[Relationship between mass of the left ventricular myocardium and uric acid metabolic imbalance in patients with arterial hypertension].

Aim: To analyse relationships between left ventricular myocardium mass (LVMM) and imbalance of uric acid metabolism in patients with arterial hypertension (AH).

Material And Methods: Body mass index, waist/hip circumference index, levels of uric acid in the blood and urine, urinary excretion of albumin, LVMM were estimated in 106 patients with mild and moderate AH (70 males and 36 females, mean age 51 +/- 8.5 years).

[Urate affection of kidneys and metabolic disturbances in hypertensive patients].

Aim: To detect urate renal affection and correlations between purine metabolism, hyperinsulinemia, obesity, dyslipidemia in patients with arterial hypertension (AH).

Materials And Methods: 78 patients with mild, moderate and severe hypertension have undergone 24-h monitoring of arterial pressure and microalbuminuria test.

Results: Hyperuricemia was diagnosed in 21 of 78, hyperuricosuria in 27 patients.

[Hyperbaric oxygenation and antiaggregants: effects on platelet function in patients with ischemic heart disease].

Platelet function (duration and percentage of aggregation and disaggregation) was studied in 65 chronic coronary patients over the course of hyperbaric oxygenation and antiaggregant therapy. A course of hyperbaric oxygenation (8 to 12 sessions at absolute atmosphere of 1.3-1.
