Background: Despite of considerable advances in its diagnosis and management, heart failure remains an unsettled problem and life threatening. Heart failure with a growing prevalence represents a burden to healthcare system, responsible for deterioration of patient’s daily activities. Galectin-3 is a new cardiac biomarker in prognosis for heart failure. Serum galectin-3 has some relation to heart failure NYHA classification, acute coronary syndrome and clinical outcome. Level of serum galectin-3 give information for prognosis and help risk stratifications in patient with heart failure, so intensive therapeutics can be approached to patients with high risk. Objective: To examine plasma galectin-3 level in hospitalized heart failure patients, investigate the relationship between galectin-3 level with associated diseases, clinical conditions and disease progression in hospital. Methodology: Cross sectional study. Result: 20 patients with severe heart failure as NYHA classification were diagnosed by The ESC Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure (2012) and performed blood test for serum galectin-3 level. Increasing of serum galectin-3 level have seen in all patients, mean value is 36.5 (13.7 – 74.0), especially high level in patient with acute coronary syndrome and patients with severe chronic kidney disease. There are five patients dead. Conclusion: Serum galectin-3 level increase in patients with heart failure and has some relation to NYHA classification, acute coronary syndrome. However, level of serum galectin-3 can be affected by severe chronic kidney disease, more research is needed on this aspect Key words: Serum galectin-3, heart failure, ESC Guidelines, NYHA

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of clonal disorders arising from hematopoietic stem cells and are generally characterized by inefficient hematopoiesis and dysplasia. The International Prognostic Scoring Sytem (IPSS) is an important standard for assessing prognosis of primary untreated adult patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Ineffective hematopoiesis leading to anemia is the most common cause of the arrival of patients with MDS in the emergency room . Patients with MDS have a number of associated conditions such as chronic kidney disease and hypertension, and may be present as acute coronary syndrome. We report a case of a 83-year-old female with MDS that was diagnosed in 2014 and had no specific treatment. She presented to the emergency department at the beginning of 2016 because of epigastric and chest pain that began in the morning. Diagnosis of subacute STEMI with a scar formed on front wall and elevated high-sensitivity troponin (hsTnI) which amounted to 1,369 ng / L (reference value < 15.6 ng / L) was made, and the patient was hospitalized in the Coronary Care Unit . The care for this population of patients, mainly elderly, in the emergency department requires a comprehensive approach due to the presence of associated conditions such as hypertension, chronic kidney disease and ischemic heart disease. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death in all countries worldwide.

Aim: to assess relation ofhigh functional activity ofplatelets to prognosis ofunfavorable cardiovascular events in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).Materials. The study was based on the data of a single center ACS registry conducted in the Central Clinical Hospital of the Presidential Affairs Department of Russian Federation. Of 529 included patients in 425 without contraindications to double antiplatelet therapy we carried out analysis of dependence of 30 days level of unfavorable events on parameters of functional activity of platelets.Results. High on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) was found to be associated with 3.5 increase of mortality in the group of patients with high cardiovascular risk. Logistic model of prognosis of unfavorable events based on multifactorial analysis of data from patients with measured platelet aggregation included chronic kidney disease, type of myocardial infarction, and degree ofplatelet aggregation >45%. C -statistic was equal to 0.77. We also present in this paper discussion of problems related to studying approaches to individualization of anti-aggregation therapy in real clinical practice and problems of organization ofsimilar studies.Conclusion. The study showed that patients with ACS increased platelet aggregation, as well as chronic kidney disease and type 2 MI are associated with a 30 day prognosis of adverse events.

Background: Chronic kidney disease is a frequent comorbidity among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We aimed to evaluate treatment characteristics in ACS patients according to their renal function and to assess the effect of differences in therapy on clinical outcomes. Methods: Included were patients with ACS enrolled in the biennial Acute Coronary Syndrome Israeli Surveys (ACSIS) during 2000-2013. Excluded were patients with cardiogenic shock at presentation. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula. The distribution of the eGFRs was divided into 4 categories (<45, 45-59.9, 60-74.9, and ≥75 mL/min/1.73 m2). The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality at 1 year. Results: A total of 13,194 patients with ACS were included. Patients with a reduced eGFR were less likely to be admitted to a coronary care unit and had lower rates of coronary angiograms and subsequent percutaneous coronary interventions. Furthermore, as the eGFR was lower, the patients were less frequently treated with aspirin, clopidogrel, β-blockers, and ACE inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers. We demonstrated an inverse association between renal function and 1-year mortality, with the highest mortality rates observed in the group with the lowest eGFR (HR = 3.8, 95% CI 2.9-4.9, p < 0.0001). Differences in mortality remained significant following a multivariate analysis for all the baseline characteristics as well as for invasive and medical treatment (HR = 2.7, 95% CI 1.9-3.7, p < 0.0001). Conclusions: ACS patients with chronic kidney disease represent a high-risk group with an increased mortality risk. Despite this high risk, these patients are less frequently selected for an invasive treatment strategy and are less commonly treated with guideline-based medications. However, reduced renal function was associated with higher mortality regardless of the variations in therapy.

Abstract Background and Aims Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are at high risk for recurrent cardiovascular (CV) events, particularly in the presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Apabetalone (APB) is a novel inhibitor of bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) proteins. Its cardiovascular efficacy and safety were evaluated in a phase 3 trial, BETonMACE. Method BETonMACE was a randomized, double-blind, comparison of effects of ABP or placebo (PBO) on major adverse CV events (MACE) defined as CV-death, non-fatal myocardial infarct or stroke, in 2425 pts with T2D and recent ACS. Here we report MACE plus CHF hospitalization in subjects with or without CKD Stage 3. Results Baseline characteristics: median age 62 years, 25.6% female, 87.6% white, 90% high intensity statin use, mean LDL-C 70.3 and HDL-C 33.3 mg/dl, median HbA1c 7.3%, and 11% with CKD Stage 3. Overall in the trial, MACE plus CHF hospitalization occurred in 139 (11.5%) patients with ABP and 173 (14.3%) with PBO (HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.63-0.98). In the subgroup with CKD, MACE plus CHF hospitalization occurred in 16 (12.9%) on APB and 41 (25%) on PBO (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.26-0.89). In the subgroup without CKD, MACE plus CHF hospitalization occurred in 123 (11.3%) and 132 (12.7%) with APB or PBO, respectively (HR 0.89, 95% CI 0.70-1. Conclusion Patients with T2D, ACS, and Stage 3 CKD have a very high risk of subsequent MACE plus CHF hospitalization. The BET protein inhibitor ABP may reduce this risk.
