[Remote electrocardiogram telemonitoring after endovascular interventions on the coronary arteries].

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of a new system for telemetric electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring in patients after endovascular interventions (EI) on the coronary arteries (CA).

Materials And Methods: 168 patients with chronic ischemic heart disease who underwent EI on the CA on an outpatient basis, and during routine hospitalization, followed by telemetric ECG-monitoring after interventions were included. The monitoring was carried out using a three-channel telemetric recorder Astrocard HE3 (Russia), which provides continuous monitoring of 3-lead ECG for a long time.

Low Molecular Weight Apolipoprotein(a) Phenotype Rather Than Lipoprotein(a) Is Associated With Coronary Atherosclerosis and Myocardial Infarction.

Background And Aims: Current evidence suggests that lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] level above 50 mg/dL is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Our study aim was to determine the relationship of apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] phenotypes and Lp(a) concentration below and above 50 mg/dL with coronary atherosclerosis severity and myocardial infarction (MI).

Material And Methods: The study population consisted of 540 patients (mean age 54.

[New opportunities of renal denervation].

Radiofrequency renal artery denervation (RND) was introduced as a method of interventional treatment of resistant hypertension almost ten years ago. The first studies demonstrated the effectiveness of this procedure. This has led to growing interest in this area and the rapid development of the method.

[Safety and clinical-cost effectiveness of percutaneous coronary interventions with overnight hospitalization].

New methods and treatment plans for patients with chronic coronary artery disease after endovascular interventions are currently introduced into clinical practice. It allows reducing hospital stay down to 24 hour, with discharge the next morning. This approach is called overnight stay.

Various approaches for peforming an outpatient coronary angiography.

Aim: To study the safety and clinical efficacy of an outpatient coronary angiography in various groups of patients according to a 6-year experience of the laboratory of endovascular diagnostic and treatment methods in the outpatient setting of the NMRC of Cardiology.

Materials And Methods: 2166 patients which underwent an outpatient coronary agiography from March 2009 to December 2014 were included. The success criteria was the successful completion of the procedure without the occurrence of major cardiovascular complications (death, transmural myocardial infarction; acute cerebrovascular accident, emergency cardiac surgery).
