The purpose of this study was to give a comparative characteristics of the prevalence of polymorphic alleles in the genes of the hemostatic system (PAI-1 (- 675 5G / 4G) and FGB (- 455 G / A)) in patients with sudden cardiac death and acute coronary syndrome in patients undergoing coronary artery stenting. Material and methods. Genetic typing of biological material (BM) was performed for the prevalence of polymorphic alleles in two genes of the hemostasis system. BM was selected from people with a diagnosis of coronary artery disease, divided into three comparison groups: I - suddenly deceased citizens with a diagnosis of coronary artery disease, II - patients with ACS who underwent urgent coronary artery stenting, III - patients with a chronic form of coronary artery disease endovascular surgery was performed as planned. Results and discussion. The calculated criterion 2 of the prevalence of polymorphisms in the FGB (- 455 G / A) and PAI-1 (- 675 5G / 4G) genes turned out to be more than the critical (tabular) value, which indicates the existing relationship between the presence of IHD and the carriage of one of polymorphic alleles. Based on the same data, the 2 criterion was calculated without taking into account data for a group of healthy citizens. For carriers of the polymorphic allele of the FGB gene (- 455 G / A), no statistically significant differences were found. For carriers of the PAI-1 gene polymorphic allele (- 675 5G / 4G), statistically significant differences were found. Conclusions. ACS with a favorable outcome (subject to emergency surgical intervention) occurs at an earlier age compared to suddenly dead citizens diagnosed with coronary artery disease. The presence of a mutant allele in the PAI-1 gene (- 675 5G / 4G) requires further studies in order to expertly assess the death rate in patients after surgery with coronary stenting.

Background. Inflammatory cytokines and growth factors are involved in various mechanisms of coronary artery disease. Clinical studies have shown the correlation between the increase in the level of proinflammatory cytokines and the severity of coronary artery disease, while the data on the role of proinflammatory interleukin IL-8 and anti-inflammatory interleukin IL-4 are contradictory. The aim of the study is to assess the levels of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-8, TNF-) and anti-inflammatory interleukin (IL-4) in patients with various forms of coronary artery disease who underwent coronary artery stenting. Materials and methods. By the method of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the levels of cytokines were determined in 30 patients with acute coronary syndrome who underwent primary stenting of the coronary arteries and in 24 patients with chronic coronary syndrome who had previously had myocardial infarction with stenting of an infarction-associated artery, who were admitted to the clinic for staged stenting of the coronary arteries. Results. In patients with chronic coronary syndrome the levels of IL-4 a do not exceed the reference values, in patients with acute coronary syndrome the levels of IL-4 there was an increase 3,70 0,24 and 240,85 49,25 pg/ml, р 0,001. In patients with chronic coronary syndrome the levels of IL-8 a do not exceed the reference values, in patients with acute coronary syndrome the levels of IL-8 there was an increase 7,34 1,29 and 110,33 27,67 pg/ml, р 0,001. Conclusion. Most likely the increase in the level of IL-4 has a compensatory character and, along with a slight increase in TNF-, can be considered as a positive factor stabilizing the course of the disease. There may be some relationship between of the increase in the level of interleukins in patients with acute coronary syndrome on the degree of stenosis of the coronary arteries (9095%) and impaired myocardial contractility was established.

Background: Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin has its receptor present in myriad of tissues and it modulates multiple cellular processes. Vitamin D deficiency is reported to be associated with coronary artery disease. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Aims and Objective: The primary outcome was to investigate if there is a correlation of 25-OH levels with the percentage of luminal stenosis, as measured with coronary angiogram. The secondary outcome was to determine the differences in angiographically proven luminal stenosis across categories of 25-OH vitamin D levels. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with acute coronary syndrome with diabetes mellitus were included in this cross-sectional descriptive study. All patients were tested for fasting vitamin D levels, fasting blood sugar, HbA1C and serum creatinine. Detailed history of the patients was recorded. Data was analyzed by the statistical software SPSS version 19 and p value <0.05 was considered significant. Statistical tests like Chi- square, independent t test and log regression was used. Results: In this study 30 patients undergoing coronary angiography for acute coronary syndrome, Vitamin D levels showed severe deficiency in 6.7% (2) cases while mild deficiency was seen in 50% of the cases. Patients with single vessel disease on the coronary angiogram had lower mean HbA1C (9.18) levels in our study. Patients with triple vessel disease had poorly controlled mean HbA1C levels (10.42). Conclusion: In this study we did not find any significant difference between the serum Vitamin D deficiency levels with patients with angiographic severity of the coronary artery disease. Patients with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus had more severe angiographic proven coronary artery disease.

The pathophysiology of accelerated atherosclerosis in people living with Human Immunofediciency virus (HIV) is complex. Coronary artery disease (CAD) has become an important cause of mortality in these patients. They often have atypical symptoms, leading to frequently missed diagnoses. We report a case of a 51-year-old male undergoing antiretroviral therapy who was admitted for acute coronary syndrome. He had severe coronary artery disease that involved difficult management.
