Aim    Analysis of the cardioprotective effectivity of chronopharmacotherapy in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) after transient ischemic attack (TIA).Material and methods    174 patients with AH and TIA were evaluated. All patients were randomized to three groups based on the dosing schedule of chronopharmacotherapy: group 1 (n=59), patients receiving indapamide retard 1.5 mg and valsartan 160 mg, both in the morning; group 2 (n=58), indapamide retard 1.5 mg in the morning and valsartan 160 mg in the evening; group 3 (n=57), indapamide retard 1.5 mg in the morning and valsartan 80 mg in the morning and evening. Echocardiography (EchoCG) (ALOKA SSD 2500, Japan) was performed for all patients at baseline and at 12 months of the treatment. Statistical analysis of results was performed with the Statistica 12.0 (StatSoftInc, USA) software.Results    Before the treatment, EchoCG parameters did not significantly differ between the patient groups. After 12 months of the treatment, positive changes in the end-systolic dimension (ESD), interventricular septal thickness (IVST), thickness of the left ventricular posterior wall (TLVPW), LV myocardial mass (LVMM), LVMM index (LVMMI), ejection fraction (EF), ratio of transmitral early peak flow velocity and late filling flow velocity (E/A), and isovolumetric velocity relaxation time (IVRT) were more pronounced in the group of sartan evening dosing (group 2) than in the group of sartan single morning dosing (group 1) (p<0.05). In group 3, the changes in ESD, IVST, TLVPW, LVMM, LVMMI, EF, E/A ratio, deceleration time (DT) of LV, and IVRT were significantly greater than those in group 1, whereas the dynamics of ESD, IVST, TLVPW, LVMM, LVMMI, E/A ratio, and DT were better in group 3 than in group 2 (p<0.05). In addition, a significantly greater number of patients with normalized LV geometry was registered in group 3 compared to groups 1 and 2 (p<0.05). The number of patients with normal LV diastolic function after the treatment was also significantly greater in group 3 than in group 1 (p<0.05) and comparable with group 2.Conclusion    The morning dosing of indapamide retard and the b.i.d. dosing of valsartan provided more pronounced beneficial changes in major EcoCG indexes and improvement of LV geometry and diastolic function than the sartan single dosing only in the morning or evening in combination with the diuretic.

Due to the growing number of patients with age-related diseases, the aim of the study was to investigate in the changes of aging rate (AR) in patients with comorbid course of arterial hypertension (H), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) and to study the features of these changes depending on hormonal imbalance. 118 patients (63 women and 55 men, average age — 53.6±4.3 years) were divided into 3 groups: group 1 (n=37) with isolated H; group 2 (n=42) — with H and T2DM; group 3 (n=39) — with H, T2DM and SH. The investigation program included: measurement of anthropometric parameters (blood pressure, height, body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI)), carbohydrate and thyroid metabolism using standard methods, biological age (BA) by V.P. Voitenko et al. Statistical processing was performed using the Statistica for Windows 8.0 software package. When evaluating AR, physiological aging was found in 8 patients (21.6%) of group 1, in 4 (9.5%) patients of group 2 and 3 (7.7%) of patients in group 3. In the overwhelming majority of the examined patients, premature aging (PA) was noted, however, the acceleration of PA between patients of groups 2 and 3 was not differ significantly (p>0.05). The increase in AR in group 2 patients was accompanied by an increase in BA by 7.2 years, in 3 group patients — by 7.3 years compared with their chronological age. A correlation analysis revealed a positive relationship between BMI and coefficient of aging rate (CAR) (r=0.679; p<0.05); BMI and BA (r=0.562; p<0.05) and CAR and the TSH level (r=0.050; p=0.388) in the 3rd group. Thus, the presence of hypertension and comorbid endocrinopathies — T2DM and SH significantly increases the AR and when assessing the effect of endocrine disorders, the presence of T2DM is more important than SH.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Aim of study. To study spontaneous platelet aggregation in patients with arterial hypertension with different functional classes (FC) of CHF with preserved systolic function not taking antiplatelet therapy. Material and Methods 51 patients with AH with different types of CHF, mean age 55.4 ± 5.9 years, with preserved left ventricular systolic function according to ECHO-CS were studied. The patients were divided into 4 groups depending on FC of CHF: Group 1 - 0 FC of CHF (n = 11), Group 2 - 1 FC of CHF (n = 13), Group 3 - 2 FC of CHF (n = 14), and Group 4 - 3 FC of CHF (n = 13). Spontaneous platelet aggregation was determined on a KFK-2MP photoelectrocolorimeter (Russia). Results. During the study, the spontaneous platelet aggregation was 1.08 ± 0.31 in patients with CHF class 0 (1 gr), and 1.22 ± 0.25 in patients with CHF class 1, with no statistical difference in comparison with 1 gr (p = 0.233). In group 3 (2FC CHF), spontaneous platelet aggregation was 1.33 ± 0.27, with a statistically significant difference with spontaneous platelet aggregation in patients with type 0 (p = 0.042), but with group 2 (1FC CHF), no statistically significant difference was found (p = 0.281). Spontaneous platelet aggregation in group 4 (3FC CHF) was 1,62 + 0,32, with statistically significant difference in comparison with all groups, so with group 1 - p &lt; 0,001, with group 2 - p = 0,016 and with group 3 - p = 0,017. Conclusion. Patients with arterial hypertension with preserved systolic function showed an increase in spontaneous platelet aggregation with increasing functional class of CHF, and the most significant increase in platelet aggregation was seen in patients with class 3 CHF.

