[The system of hemostasis in patients with atrial fibrillation: markers of left auricular thrombosis].

Thrombosis of the left atrial appendage (LAA) is considered to be main cause of thromboembolic complications of atrial fibrillation (AF). Aim of this work was to study parameters of the hemostasis system in patients with AF in dependence on the presence of thrombus in the LAA. We examined 92 patients (58 men and 34 women) who at hospital admission had AF attack which lasted more than 48 hours.

[Gender differences in the state of the system of hemostasis in patients with ischemic heart disease].

Levels of fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, d-dimer, antithrombin III, protein C, plasminogen, and plasminogen activator inhibitor were measured in 62 men and 37 women with ischemic heart disease before and after 20-min venous occlusion. Women compared with men had higher baseline levels of fibrinogen (4.046-/+0.

[Electrophoretic alkaline phosphatase isoforms in the placenta in complicated pregnancy].

A clinical study showed that 2 types of changes in electrophoretic spectrum of alkaline phosphatase (AIP) isoforms are distinguished in the chorion of delivered placenta after gestosis. In type I new AIP isoforms appear, while in type II some AIP isoforms disappear or are united in one, which reflects the development of adaptation or pathological processes in the fetoplacental system.
