristics of fingerprints related to sex and ethnic origin which make up the statistical basis of this study. The aims of the present study are to determine phenotype variations in the asymmetry of dermatoglyphics in both sexes within the scope of the entire hand skin ridge system; to investigate correlations between the phenotypes; and, to assess the fluctuating asymmetry among the Bulgarian population from the region of northwest Bulgaria. The sample consists of 894 unrelated, clinically healthy individuals (480 females and 414 males) aged 18-50 years, who live in towns and villages in the northwest provinces.
