Objective: to assess the prospects of using genetic testing for early detection of patients with arterial hypertension (AH) with a high risk of developing coronary heart disease (IHD).Material and methods: we examined 100 patients with hypertension, who were divided into 2 groups: patients with hypertension without ischemic heart disease (62%, 62 people) and patients with hypertension with ischemic heart disease (38%, 38 people). All patients underwent a standard volume of diagnostic procedures, as well as molecular genetic research. Results: the specificity of the carriage of gene polymorphism was revealed, depending on the presence of isolated AH or AH in combination with IHD in patients. Patients with AH and IHD are characterized by the presence of the CC genotype and the C allele of the ΝΟS3 gene (p = 0,040 and p = 0,035), while the TT genotype of the T‑786C polymorphic marker of the NOS3 gene is characteristic of patients with isolated AH. Conclusion: the study of the genetic aspects of comorbidity is theoretically important for understanding the mechanisms of its formation. From a practical point of view, the opportunity to use modern genetic approaches for early screening of hypertensive patients with a high risk of developing cardiac comorbid pathology is valuable.

Introduction: The relationship between abnormal thyroid function and coronary heart disease has been known for a long time, and particularly, hypothyroidism is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ischemic risk by using the Duke score in women with ischemic heart disease and associated hypothyroidism before inclusion in cardiovascular rehabilitation program. Materials and methods: We included in the study 150 female patients admitted to the Cardiology Department of the Clinical Rehabilitation Hospital Cluj-Napoca. All the patients included had ischemic heart disease and performed an exercise stress testing to evaluate the effort capacity and also to stratify the ischemic risk by calculating the Duke Score. After dosing the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) we divided the patients in two groups: with hypothyroidism and a control group. Results: Patients with hypothyroidism were more frequently hypertensive, (98% vs 87%, p-0.035), and they had diabetes mellitus in a higher proportion (51% vs 22%, p-0.005). HDL cholesterol was significantly decreased in the group of patients with hypothyroidism: 40.36±10.39mg/dl vs 44.85±10.29mg/dl (p-0.01). Regarding the ischemic risk assessed by the Duke score, the statistically significant differences between the two groups were registered only for the category of high-risk patients, 5.55% vs 18% (p-0.048). Also, the TSH value was higher in the group with high-risk Duke score, 4.21±3.73µIU/ml, compared to the moderate-risk score group, 1.95±1.12µIU/ml(p-0.05). Conclusion: In women with ischemic heart disease, assessing thyroid function can be useful to identify patients at high risk of ischemia. Patients with hypothyroidism tend to have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, a higher ischemic risk objectified by the Duke score and more commonly multivascular coronary lesions. For these patients, the inclusion in cardiovascular rehabilitation programs is essential, but it is very important that the programs to be customized for each patient. Keywords: coronary heart disease in women, exercise ECG, Duke score, ischemic risk, hypothyroidism, cardiovascular rehabilitation programs

The objective is to investigate the influence of stress on the clinical and pathogenetic peculiarities of the course of stable coronary heart disease (SIHD) in conjunction with atrial fibrillation (AF). Materials and methods. The analysis of psychodiagnostic tests, labolatory and instrumental research methods in patients with and without AF has been performed. Patients were divided into three groups: group 1 – patients with stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD) with a constant form of AF (15 patients were examined), group 2 – patients with SIHD with paroxysmal form of AF (16 patients were examined), group 3 – patients with SIHD without AF (15 patients were examined). Results. According to the analysis of the data obtained, low level of stress was found in 6 (37.50%) patients with a permanent form of AF, whereas in patients without AF, it was observed in 1 (6.67%) person (p1<0.05) (p1 – the reliability of the differences in indicators relative to patients without AF). Moderate somatic disorder in women with paroxysmal AF was significantly higher than in the group of patients with a constant form of AF (p2<0.05) (p2 – the reliability of the differences in the indicators relative to patients with a constant form of AF). It is confirmed in patients with AF there are signs of the average stress level on the perceived stress level-10 (p2<0.05). Among the social factors that may have an impact on health are the influence of the media, the use of alcohol by relatives, the threat of unemployment for relatives and friends. These indicators were most often found in the group of patients with AF rather than without it (p2<0.05). Changes of ECG and echocardiographic parameters in all groups of patients were revealed. Conclusion. The association of stress with stable ischemic heart disease combined with atrial fibrillation has shown that stress disorders are associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation and may worsen their course and predict the risk of developing paroxysm. The dependence between the severity of clinical manifestations, psychodiagnostic tests, laboratory methods, ECG and echocardiographic parameters of the heart on the course of atrial fibrillation is proved.

The diagnosis of stable ischemic heart disease begins with a careful clinical examination of the patient and non-invasive testing to identify the disease. Patients with very low and very high pretest probability should not undergo various non-invasive tests. Various non-invasive tests are available to assess the presence of coronary heart disease in patients with an intermediate probability of ischemic heart disease (15–65%). The combination of anatomical with functional non-invasive tests helps improve diagnostic capabili of the disease.
