To outline echocardiographic features and assess their prognostic significance for major cardiovascular adverse events (MACEs) within 12 months in patients with type 2 myocardial infarction (MI), compared to type 1 MI (T1MI).Material and methods. The prospective observational study included 161 MI patients who underwent coronary angiography within 24 hours of admission. Type 2 MI (T2MI) diagnosis aligned with the Fourth Universal Definition. Echocardiography and speckle-tracking echocardiography were performed within 72 hours of hospitalization. MACEs encompassed cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, and HF-related readmissions. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to evaluate their associations with the outcomes.Results. T2MI were diagnosed in 74 patients (median age, 65 years; males, 55,4%). During follow up, 18 patients for each MI type experienced at least one MACE event. Left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction (LV ejection fraction [LVEF] <50%) was observed in 41 (55.4%) T2MI patients, compared with 66 (75.9%) T1MI patients (p=0.014). Median LVEF and global longitudinal strain [GLS] were 47.5% and 13.4%, respectively, for T2MI, compared to 45% and 13.9%, respectively, for T1MI (p=0.032 and p=0.332, respectively). LV diastolic dysfunction [DD] was observed in 56 (75.7%) T2MI and 77 (88.5%) T1MI patients. Grade III was more frequent in T2MI in comparison with T1MI (14.9% vs 1.1%, p=0.001, respectively), whereas grade I was more common in T1MI patients (75.9% vs 43.2%, p=0.004, respectively). Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction was observed more frequent in T2MI patients, compared to those with T2MI (52.7% vs. 35.6%, p=0.025, respectively). In univariate analysis, grade III DD was significantly associated with MACEs in T2MI (odds ratio [OR] 5.1, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3–18.5, p=0.017). In multivariate analysis, GLS ≤ 9.6% (OR = 17.3, 95% CI 3.0-99.5, p=0.001), and prior MI (OR = 16.6, 95% CI 1.7–157.6, p=0.015) were significantly associated with a heightened risk of MACEs in T2MI patients.Conclusion. Patients with T2MI had high prevalence of LV and RV dysfunction. Echocardiographic assessments, particularly speckle-tracking echocardiography, hold promise in predicting adverse outcomes for these individuals.","PeriodicalId":20812,"journal":{"name":"Rational Pharmacotherapy in Cardiology","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139283703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To study the changes of the levels of cardiac biomarkers (N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and high-sensitivity troponin I (hsTnI)) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) during programmatic treatment with bortezomib (VCd regimen).Material and methods. This prospective pilot study included patients with a newly diagnosed MM (n=30), who were scheduled for a cycle of chemotherapy including a proteasome inhibitor (bortezomib). All patients underwent standard laboratory (complete blood count, biochemical tests, serum protein electrophoresis), electrocardiography, echocardiography, as well as the level of specific laboratory markers of myocardial dysfunction (NT-proBNP) and injury (hsTnI) was determined immediately before treatment, after 3 and 6 cycles of chemotherapy.Results. The mean age was 63,8±10 years with a slight predominance of men (56,7%, n=17). The patients initially had an increased level of NT-proBNP (316 [75,9; 602,6] pg/mL) with its decrease to 144,0 [102,3; 294,0] pg/ml after 3 cycles and to 109,2 [59,9; 344,5] pg/ml after 6 cycles of chemotherapy. At the MM onset, the mean hsTnI values were 0,06 [0,03; 0,49] ng/mL, whereas after 3 and 6 chemotherapy cycles it accounted for 0,02 [0,01-0,68] and 0,65 [0,02; 1,51] ng/ml, respectively, with the normal range of less than 0,1 ng/ml. Despite this, no statistical significance has been obtained. There were no clinical and/or laboratory signs of heart failure, ischemia, or other non-cardiac causes of elevated NT-proBNP levels in this cohort. Multivariate regression analysis revealed the following significant factors influencing the initial hsTnI level: paraprotein, hemoglobin and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). The resulting regression model was characterized by a strong correlation (r=0,702, p<0,001).Conclusion. MM and its pathogenetic features such as paraproteinemia may be challenging for NT-proBNP and hsTnI levels assessment in group of interest before treatment. An unreliable assessment of these markers before chemotherapy may lead to incorrect baseline cardiovascular risk stratification and make it difficult for a cardiologist/cardio-oncologist to choose proper management strategy.","PeriodicalId":20812,"journal":{"name":"Rational Pharmacotherapy in Cardiology","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139285876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 183 patients with CAD in combination with HTN and T2D took part in the study (100 men (54,64%), 83 women (45,36%)). All patients were previously prescribed a statin, antiplatelet therapy, a beta-blocker, and an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). At baseline, the proportion of people taking ARBs and ACEIs was 30% and 70%, respectively. All study participants were discontinued from a previously prescribed ARBs or ACE inhibitors and were prescribed 6-month AZL-M (Edarbi®) therapy. During this period, according to the study plan, patients visited the medical center to assess the effectiveness and safety of therapy and blood pressure changes.Results. The mean age of the patients was 65,0 years (60-69 years), while the mean body mass index (BMI) — 31,24 kg/m2. The mean age of female participants was higher than the mean age of males: 66,35±6,59 vs 62,72±8,82 years (p=0,002). The mean BMI in women was higher and was 33.08 kg/m2, while in men it was 30,74 kg/m2 (p=0,001). Six-month AZL-M therapy decreased 24-hour BP values. Thus, the time index of systolic blood pressure (SBP) hypertension in the daytime decreased from 63% to 12%, while at night from 70% to 10%, and the time index of diastolic blood pressure (DBP) hypertension in the daytime from 18% to 10%, and at night from 44% to 8%. The main result is confirmation of AZL-M effectiveness in relation to BP control, as well as good drug tolerability. At the visit after 1-month AZL-M therapy, target BP values were recorded in 45,4% of participants, and after six months — the proportion of people with normal 24-hour BP values was 69,9%.Conclusion.

