The value of measuring GLS in coronary heart disease is the quantitative detection of wall motion abnormalities, when left ventricular ejection fraction is within normal values and visual assessment does not detect violations of regional contractility. In patients with myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation, GLS measurement may assist in the selection of patients who need urgent reperfusion therapy. In coronary heart disease, GLS can complement the conventional assessment of wall movement; replace the need for additional non-invasive testing for some patients with suboptimal stress tests. The normal limits of the GLS for various manufacturers of ultrasound scanners and technical characteristics for the correct studying of the GLS are described. The value of the GLS gradually decreases in mild, moderate and severe forms of coronary heart disease, and is the lowest in patients with myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation. The possibilities of detecting infarct-related coronary artery using the amplitude of the segmental strain and the «bull’s eye» diagram in isolated lesions of one of the coronary arteries are described. The analysis of the strain curves is carried out, the characteristics of the strain curve in normal conditions and in ischemia are presented. The probable signs of ischemia are the phenomena of early systolic lengthening and postsystolic shortening on the curves of longitudinal deformation. The conditions when the postsystolic contraction on the strain curve is pathological are described. Key words: global longitudinal strain, myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease, «bull’s eye», early systolic lengthening, postsystolic shortening.","PeriodicalId":9540,"journal":{"name":"Cardiac Surgery and Interventional Cardiology","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88086848","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}

Materials and methods. This study was conducted from September 1, 2019 to December 31, 2020 on the basis of the city clinical hospital. The preliminary analysis included 187 patients with acute pulmonary embolism. The study found that 25 (13.3 %) patients died within 30 days (group I): 19 (76.0 %) patients belonged to a high risk of predicted early death and 6 (24.0 %) – to intermediate-high risk. For further analysis, a comparison group (group II) was formed and included 106 (56.7 %) patients who survived within 30 days of the onset of an acute episode of PE: 54 (50.9 %) patients belonged to high risk, 52 (49.1 %) – to intermediate high risk. All patients with pulmonary embolism received anticoagulant therapy according to the current ESC guidelines. Results. The average age of patients in group I was 69.08 ± 14.15 years and was significantly higher than in group II: 65.25 ± 13.29 (p = 0.0169). The proportion of high-risk patients was significantly greater in the І group, the proportion of patients of intermediate-high risk was significantly greater in group II (p = 0.0409). The incidence of classes IV and V according to the PESI index, assessed in patients of intermediate-high risk, was the same in both groups, while patients with the PESI index class III prevailed in group II (p = 0.0380). The risk factors for venous thromboembolism occurred more frequently in patients of group I, i.e. congestive heart failure (p = 0.0065) and obesity (p = 0.0482). Conclusions. There is a high mortality rate within 30 days (13.3 %) in hospitalized patients with acute PE, including 26 % of high-risk patients and 10.3 % of intermediate-high risk. Age over 65 years, the presence of congestive heart failure and obesity are independent factors that, according to uni- and multivariate logistic regression analysis, are associated with poor short-term prognosis in patients with PE.

Materials and methods. This study was conducted from September 2018 to March 2020 in 90 patients with coronary heart disease. Patients were evenly divided into three study groups, depending on the drugs that were used for intraoperative analgosedation. Group 1 – slow intravenous administration of 10 mg of diazepam solution and 100 μg of fentanyl solution for induction and repeated administration of these drugs in the same dose to maintain anesthesia during surgery; group 2 – slow intravenous administration of the solution of fentanyl 1.5 mg/kg per induction and 1.5 mg/kg for 1 h to maintain analgesia, propofol solution was used to maintain a certain level of sedation; group 3 – slow intravenous administration of 1 mg/kg of lidocaine solution for induction, for sedation – propofol solution as well. All patients underwent recanalization as planned. In our study, the main study parameter was the level of IL-6 at the beginning of surgery and 10 minutes after stent implantation. Results. When comparing operational indicators with the results that were obtained after stenting, in all groups, IL-6 indicators were lower than preoperative ones. The statistically significant difference between the studied index before surgery and 10 min after stent implantation was in the groups 2 and 3, in contrast to that in patients of the group 1: the level of IL-6 decreased to 30 % in group 2 (p = 0.005) and in group 3 (p = 0.001). Conclusions. The level of pro-inflammatory IL-6 in routine coronary artery stenting tends to decrease after stent placement, with lower rates under propofol solution usage as an anesthetic. At the same time, in group 3 (where nonopioid analgesia was used) the level of interleukin-6 at point 10 min after stent implantation was significantly lower than in first group. This fact might be explained by usage of lidocaine solution in patients of the third group.

Materials and methods. In one-centre study, during period from 01.01.1969 to 01.10.2020, 962 patients with morphologically verified primary heart tumors were observed. Myxomas of the heart were found in 856 (89.0 %) patients. The pathology of the valve apparatus in combination with cardiac myxomas was noted in 70 (8.1 %) patients. The volume and nature of valve damage differed and depended on size, consistency and localization of myxoma, the degree of its mobility, and the presence of areas of pronounced fibrosis and calcification on the tumor. Results. Surgical correction of lesions of valve structures was performed in 65 patients. In 5 patients, it was possible to remove tumor tissue from the valve apparatus, followed by prevention of disease recurrence without damaging valve and subvalvular structures. Surgical techniques included both plastic manipulation and valve replacement. The features of the long-term postoperative period in such patients include progressive valve dysfunction manifested by the progression of insufficiency due to further deformation of the valve apparatus.
