The purpose of the study was to identify factors characterizing a decrease in LV global systolic function in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after revascularization using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based ischemic injury pattern and laboratory parameters sensu left ventricular global systolic function. A total of 109 STEMI patients were examined. The patients underwent contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI with a 1.

Materials And Methods: Included were 112 EMI patients who received atorvastatin 20-40-80 mg. On days 7-9 from the onset of the disease, after 24 and 48 weeks, ultrasound examination of the carotid arteries with RF technology and applanation tonometry were performed, the lipid profile was determined.
Acute change in mental state is characterized by an impaired level of consciousness, decreased attention, and cognitive changes, and has a variable course throughout its period. Delirium is common in the elderly and hospitalized patients, especially after major surgeries, and increases mortality and morbidity in patients. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between the incidence of delirium after heart surgery and some intrusive factors during surgery.

The current trend in recent years is the search and development of models of cognitive rehabilitation of elderly patients on the basis of digital technology with the ability to transfer the effect on the motor and mental sphere. The literature sources of the last 5-7 years describe dozens of methods of cognitive rehabilitation, including on the basis of computer games, which demonstrate the importance of these techniques not only in improving the cognitive abilities of patients, but also in Preservation of social adaptation and daily functioning.
