[Dynamics of laboratory markers of endothelial dysfunction during treatment of unstable angina].

This study was aimed to assess the diagnostic value of laboratory markers of endothelial lesions in patients with unstable angina (UA). Plasma levels of CRP, homocysteine, endothelin-1 (ET1), and pregnancy-associated plasma protein (pAPP-A) were measured by an ultrasensitive method in 51 patients. They were followed up for 4 months to evaluate the clinical picture of CHD and dynamics of laboratory parameters.

[Clinico-angiographic correlations in intramural myocardial infarction].

The results of examination of 74 patients aged 33 to 65 years with intramural myocardial infarction (MI) are analyzed. It is established that as compared to patients with transmural MI, this group of patients showed recurrent attacks of angina pectoris and MI more frequently (during treatment at hospital). In addition, the exercise test in such patients was positive more often either (the data are statistically significant).
