Aim. In this study we evaluated the metabolic syndrome (MetS) prevalence and its structure in Mongolian urban employed population.Material and methods. The prevalence of MetS, defined by IDF (2005), JIS (2009) and modified NCEP ATP III (2004) criteria, was estimated in 1277 Mongolian railway workers...

We assessed the prevalence of obesity and identify obesity-related markers of elevated/high cardiovascular risk among urban employed Mongolians. 1277 railway workers aged 18-63 were investigated. Obesity parameters, blood pressure, lipids and fasting plasma glucose levels were measured. Body composi...

The aim was to study the dynamics of renal function in relation to the fibrosis activity and the arterial stiffness in young and middle-aged patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Materials and methods. 50 young and middle-aged men with AF were examined. The average age was 53.0 (48.0-58.0). The se...

Cardiac complications of non-cardiac surgeries are an actual and unresolved interdisciplinary problem of clinical medicine today. The incidence of cardiovascular events after non-cardiac surgery is higher than in the general population and does not tend to decrease. The risk of cardiac complications...

Aim. To assess the value of cellular indices of systemic inflammation in the prognosis of in-hospital mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI) in combination with type 2 diabetes (T2D).Material and methods. The retrospective case-control study included 125 patients...

The study included 71 patient with ischemic coronary disease (ICD) with type II diabetes mellitus (DM) treated by oral hypoglycemic agents undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The mean age was 59 (56-64) years. Before the surgery the patients were randomized to continuing of o...

Aim. To assess the significance of changes cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcys) in predicting inhospital mortality in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Material and methods....

Myocardial infarction (MI) due to the left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease is a life-threatening condition. Evaluation of ECG signs of LMCA occlusion is important because of revascularization emergency. There is no single ECG pattern for LMCA occlusion. The purpose of the present literature revi...

In recent years, the growth in the number of diabetic patients has been registered in the most countries. In turn, the diseases of the cardiovascular system are still the leading cause of death in many countries. Against the background of rapid growth in the incidence of diabetes mellitus, the numbe...

Aim. To study the shortest term results of coronary bypass (CBG) under “off-pump” circumstances and the condition of carbohydrate metabolism in ischemic disease patients (IHD) with comorbid diabetes 2 type (DM2) under various regimens of perioperation glucose lowering therapy.Material and methods. I...

Aim. To study the long-term dynamics of vascular remodeling in patients with hypertension and high and very high cardiovascular risk when statin is added to antihypertensive therapy with a fixed combination of calcium antagonist and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor.Material and methods....

The review of literature is devoted to interrelations between atrial fibrillation (AF) and kidney function. The focus is on the most probable mechanisms of renal dysfunction in patients with atrial fibrillation such as fibrosis, inflammation, neurohormonal activation. The impact of central and renal...

Aim. To investigate the relationship of soluble ST2 (sST2) to acute heart failure (AHF) and compare the predictive value of sST2 and brain natriuretic peptide in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Material and methods. In 136 STEMI patients, the serum sST2 concentration was det...