Objective. To compare parameters of 24-hour blood pressure (BP) monitoring in young men with normal, high normal BP and arterial hypertension 1 degree. Design and methods. 102 men (group 1 — 32 subjects with optimal and normal BP, group 2 — 34 subjects with high normal BP, group 3 — 36 men with 1 degree hypertension) underwent 24-hour BP monitoring, and parameters of BP loading and BP changes during the day night were assessed. Results. To a considerable extent subjects with high normal BP demonstrated hypertension at 24-hour BP monitoring, and are characterized by higher «loading pressure» and higher morning BP elevation compared to those with normal and optimal BP; in the group with higher BP the number of patients with normal night profile of BP decreases. Conclusions. Our data confirm that 24-hour BP monitoring should be performed in all patients with high normal BP, and the latest should be considered a group of a higher cardiovascular risk. The disorders of daily BP profile become more profound as arterial hypertension develops.

Abstract Aim To investigate the contribution of unaffected cardiomyocytes in Fabry disease cardiomyopathy. Findings Left ventricular (LV) endomyocardial biopsies from twenty-four females (mean age 53 ± 11 ys) with Fabry disease cardiomyopathy were studied. Diagnosis of FD was based on the presence of pathogenic GLA mutation, Patients were divided in four groups according with LV maximal wall thickness (MWT): group 1 MWT ≤ 10.5 mm, group 2 MWT 10.5–15 mm, group 3 MWT 16–20 mm, group 4 MWT > 20 mm. At histology mosaic of affected and unaffected cardiomyocytes was documented. Unaffected myocytes’ size ranged from normal to severe hypertrophy. Hypertrophy of unaffected cardiomyocytes correlated with severity of MWT (p < 0.0001, Sperman r 0,95). Hypertrophy of unaffected myocytes appear to concur to progression and severity of FDCM. It is likely a paracrine role from neighboring affected myocytes.

Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), a product of the NLRP3 inflammasome, modulates cardiac contractility and diastolic function. We proposed that OLT1177® (dapansutrile), a novel NLRP3 inhibitor, could preserve contractile reserve and diastolic function after myocardial infarction (MI). We used an experimental murine model of severe ischemic cardiomyopathy through the ligation of the left coronary artery without reperfusion, and after 7 days randomly assigned mice showing large anterior MI (>4 akinetic segments), increased left ventricular (LV) dimensions ([LVEDD] > 4.4 mm), and reduced function (LV ejection fraction <40%) to a diet that was enriched with OLT1177® admixed with the chow in the diet at 3.75 g/kg (Group 1 [n = 10]) or 7.5 g/kg (Group 2 [n = 9]), or a standard diet as the no-treatment control group (Group 3 [n = 10]) for 9 weeks. We measured the cardiac function and contractile reserve with an isoproterenol challenge, and the diastolic function with cardiac catheterization at 10 weeks following the MI surgery. When compared with the control (Group 3), the mice treated with OLT1177 (Group 1 and 2) showed significantly greater preservation of their contractile reserve (the percent increase in the left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] after the isoproterenol challenge was +33 ± 11% and +40 ± 6% vs. +9 ± 7% in the standard diet; p < 0.05 and p < 0.005 for Group 1 and 2, respectively) and of diastolic function measured as the lower left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (3.2 ± 0.5 mmHg or 4.5 ± 0.5 mmHg vs. 10.0 ± 1.6 mmHg; p < 0.005 and p < 0.009 respectively). No differences were noted between the resting LVEF of the MI groups. These effects were independent of the effects on the ventricular remodeling after MI. NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition with OLT1177® can preserve β-adrenergic responsiveness and prevent left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in a large non-reperfused anterior MI mouse model. OLT1177® could therefore be used to prevent the development of heart failure in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract Background Right ventricular apical pacing with the resultant left ventricular dyssynchrony often leads to depressed systolic function and heart failure. This study aimed at investigating the relation between various septal locations guided by ECG and fluoroscopy and the intermediate term functional capacity of the patients. Results Fifty patients who received a single lead pacemaker with assumed > 90% pacemaker dependency. Patients were randomized according to RV pacing site RV into group 1 “high septum” (n = 15), group 2 “mid septum” (n = 25), and group 3 “low septum” (n = 10) using QRS vector and duration as well as fluoroscopic parameters. Their clinical status was assessed 6 months after device implementation using 6-min walk test (6MWT). The study showed that paced QRS complex duration itself has no significant difference between the different septal pacing locations (P-value 0.675), although its combination with the paced QRS complex vector can signify the optimal pacing site and 6MWT showed a significant difference among the groups in favor of group 1; group 1 (413.3 ± 148.5), group 2 (359.8 ± 124.6), and group 3 (276.0 ± 98.5) P value 0.04. Conclusion There was a significant difference found between the three septal pacing sites concerning the patient functional capacity with superiority of high septal location. By contrast, different septal sites showed no significant difference of the paced QRS complex duration. To optimize the pacing site in the septum, assessment of the paced QRS vector in leads I and III is of a great benefit especially when combined with paced QRS complex duration assessment.

Introduction: Diastolic dysfunction has been characterized in relation to the relaxation and compliance properties of the left ventricle; limited information exists regarding its relationship to systolic function as assessed by deformation imaging. Objectives: To determine if there is left ventricular systolic dysfunction detected by global longitudinal strain (GLS) measured by two dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in patients with immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis with different degrees of diastolic dysfunction and normal ejection fraction (EF). Methods: Consecutive biopsy-proven AL patients with preserved EF (≥ 55%) who had a comprehensive echocardiogram performed and strain analysis were included. Cohort was divided into 5 groups according to the different grades of diastolic dysfunction: Group 0: normal filling pressures; Group 1: abnormal relaxation; Group 2: pseudo-normal pattern; Group 3: reversible restrictive; Group 4: fixed restrictive. Images were acquired and performed on a Vivid 9 from the 3 apical views, and analyzed on vendor-specific software (Echo-PAC, GE). GLS was averaged from the 16 segments, and their means compared by ANOVA and each pair with Student’s t test. Results: A total of 858 patients were included, mean age was 63.7 years ± 10.1, and 61.5% were male. From those, 205 (24%) were in group 0; 299 (35%) in group 1; 255 (30%) in group 2; 65 (7%) in group 3; and 34 in group 4 (4%). GLS means measurements were -18.95 ± 2.4, -16.86 ± 3.4, -15.60 ± 3.9, -12.31 ± 3.0, and -10.48 ± 3.3, respectively (P<0.0001). All individual GLS values were significantly different statistically when compared between each group (P<0.01 for all pairs; figure). Conclusions: Longitudinal systolic mechanical function is progressively impaired in AL amyloid patients as diastolic dysfunction progresses, despite normal EF. This systolic dysfunction provides insights into the intrinsic relationship between the components of the cardiac cycle.

Abstract Background Although regional techniques have been suggested more in order to provide postoperative analgesia in inguinal hernia repairs, the ideal method is still controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of preemptive transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block, local anesthetic infiltration (LAI) and intravenous dexketoprofen (IVD) on postoperative pain in inguinal hernia repairs. Methods This prospective study included 120 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists status 1-3 between 18-75 years of age who undergoing elective inguinal hernia surgery under spinal anesthesia. The patients were allocated into three groups: USG-guided TAP block (Group 1, n = 40), USG-guided LAI (Group 2, n = 40) and IVD (Group 3, n = 40) before surgical incision. The mean of tramadol consumption, number of patients in requiring rescue analgesics, duration of postoperative analgesia and complications were recorded for 24 hours postoperatively. VAS scores were evaluated at the 30 minute, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 24th hours. Results There was no significant difference between the postoperative mean tramadol consumption [Group 1: 22.5 mg; Group 2: 20 mg; Group 3: 27.5 (p 0.833)]. The number of patients requiring rescue analgesics was statistically similar (p 0.787). VAS scores at 30. min, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours were statistically lower in Group 1 than in the other groups (p 0.003, 007, 0013, 0049, 0015, 0021). VAS scores at 30. min and 2. h were lower in Group 1 than Group 2 (p 0.049, 0.037). İn addition, VAS scores at 30 min, 1, 2, 8 and 12 hours were lower in Group 1 than in Group 3 (p 0.003, 0.006, 0.021, 0.017, 0.016). VAS scores at all hours were statistically similar between Group 2 and Group 3. Conclusion This study demonsrated that preemptive transversus abdominis plane block, local anesthetic infiltration or iv dexketoprofen for postoperative analgesia in inguinal hernia repairs had similar effects on postoperative tramadol consumption and number of requiring rescue analgesic patients. However, TAP block provides lower VAS values and excellent analgesia in more patients in the first 24 hours postoperatively.

