[Meteorological risk factors of stroke].

Based on correlation analysis of stroke, recorded in Khanty-Mansiysk during 5 years, and standard meteorological factors, we found the significant relationship between the frequency of stroke and daily temperature amplitude. The positive correlation between the frequency of stroke and between-day changes in air temperature in the combination with changes in atmospheric pressure during 3 h was identified. A maximal number of strokes was recorded in December, April, May and July and a minimal number was in January, June, August and September.

[Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of stroke in the Khanty-Mansi autonomous region].

A study of registry data revealed that morbidity, mortality, early lethality and frequency of secondary cases of stroke were significantly lower compared to those in the Russian Federation that could be explained by the younger mean age of the population in the Khanty-Mansi autonomous okrug (KMAO). Annual frequency of new cases of stroke among men was higher than among women though the prevalence of risk factors was lower in men. The levels of morbidity in men and women differed significantly than in the country as a whole.

[Isolated elevation of troponin-T level after percutaneous coronary interventions: clinical significance].

Relationship between isolated elevation of troponin-T (Tn-T) level after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and remote outcomes was studied in 124 patients with ischemic heart disease with normal level of creatine kinase MB fraction after elective PCI. Blood samples for measurement of markers of myocardial necrosis were taken before, and in 8 and 24 hours after PCI. Patients were divided into 2 groups: without (n=58, group 1) and with (n=54, group 2) postprocedural elevation of Tn-T level above upper limit of normal ( more or equal 0.

[Early invasive and non-invasive approach to treatment of acute non-ST-segment elevation coronary syndrome].

Aim: The aim of the study is to assess the efficiency of early invasive treatment versus conservative treatment for patients with non-ST acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and to study immediate results of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in terms of the risk of adverse events.

Material And Methods: The investigation includes 112 patients with non-ST ACS having risk of adverse outcome determined by the GRACE system. More than half of the patients (77/68.

[Autopsy study in the analysis of cardiovascular mortality].

The frequency of using autopsy to verify the cardiovascular causes of death was studied in typical regions of Russia. One thousand and sixty deaths from circulatory system diseases were analyzed among a representative sample of 285,736 subjects. Death occurred outside health care facilities in 88% of the analyzed cases; nevertheless, autopsy was made only in 28.
