BACKGROUND. The relevance of identifying new biomarkers of the cardio-renal syndrome in patients with coronary heart disease is beyond doubt. It is promising to study the indicators of tubular dysfunctions as predictors of the risk of cardiovascular complications in patients without primary kidney pathology.THE AIM. Analysis of the effect of β2-microglobulinuria on the prognosis of cardiovascular complications in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease in the long-term period after myocardial revascularization.PATIENTS AND METHODS. The study included 90 patients with coronary artery disease and indications for myocardial revascularization. Coronary bypass surgery was performed in 64 people, coronary artery stenting - in 26. Clinical and anamnestic data were collected in all patients, standard laboratory and instrumental diagnostics were performed. In addition, the level of β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) in the first morning portion of urine was determined at different study dates. The endpoint was considered to be the presence of acute forms of coronary heart disease - myocardial infarction and unstable angina. Survival after 5.8 ±0.1 years after myocardial revascularization was 69 %.RESULTS. A positive linear relationship of weak strength was established between the level of diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and β2-MG of urine obtained before myocardial revascularization (r = 0.28, p = 0.03). Moreover, the Kaplan-Meyer survival analysis showed the effect of an increase in β2-MG of urine over 0.2 ng/ml on the risk of AMI in the long-term period after myocardial revascularization (p = 0.025). It was found that an increase in the concentration of β2-MG in urine determined before myocardial revascularization is a statistically significant risk factor for the development of unstable angina in the long-term period after RM (χ2-criterion = 7.17, p = 0.007).CONCLUSION. It has been shown that an increase in the concentration of β2-MG in urine, reflecting the presence of tubular dysfunctions, can be considered as a predictor of an unfavorable cardiovascular prognosis in patients in the long-term period after myocardial revascularization.

The analysis of epidemiological data shows that the prevalence of GERD in Ukraine is 11.1. Prevalence of GERD increases with the age of respondents, which leads to changes in the structure of clinical disease and dominance of extraesophageal manifestations of disease. The objective: To study features of arterial hypertension (AH) combined with chronic coronary heart disease (CHD) in patients with GERD. Establish a connection presence of gastroesophageal reflux with possible clinical manifestations of coronary heart disease (arrhythmias, ischemic episodes according to the daily ECG monitoring, assessment of the severity of pain in the chest), and parameters of blood pressure and its lability. Patients and methods. As part of the fragment study examined 50 patients with hypertension I–II art. combined with chronic ischemic heart disease. Methods of examination: antopometric, biochemical blood tests, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Holter ECG, upper endoscopy, echocardiography, tests on a scale GerdQ. Results. Comorbidity of hypertension and chronic ischemic heart disease and GERD is associated with a higher frequency of abdominal type of obesity and metabolic syndrome, which increases the level of cardiovascular risk in patients with GERD. The presence of gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients with hypertension with chronic coronary artery disease causes an increase in the frequency and severity of arrhythmias. Patients on the background of GERD is more common atrial fibrillation (AF). When concomitant GERD in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease was significantly greater frequency and duration of ischemic episodes. Comorbidity with GERD worsens hypertension and characterized by higher rates of SBP and DBP at night and high variability in SBP and DBP during the day. Conclusion. The presence of GERD in patients with hypertension and chronic ischemic heart disease is associated with more severe clinical manifestations of the underlying disease and can therefore be regarded as complicating CHD- and AH-factor.

Introduction: The rates of occurrence, predictors, and associated outcomes of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) following endovascular treatment are not well studied. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from the Interventional Management of Stroke Trial (IMS III). This prospective trial randomized patients to intravenous (IV) rt-PA alone versus IV rt-PA followed by endovascular intervention. All patients underwent computed tomography (CT) at 24 hours post randomization. The scans were assessed by independent reviewers at a core laboratory for the presence, location, and type of intracranial hemorrhage.The primary outcome assessment was by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 3 months. Results: Thirty four out of 434 (7.8%) patients who received endovascular treatment suffered SAH at 24 hours. There were 19 men (55.9%), and 19 patients were older than 70 years.In univariate analysis only pre-existing ischemic heart disease was identified as a predictor of SAH (p=0.03) while patient age was borderline significant (p=0.055). Three-monthmRS score was available for 24/34 patients with SAH and for 318/400 among the other patients. There was no difference in mortality (12.5% vs. 4.1%, p=0.167) or favorable outcome defined as mRS =<2 (41.7% vs. 53.5%, p=0.366). Conclusions: SAH following endovascular intervention for acute stroke is more common among patients with history of ischemic heart disease. It does not impact on functional outcome or mortality at 3 months.

Magnesium (Mg) and potassium (K) are the major intracellular cations whose presence in the serum are low, but minor changes of those may show a remarkable change in the various body functions specially in the heart. The study was designed to find out the correlation between serum Mg and K in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), chronic ischemic heart disease (CIHD) and normal healthy volunteers. It was carried out over a period of 18 months in the Department of Biochemistry, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) in collaboration with Department of Cardiology, Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital (SSMC & MH) and Atomic Energy Center, Dhaka. A total of 101 subjects were included in which 32 subjects were AMI, 34 CIHD and 35 normal healthy volunteers. Serum glucose and serum creatinine were estimated to exclude diabetes and renal dystrophies. Estimation of serum CK-MB and ECG tracing were done as diagnostic tools of AMI and to categories the subjects into various groups. Serum Mg was estimated by Atomic absorption spectrophotometer and serum K by Ion sensitive electrode. The present study shows that there is a strong positive correlation of serum Mg and K in AMI, CIHD and healthy control subjects (r = 0.566, p<0.01 level). So it is suggested to estimate and supplement both Mg and K in IHD patients for their better management. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjmb.v3i2.13812 Bangladesh J Med Biochem 2010; 3(2): 50-56
