Gender Differences in Atherosclerotic Vascular Disease: From Lipids to Clinical Outcomes.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the main reasons of death and morbidity in the world. Both women and men have high rates of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, although gender-related differences in mortality and morbidity rates are observed in different age groups of the population. In the large cohort of cardiovascular disease, ischemic heart disease (IHD), heart failure (HF), systemic hypertension, and valvular heart disease are particularly common in the population.

May Measurement Month 2018: an analysis of blood pressure screening results in Georgia.

May Measurement Month (MMM) is aimed at raising public awareness about arterial hypertension-the main risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in the population. Screening was carried out at 200 sites on a national scale. More than 500 volunteers, including doctors (80%) and medical students (20%) participated in the screening.

[State of cerebral circulation in patients with essential arterial hypertension].

In order to evaluate the volumetric flow rate of the blood in the major extracranial arteries, as well as to assess intracranial haemodynamics in patients presenting with isolated arterial hypertension and those with haemodynamically insignificant pathologies of the "CA" the authors analysed the findings obtained in a total of 159 patients (71 males and 88 females) who were diagnosed with mild, moderate and severe arterial hypertension. The average age of the patients amounted to 59 +/- 12 years. Studying the thickness of the intima-medial complex of the common carotid artery in both isolated arterial hypertension (AH) andAH combined with atherosclerotic alterations in the CA demonstrated its thickening, which was more evident in a combination of atherosclerosis with AH.
