he concentration of erythropoietin (EPO) in serum was studied. The study included 122 people divided into two groups. The main group (group 1) consisted of 102 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

PREDICTORS OF SUDDEN CARDIOVASCULAR DEATH IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE WITH CONNECTIVE TISSUE DYSPLASIA.

Connective tissue dysplasia (CTD) occurs in 70% of the patients with obstructive bronchial pathology. It promotes the development of electrical instability of myocardium and life-threatening arrhythmias. We studied electrocardiographic markers of myocardial instability in patients with chronic obstructive bronchial pathology and CTD markers.
