Aim. To assess the indigenous small population of the Shor people in terms of the ethnic-specific development of cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors during the epidemiological studies in the Mountain Shoria. Methods. The study was carried included the indigenous and non-indigenous population of the Mountain Shoria during two different time periods: the first period (19982002) 1215 people (550 indigenous Shors and 665 non-indigenous people) and the second period (20132017) 1409 people (901 and 508, respectively). The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, arterial hypertension (AH) and ischemic heart disease (CHD) was studied. In the second period of the study, the genotype frequencies of the genes ACE (I/D, r 4340), AGT (c.803TC, rs699), AGTR1 (A1166C, rs5186), ADRB1 (c.145AG, Ser49Gly, rs1801252), ADRA2B (I/D, rs28365031), MTHFR (c.677CT, Ala222Val, rs1801133) and NOS3 (VNTR, 4b/4a) and their associations with arterial hypertension were identified. There was data on organ damage obtained among patients with high blood pressure (left ventricular myocardial hypertrophia, carotid arteries intima-media complex thickening, albumin level). Results. The first period of the studies showed that the Shors differed from the incoming population in an extremely low prevalence of lipid metabolism disorders, obesity, and an almost complete absence of diabetes mellitus. At the same time, there was a high prevalence of tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption. The second period of the studies demonstrated significant differences between different ethnic cohorts according to the genetic passport towards a more favorable profile among the indigenous people. However, the Shor people with arterial hypertension had a more severe course of hypertensive disease, defined as frequent organ damage. In addition, the profile of a patient with coronary heart disease differed depending on the place of residence, in urban or rural. Epidemiological studies contribute to the acquisition of new knowledge about different ethnic groups, their lifestyles and agricultural practices, regions of residence, and the features of candidate gene polymorphism. This provides valuable material for individualizing the prevention and treatment of diseases. Conclusion. Ethnicity makes adjustments to the patient's profile; understanding the ethnic specificity allows developing targeted preventive measures, thereby preserving the peoples health.

Introduction. The problem of high mortality from cardiovascular diseases is caused, among other things, by asymptomatic atherosclerosis, which proceeds latently for a long time and manifests itself as a serious vascular catastrophe, which is of particular importance for people working at production facilities with difficult and dangerous working conditions.The aim of the study was to assess the risk factors for atherosclerosis and the state of the vascular wall in the workers of the main professions of coal enterprises in the South of Kuzbass.Material and methods. In total, the study included 384 people (men), of whom 266 were the workers in coal mines in the South of Kuzbass and 118 people who were not employed in the coal industry, aged 40 to 55 years. The diagnosis of atherosclerosis was carried out on the ultrasound system “Vivid E9” of the manufacturing company GE using a linear sensor for measuring the thickness of the intima-media complex and visualization of atherosclerotic plaques. To identify significant risk factors, anthropometric, anamnestic data, indices of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, and the presence of arterial hypertension were studied.Results. Significant differences in the frequency of asymptomatic atherosclerosis in the form of an increase in intima-media thickness by more than 1 mm and / or the presence of atherosclerotic plaques in both groups were not found: 60.2% among the miners and 62.3% among non-coal mining workers (p=0.703); at the same time, the percentage of detection of atherosclerotic plaques in arteries was significantly lower among coal workers — 46.9% versus 60.5% among people in the comparison group (p=0.016). The common risk factors for all examined subjects were arterial hypertension and increased level of glycated hemoglobin; in turn, in coal miners additional risk factors were increased values of low density lipoproteins and waist-hip index, as well as burdened heredity for cardiovascular diseases, and among the individuals not employed in the coal industry it was smoking.Conclusions. The most significant risk factors for atherosclerosis in coal industry workers were arterial hypertension, raised values of glycated hemoglobin, low density lipoproteins and waist-hip index, as well as burdened heredity for cardiovascular diseases. Significant differences in the frequency of asymptomatic atherosclerosis in the form of an increase in the thickness of the intima-media complex of the main arteries and the presence of atherosclerotic plaques in both groups were not established, but the percentage of the detection of atherosclerotic plaques was lower among coal miners.The authors declare no conflict of interests.

Particulate Matter Exposure

Air pollution has a great impact on health, representing one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Previous experimental and epidemiological studies suggested the role of pollutants as risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. For this reason, international guidelines included specific statements regarding the contribution of particulate matter exposure to increase the risk of these events. In this review, we summarise the main evidence concerning the mechanisms involved in the processes linking air pollutants to the development of cardiovascular diseases.

With widespread antiretroviral therapy (ART) accessibility and uptake, HIV has transitioned in many ways to a chronic condition marked by heightened risks of non-communicable diseases. Several clinical and epidemiological studies over the past two decades have demonstrated elevated risks for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) among people with HIV. These risks appear to be particularly elevated among people with histories of long periods of uncontrolled viremia and CD4 lymphopenia, and dovetail with traditional risk factors (such as smoking) that are common among people with HIV. This chapter presents a discussion of the evolving epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and putative mechanisms of CVDs among people with HIV.

