NON-INVASIVE CORONARY ARTERIES ATHEROSCLEROSIS CT-VISUALIZATION: UP-TO-DATE STANDARDS AND OWN CLINICAL EXPERIENCE STUDY.

Non-invasive coronary arteries (CA) visualization experiences fast progress recently. Existing evidence-based dataand trials show that there is a great need in non-invasive technologies able to trustworthy and accurately identifyCA high risk atherosclerotic plaques (AP) and provide more insights into atherosclerosis pathophysiology in individ-ual patents, being accurate qualitative and quantitative methods of primary diagnosis and answer to therapeuticintervention indicators in patients with coronary artery (CAD). Until now in Ukraine there were no studies evaluat-ing accuracy of last generation 640-sliced computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) in diagnosing of dif-ferent CAD forms.

SPECKLE TRACKING DOBUTAMINE STRESS ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY IN PRIMARY CORONARY ARTERIES DISEASE DIAGNOSIS.

Objective: The aim of the work was to evaluate STE feasibility as DSE visualization method and its accuracy compared to coronary angiography (CAG) in the patients with moderate-tohigh coronary arteries disease (CAD) risk.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We prospectively examined 140 pts (84 (60.0%) men) with suspected CAD in order to verify diagnosis and evaluate myocardial viability and coronary reserve.

Ischemic mitral regurgitation: problem extent in cardiovascular surgery clinic.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence, etiology, mechanisms and severety of all cases of MR, including IMR, in the patients population with suspected or proved CAD before coronary arteries evaluation and surgery or intervention.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study prospectively included 370 patients with verified or suspected (angina pectoris suspicion or manifested CHF) CAD of all clinical forms (stable, unstable, post-AMI, prior revascularization, etc.).

[Assessment of results of transesophageal echocardiography in patients with atrial flutter].

We performed 89 transesophageal electric cardiac stimulation procedures (TEECS) in order to restore sinus rhythm in 75 (84.3%) men and 14 (15.7%) women with type I atrial flutter (AF) due to coronary heart disease (n=59, 66.

[Prospective study on the survival of patients with liver cirrhosis: state of the cardiovascular system].

Study of survival of patients with the help of disease severity Child-Pugh index which is a reliable marker of the liver cirrhosis forecast and control for efficiency of therapy. The determination of points in classes of disease severity differentiated by Child-Pugh index allows predicting the course of liver cirrhosis and decrease in points may suggest improvement of the disease. It is revealed, that one third of patients from a class C dies during two years as a result of the development of systolic heart failure.

Left ventricle diastolic function in the patients after coronary arteries bypass graft combined with left ventricle aneurismectomy according to tissue doppler imaging: one year follow-up.

Aim: To evaluate left ventricle (LV) diastolic function dynamics in patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after combined operation of coronary artery bypass graft with LV aneurismectomy (CABG + AE) according to the results of tissue Doppler imaging (TDI).

Methods: Forty patients after AMI underwent Doppler echocardiography (EchoCG) with TDI and M-mode colour-flow imaging before and in 3 and 12 months after CABG + AE. Mitral annulus (MA) TDI with velocity indices was performed in 4 segments of LV.

Particles of liquid-crystalline dispersions formed by (nucleic acid-rare earth element) complexes as a potential platform for neutron capture therapy.

Microscopic size particles of the cholesteric double-stranded DNA (RNA) liquid-crystalline dispersions, containing the ions of the rare earth elements in their content, have been obtained for the first time. The properties of these particles differ from those of classical DNA cholesterics noticeably. The local concentration of the rare earth elements in a particle reaches 200 mg/ml.
