Aim. To determine the features of microcirculatory dysfunction and in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease, depending on the presence of concomitant diffuse liver disease. Materials and methods. We performed a prospective study on the basis of MC «Doctor Vera», as well as in the diagnostic department of Medbud Clinic between 2009 and 2019. A total of 187 patients were examined. Patients' blood flow was assessed by transthoracic echocardiography, wavelet analysis laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF). Results. In the analysis of indicators of microcirculatory dysfunction in patients with ischemic heart disease, statistically significant deterioration of wavelet analysis laser Doppler flowmetry was determined. In patients with ischemic heart disease and left ventricular ejection fraction < 40 %, indicators of wavelet analysis LDF were significantly lower. We also found that the severity of diffuse liver disease significantly disrupts peripheral blood flow (Р < 0.05). Conclusions. The results of intracardiac hemodynamics, microcirculatory dysfunction were first presented. In patients with isolated ischemic heart disease as the left ventricular EF decreased, a significant decrease in capillary blood flow was observed as a result of deterioration of central hemodynamics, development of atherosclerotic vascular changes, as well as an increase in their vascular tone. We have proved that in the presence of DLD in patients with ischemic heart disease and EF < 40 %, the degree of increase in peripheral resistance and impaired venous outflow were more pronounced due to the depletion of vasoactive substances production, impaired their excretion by hepatocytes due to irreversible morpho-functional changes in liver at the stage of decompensation of HF, severe fibrosis, the formation of regeneration nodes. In patients with LC, the most severe disorders of peripheral blood flow were determined according to the data of the digital capillaroscopy, which testifies to the influence of the degree of liver damage on the state of microcirculation.

Background: Background. The anatomical features of the coronary circulation show some interesting data which have been obtained by both in vivo and postmortem studies. Methods: This editorial describes the morphology and main alterations of coronary arteries, which supply blood flow to heart muscle, observed in the ischemic heart disease. Results : The great majority of myocardial muscle is under the control of the left coronary arteries: the left main coronary artery and its branches, the left anterior descending artery, and circumflex artery, which provide several arterial vessels particularly to the left anterior ventricular wall, interventricular septum and apex of the heart. Therefore, a large portion of the posterior left ventricular wall is supplied by left coronary circulation. The right coronary artery supplies blood flow to the posterior wall of the heart and the right atrium. Coronary anastomoses have been demonstrated into the myocardium showing that coronary arteries widely communicate among themselves. The main lesions of the coronary tree in subjects suffering from ischemic heart disease are related to coronary atherosclerosis. Conclusion: Morphology of coronary arteries is strongly influenced by ischemic pathology of the heart.

<p><b>Background:</b> The aim of the present study was to investigate the cardioprotective effects of the perioperative use of N(2)-L-alanyl-L-glutamine (GLN) in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) who undergo their operations under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).</p><p><b>Methods:</b> This double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study included 50 patients who underwent cardiac surgery with CPB. Exclusion criteria were a left ventricular ejection fraction <50%, diabetes mellitus, <3 months since the onset of myocardial infarction, and emergency surgery. Patients in the study group (n = 25) received 0.4 g/kg GLN (Dipeptiven, 20% solution) per day. Patients in the control group (n = 25) were administered a placebo (0.9% NaCl). The primary end point was the dynamics of troponin I at the following stages: (1) prior to anesthesia, (2) 30 minutes after CPB, (3) 6 hours after CPB, (4) 24 hours after surgery, and (5) 48 hours after surgery. Secondary end points included measurements of hemodynamics with a Swan-Ganz catheter.</p><p><b>Results:</b> On the first postoperative day after the surgery, the median troponin I level was significantly lower in the study group than in the placebo group: 1.280 ng/mL (interquartile range [IQR], 0.840-2.230 ng/mL) versus 2.410 ng/mL (IQR, 1.060-6.600 ng/mL) (<i>P</i> = .035). At 4 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), the median cardiac index was higher in the patients in the study group: 2.58 L/min per m<sup>2</sup> (IQR, 2.34-2.91 L/min per m<sup>2</sup>) versus 2.03 L/min per m<sup>2</sup> (IQR, 1.76-2.32 L/min per m<sup>2</sup>) (<i>P</i> = .002). The median stroke index also was higher in the patients who received GLN: 32.8 mL/m<sup>2</sup> (IQR, 27.8-36.0 mL/m<sup>2</sup>) versus 26.1 mL/m<sup>2</sup> (IQR, 22.6-31.8 mL/m<sup>2</sup>) (<i>P</i> = .023). The median systemic vascular resistance index was significantly lower in the study group than in the placebo group: 1942 dyn�s/cm<sup>5</sup> per m<sup>2</sup> (IQR, 1828-2209 dyn�s/cm<sup>5</sup> per m<sup>2</sup>) versus 2456 dyn�s/cm<sup>5</sup> per m<sup>2</sup> (IQR, 2400-3265 dyn�s/cm<sup>5</sup> per m<sup>2</sup>) (<i>P</i> = .001).</p><p><b>Conclusion:</b> Perioperative administration of GLN during the first 24 hours has cardioprotective effects in IHD patients following CPB. This technique enhances the troponin concentration at 24 hours after surgery and is associated with improved myocardial function.</p>