This study tested the hypothesis that cellular prion protein (PrPC) played an essential role in myocardial regeneration and recovery of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from apical takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) induced by transaortic constriction (TAC). In vitro study was categorized into G1 (H9C2), G2 (H9C2-overexpression-PrPC), G3 (H9C2-overexpression-PrPC + Stelazine/1 uM), and G4 (H9C2 + siRNA-PrPC), respectively. The results showed that the protein expressions of PrPC, cell-stress signaling (p-PI3K/p-Akt/p-m-TOR) and signal transduction pathway for cell proliferation/division (RAS/c-RAF/p-MEK/p-ERK1/2) were lowest in G1, highest in G2, significantly higher in G3 than in G4 (all p < 0.001). Adult-male B6 mice (n = 30) were equally categorized in group 1 (sham-control), group 2 (TAC) for 14 days, then relieved the knot and administered BrdU (50 ug/kg/intravenously/q.6.h for two times from day-14 after TAC) and group 3 (TAC + Stelazine/20 mg/kg/day since day 7 after TAC up to day 21 + BrdU administered as group 2), and animals were euthanized at day 28. The results showed that by day 28, the LVEF was significantly higher in group 1 than in groups 2/3 and significantly higher in group 3 than in group 2, whereas the LV chamber size exhibited an opposite pattern of LVEF (all p < 0.0001). The protein expressions of PrPC/p-PI3K/p-Akt/p-m-TOR/cyclin D/cyclin E and cellular-proliferation biomarkers (Ki67/PCNA/BrdU) exhibited an opposite pattern of LVEF (all p < 0.0001) among the three groups, whereas the protein expressions of RAS/c-RAF/p-MEK/p-ERK1/2 were significantly and progressively increased from groups 1 to 3 (all p < 0.0001). In conclusion, PrPC participated in regulating the intrinsic response of cell-stress signaling and myocardial regeneration but did not offer significant benefit on recovery of the heart function in the setting of TCM.

Data of echocardiographic characteristics of 59 children 10-11 years old, involved in football is presented in article. Depending on the duration of sports activities the children were divided into 3 groups: group 1 - children who play football up to 3 years (24 children), Group 2 - children who play football from 3 to 5 years (23 children), Group 3 - training duration over 5 years (12 children). It was found that the linear sizes of the heart were not significantly different in the groups studied, which may indicate that myocardial remodeling as cardiac adaptation to sporting loads takes more time. It was revealed that more trained children (group 3) have significantly higher left ventricular ejection fraction compared with group 1 (p = 0.05) and Group 2 (p = 0.0051). Keywords: athletes, children, echocardiography РезюмеО. ОникиенкоДвумерные эхокардиографические характеристики препубертатных спортсменов В статье приведены результаты ультразвукового обследования 59 детей 10-11 лет, занимающихся футболом. В зависимости от длительности занятий спортом дети были разделены на 3 группы: группа 1 – дети со стажем до 3 лет (24 ребенка), группа 2  - стаж занятий от 3 до 5 лет (23 ребенка), группа 3 – стаж занятий более 5 лет (12 детей). Установлено, что линейные размеры сердца достоверно не отличались в группах обследованных, что может свидетельствовать о более длительном процессе ремоделирования миокарда как адаптации сердца к спортивным нагрузкам. Выявлено, что у более тренированных детей (группа 3) достоверно выше фракция выброса левого желудочка по сравнению с группой 1 (p = 0.05) и с группой 2 (p = 0.0051). Ключевые слова: спортсмены, дети, эхокардиография   РезюмеО.