Aims.Although associations between various somatic diseases and depression are well established, findings concerning the role of gender and anxiety disorders for these associations remain fragmented and partly inconsistent. Combining data from three large-scaled epidemiological studies in primary care, we aim to investigate interactions of somatic diseases with gender and anxiety disorders in the association with depression.Methods.Self-reported depression according to the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Edition (ICD-10) was assessed in n = 83 737 patients from three independent studies [DETECT (Diabetes Cardiovascular Risk Evaluation: Targets and Essential Data for Commitment of Treatment), Depression-2000 and Generalized Anxiety and Depression in Primary Care (GAD-P)] using the Depression Screening Questionnaire (DSQ). Diagnoses of depression, anxiety disorders and somatic diseases were obtained from treating physicians via standardised clinical appraisal forms.Results.In logistic regressions, adjusted for gender, age group and study, each somatic disease except for arterial hypertension and endocrine diseases was associated with self-reported depression (odds ratio, OR 1.3–2.6) and each somatic disease was associated with physician-diagnosed depression (OR 1.1–2.4). Most of these associations remained significant after additional adjustment for anxiety disorders and other somatic diseases. The associations with depression increased with a higher number of somatic diseases. Cardiovascular diseases (OR 0.8), diabetes mellitus (OR 0.8) and neurological diseases (OR 0.8) interacted with gender in the association with self-reported depression, while endocrine diseases (OR 0.8) interacted with gender in the association with physician-diagnosed depression. That is, the associations between respective somatic diseases and depression were less pronounced in females v. males. Moreover, cardiovascular diseases (OR 0.7), arterial hypertension (OR 0.8), gastrointestinal diseases (OR 0.7) and neurological diseases (OR 0.6) interacted with anxiety disorders in the association with self-reported depression, and each somatic disease interacted with anxiety disorders in the association with physician-diagnosed depression (OR 0.6–0.8). That is, the associations between respective somatic diseases and depression were less pronounced in patients with v. without anxiety disorders; arterial hypertension was negatively associated with self-reported depression only in patients with anxiety disorders, but not in patients without anxiety disorders.Conclusions.A range of somatic diseases as well as anxiety disorders are linked to depression – and especially patients with co-/multi-morbidity are affected. However, interactions with gender and anxiety disorders are noteworthy and of relevance to potentially improve recognition and treatment of depression by physicians. Somatic diseases are associated more strongly with depression in males v. females as well as in patients without v. with anxiety disorders, primarily because women and patients with anxiety disorders per se are characterised by considerably increased depression prevalence that only marginally changes in the presence of somatic comorbidity.

Aim. Identification of risk factors (RF) for myocardial infarction (MI) among women with preserved menstrual function. Material and Methods. 121 Female patients under 55 years of age, who were hospitalized with MI in the cardiology departments of Ryazan in the period 2010-2016, were studied. All patients were divided into 2 groups. The first group included women with a regular menstrual cycle without menopausal symptoms (n=60, mean age 48.0±6.1 years). The second group consisted of postmenopausal women (n=61, mean age 49.8±4.3 years). Of a cohort of studied  women a group of women was isolated (n=18 from group 1 and n=15 from group 2) who, during hospitalization with MI in 2015-2016, filled in questionnaires on nutrition and physical activity. Results. In women of group 1 such risk factors as burdened heredity for cardiovascular diseases (58.3%, p=0.02) and smoking (46.7%, p=0.03) were more common than in women of group 2. Only women of group 1 took oral contraceptives before the onset of MI (15%, p=0.005). The most common RFs were: arterial hypertension (˃80% of patients in both groups; overweight and obesity (78.3% of women from group 1 and 83.6% from group 2); type 2 diabetes mellitus  (23.3% in group 1 and 24.6% in group 2). According to the results of the questionnaire on food habits, insufficient use of fruit and vegetables was detected among all patients of both groups. In analysis of the results of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), 72.2% of patients in group 1 experienced insufficient physical activity, and 53.3% of patients in group 2 showed pronounced hypodynamia. Biochemical analysis of blood revealed increased average levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins and triglycerides, with high-density lipoproteins within the normal range in both groups. Conclusion. The most common risk factors for myocardial infarction in women with preserved menstrual function in comparison with postmenopausal women were: positive heredity for cardiovascular diseases, smoking and taking oral contraceptives. Besides, a wide spread of arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus, overweight and obesity, low physical activity and lack of fruit and vegetables in the diet of women in both groups should be noted.

Purpose of the study. To study frequency of occurrence and values ofparameters of the main risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in patients with hypertension in combination with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Material and methods. The analysis of 17,202 medical cards of patients (6,730 men, 10,472 women), which were examined and treated in the clinic of the Scientific Research Institute of Experimental and Clinical Medicine, Novosibirsk, was carried out. Of them - 3,087patients with arterial hypertension (AH), combined with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (main group); 13,384 patients with isolated arterial hypertension; 731 patients with NAFLD (comparison groups). According to the clinical and laboratory examination, the following risk factors were assessed: high blood pressure, obesity, elevated blood levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, uric acid, a low content of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the blood. Results. In patients with hypertension combined with NAFLD, in comparison with patients with isolated diseases, an increase in the values of the indices determining the main modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, obesity, hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, hyperuricemia) was revealed. Similar changes were detected in both men and women. Conclusion. An important role of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, which together represent the clinical manifestations of the metabolic syndrome, has been identified in the development of comorbid pathology - AH and NAFLD. The data obtained indicate the need for differentiated, personified prevention and treatment of patients with this comorbid pathology with mandatory identification and correction of modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.

Aim.To study interrelationship between cardiovascular risk factors and cellular and vascular aging processes. Material and methods. Totally 136 patients were included having no signs of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes 2nd type and receiving no drug therapy, but with one or several risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (smoking, arterial hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, fasting hyperglycemia). The telomere length and telomerase activity was measured by polymerase chain reaction. The thickness of intima-media complex (TIMC) and presence of atherosclerotic plaques (ASP) were measured by duplex scanning of right and left carotid arteries. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured by applanation tonometry. Biochemical tests done by standard.Results.PWV significantly correlated with age, body mass index, glycosilated hemoglobin level, fasting glycemia and telomere length. Presence of ASP and increased TIMC significantly correlated with age, body mass index, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia.Conclusion.Increase of arterial wall stiffness and subclinical atherosclerotic disease have different causes. The level of PWV more linked with carbohydrate metabolism disorder, and TIMC and ASP are linked with lipid disorders.