Relevance. Morpho-functional changes in peripheral circulation established in type 1 diabetes mellitus correlate with changes in central hemodynamics, allowing the use of microcirculation indicators as diagnostic and prognostic criteria for assessing the degree of functional vascular disorders. Identifcation of microcirculation features of the blood by the method of laser Doppler flowmetry in children with different experience of type 1 diabetes in key age categories.Materials and methods. The study included 67 children with type 1 diabetes mellitus aged 12-15 years with an experience of the disease from six months to ten years. The comparison group consisted of 38 healthy children. The state of the microvasculature was assessed by laser Doppler flowmetry using a laser analyzer for capillary blood flow LAKK-OP.Results. In children with an experience of type 1 diabetes of less than two years, microcirculation disorders in periodontal tissues correspond to the hyperemic form, accompanied by increased perfusion, a decrease in the amplitude of low-frequency oscillations, increased heart rate, high blood flling, and blood flow bypass. For children with an endocrinopathy experience of more than three years, microcirculation disorders correspond to a stagnant form, combined with a decrease in perfusion due to stagnation of blood in the venular link, endothelial domination with suppression of neurogenic and cardiac fluctuations, low efciency and redistribution of blood flow in favor of the nutritive link.Conclusions. With the increase in experience, the degree of compensation of type 1 diabetes, the progression of diabetic microangiopathy, it is advisable to designate two stages of development of microcirculatory disorders. Early – compensatory with active adaptation, including neurogenic and endothelial regulation mechanisms. Late – decompensation with passive adaptation, supporting the effectiveness of microcirculation due to myogenic control of regulation, shunting and increasing the rate of blood outflow.

Objective: To determine pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) by echocardiography - Doppler and to find correlation between pulmonary vascular resistance with left ventricular EF, PAPs, TAPSE, tissue S-wave of the tricuspid valve in patients with ischemic heart disease. Subjects and Methods: We studied on 82 patients with ischemic heart disease and EF<40% including 36 females, 46 males. Patients were estimated for pulmonary vascular resistance, EF, PAPs, TAPSE, tissue S-wave of the tricuspid valve by echocardiographyDoppler. Results: 64.6% of patients are increased PVR, average of PVR is 3.91 ± 1.85 Wood units and it is increasing with NYHA severity. There are negative correlations between pulmonary vascular resistance with left ventricular ejection fraction (r = - 0.545; p <0.001), TAPSE index (r= -0.590; p <0.001) and tissue S-wave of the tricuspid valve (r = -0.420; p <0.001); positive correlation with systolic pulmonary artery pressure (r = 0.361, p = 0.001), Conclusions: Increased PVR is the primary mechanism for pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure in patients with left heart disease. Determination of PVR in patients with left ventricular dysfunction by echocardiography is important in clinical practice.
