[The pulse wave velocity and fatal events rate in hypertensive patients have gone through acute coronary syndrome].

There are several stratification scales of major cardiovascular events rate for patients have gone through acute coronary syndrome (ACS). None of them is perfect one. Arterial hypertension is included into some scales for post ACS patients but the features of it and its impact on coronary artery disease after ACS have never studied before.

[Prognostic value of aortic stenosis in patients after acute coronary syndrome].

With the aim to assess prevalence of aortic stenosis (AS) and prognostic value of its detection among survivors of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) we examined 851 patients included into multicenter prospective study of risk factors of serious vascular events and death after acute coronary syndrome. The patients were enrolled into the study in stable condition on 10th day after onset of myocardial infarction (MI) or unstable angina (UA). Examination involved medical history, laboratory tests and echocardiography.

[Gene IL6 G(-174)C and gene IL10 G(-1082)A polymorphisms are associated with unfavourable outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome].

We investigated the association of gene IL6 G(-174)C polymorphism and gene IL10 G(-1082)A polymorphism with coronary artery disease (CAD) in the Russian population. A total of 1145 patients with CAD diagnose on the basis of clinical studies in cardiological hospitals of Moscow, St -Petersburg, Kazan, Chelyabinsk, Perm, Stavropol and Rostov-on-Don. Supervision term was 9.

[Polymorphic markers G(-455)A of gene FGB and C(-1654)T of gene PROC and genetic predisposition to unfavorable outcomes patients undergoing acute coronary syndrome].

We investigated the association of polymorphisms of genes FGB G(-455)A and PROCC(-1654)T with coronary artery disease (CAD) in the Russian population. A total of 1145 patients with CAD diagnose on the basis of clinical studies in cardiological hospitals of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Chelyabinsk, Perm, Stavropol and Rostov-on-Don.

[Genetic aspects of individual sensitivity to betaxolol in patients with arterial hypertension].

Association of polymorphism of b1-adrenoreceptors gene and cytochrome 2D6 gene with efficacy of b-adrenoblocker betaxolol was studied in 81 patients with I and II degree arterial hypertension. Betaxolol (10-20 mg/day) was given for 4 weeks, its efficacy was assessed by office blood pressure (BP) measurements, 24-hour BP and ECG monitoring and standard exercise test. At the end of the study significant lowering of systolic and diastolic BP was noted by 11,8 +/- 2,47 (p=0,001) and 7,8 +/- 1,68 mm Hg (p=0,001), respectively.
