[Search for an Optimal Formula for Calculation of the Corrected QT Interval in Children Based on Data of Clinical-Epidemiological Study].

The aim of the study was to compare different types of QT correction, establish age norms of QT duration, and assess associations between QT duration and heart rate (HR) in children. The sample comprised 0-18-year-old children (n=5909) selected from general population. The study examined several existing formulas of corrected QT (Bazett, Fridericia, Framingham, and Hodges) and modified Bazett formula developed for healthy children.

[Coronary Heart Disease at the Patient With Metabolic Syndrome: Strategy of Antianginal Therapy].

Fist-line drugs in ischemic heart disease are -adrenoblockers. However there are cases when comorbidities limit possibilities of their use. In metabolic syndrome some representatives of this class unfavorably affect insulin sensitivity, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.

[Ability to Overcome the Thrombocyte Resistance to Acetylsalicylic Acid in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease After Myocardial Revascularization With Coronary Stenting].

Resistance to acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in patients with coronary artery disease is a poor predictor for the development of atherothrombotic complications. In 277 patients with coronary artery disease suffered uncomplicated coronary angioplasty with stent implantation, we was estimated arachidon-induced platelet aggregation during treatment with acetylsalicylic acid by bedside VerifyNow Assay test at 28-90 days after the intervention. It was found that 18.

[First Open Study of Syndrome of Acute Decompensation of Heart Failure and Concomitant Diseases in Russian Federation: Independent Registry ORAKUL].

Aim of the study was to assess mortality and rate of repetitive hospital admissions on days 30, 90, 180, 360 of observation as well as prevalence of concomitant diseases in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). The register was formed in 41 centers of 20 cities.

[Cognitive Impairment in Postmenopausal Women With Arterial Hypertension].

The aim of the study was to assess relationship between organ damage and changes of cognitive function in postmenopausal women with arterial hypertension during 3 years of follow-up. A total of 55 women (aged 69+/-9,5 years) with stable course of hypertension were included. During period of observation and treatment cognitive function deteriorated in 40 and improved in 60% of women.

[Hybrid revascularization: a combined approach to multivessel coronary artery lesions].

Analysis of effectiveness and feasibility of hybrid approach to multivessel coronary artery disease and problems of interaction between cardiac surgeons and interventional cardiologists in deciding on the choice of revascularization method is performed in the article. Hybrid approach to multivessel disease defined as sternal sparing, off-pump, minimally invasive, hand sewn left internal mammary - left anterior descending (LAD) arteries by-pass graft with percutaneous coronary revascularization of non-LAD lesions to achieve functionally complete revascularization is described in detail. Data of multicenter studies and clinical recommendations for myocardial revascularization is discussed.
