Objective: The aim: Was to improve the effectiveness of the treatment of cognitive impairment in patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 56 patients (11 women and 45 men, average age 61.7 ± 4.
Objective: Introduction: Recently, the concept of vascular cognitive impairment, combining all variants of cognitive decline due to cerebrovascular insufficiency, is actively being developed. This concept goes far beyond traditionally existing ideas about the problem of vascular cognitive disturbances. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the correlation between the indices of structural and functional rearrangement of the cardiovascular system and the state of intellectualmnemonic functions in patients with hypertension.

The aim: To assess gender differences in clinical factors associated with coronary artery atherosclerosis severity.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 362 patients (mean age 63.
Objective: Introduction: Heart remodeling is a complex multifactor process determining the prognosis of the patient with any cardio-vascular pathology. There are convincing observations and conclusions in literature about the formation of concentric remodeling of LV prior to the appearance of any changes in AP [4, 5]. But until now there is no common point of view as to the factors involved in remodeling both the myocardium and the vessels, especially in the absence of the major known causative factor - arterial hypertension.

As a rule in patients with non-compacted left ventricle (LVNC) other pathologic condition is diagnosed, notably hypertrophic or dilated cardiomyopathy. The majority of LVNC cases are diagnosed in early infancy but currently there are asymptomatic cases detected by means of echocardiographic examination.

The disease occurs three times more frequently in women than in men irrespective of age. Most of these patients are 45-60 years old.

This disease is presented in the classification of cardiomyopathies and is a variant of restrictive cardiomyopathy. Today Loeffler endocarditis is considered as a manifestation of hypereosinophilic syndrome with predominant heart involvement.

Available in the literature information about LVNC considering multiple left ventricle abnormal chords (LVAC) as one of its criterion motivated us to review the results obtained in the study of young patients with this pathology. The aim of the research was to demonstrate different clinical variants of left ventricular non-compaction course in adult patients and to clarify some pathogenetic aspects of this pathology.