The study included 386 patients with STEMI. Main group patients immediately prior to sheath insertion took atorvastatin at a high dose (80 mg). The control group was not prescribed statins before the intervention. In both groups, further statin therapy in the postoperative period was not regulated by the study protocol and was prescribed taking into account current guidelines. In order to equalize the groups according to the main clinical indicators, propensity score matching was carried out, as a result of which new comparison groups of 86 patients each were formed. In order to assess the nephroprotective properties, the following end points were selected: the incidence of AKI according to the CIN and KDIGO criteria, the frequency of serum creatinine level recovery to initial values on the 7th day.Results. In the study sample, the median glomerular filtration rate (GFR) on admission was 86,5 [70,0-97,0] ml/min/1,73 m2. There were 22 (12,7%) and 15 (8,7%) patients with GFR<60 ml/1,73 m2 at admission and kidney pathology, respectively. The median volume of contrast injected during coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was 100 [90-200] ml, while there were 8 (4,7%) patients in whom the volume of contrast injected exceeded 3,7xGFR.

In addition, BP increase in these patients during a doctor’s visit may lead to additional prescription of antihypertensive drugs, increasing costs and side effects. To identify WCE, a large number of methods are used, which can be divided into following groups: I – data from clinical and daytime ambulatory blood pressure measurement, II – clinical and home BP assessment, III – only ambulatory BP measurement, IV – clinical and laboratory BP data, and V – only clinical BP measurement. There are following WCE in patients with HTN: female sex, age, never smoking, as well as anxiety, introversion, etc. WCE is due to the patient’s anxiety state during office BP measurement and a conditioned reflex BP increase associated both with the physician presence and medical background. Severe WCE in some groups of patients with HTN may be associated with a worse prognosis compared with other hypertensive patients as follows: in individuals with a significant difference between clinical and ambulatory blood pressure levels or between the first and third BP office data, with a combination of resistant HTN and WCE, with WCE increasing from visit to visit, etc.","PeriodicalId":20812,"journal":{"name":"Rational Pharmacotherapy in Cardiology","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139285923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article examines the potential of using the \"daily breakfast\"/\"skipping breakfast\" criterion as a prognostic marker. The results of studies on the correlation of daily breakfast with dietary risk factors (obesity and hypertension), type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and the risk of cardiovascular death are presented and analyzed. The effect of breakfast on the depression risk, which is an independent marker of cardiovascular diseases, is being studied. Also, possible pathogenetic mechanisms linking skipping breakfast with increased blood pressure are discussed. Research data is provided confirming the importance of morning meals for health. The article presents data on the prevalence of daily breakfast in the Russian population and in the populations of other countries with developed economies. Information is provided on the history of studying the effect of daily breakfast on health. Also, controversial scientific data is provided on the effect of skipping breakfast on body weight and its effective control. The role of morning meals in weight reduction programs is fully discussed. The issues of connection between the morning meal and daily calorie intake, the nutritional value of consumption of total protein, vitamins and minerals, as well as the uniform meal distribution across the day are considered. Data from a scientific discussion on the criteria for an \"ideal\" breakfast are presented, and general recommendations on the energy and nutritional value of a morning meal and the optimal composition of food are outlined.","PeriodicalId":20812,"journal":{"name":"Rational Pharmacotherapy in Cardiology","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139287613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
