The aim – to develop a personalized scheme of fentanyl administrationfor coronary artery stenting. Materials and methods. Ninety patients with ischemic heart disease who underwent planned stenting of the coronary arteries were studied. The patients who underwent surgery were evenly divided into three study groups, depending on mode of the intraoperative analgesic sedation and the approaches to anesthesia. The first comparison group consisted of patients who received slow intravenous administration of diazepam and fentanyl solutions. The second comparison group consisted of patients with balanced administration of fentanyl and propofol solutions to provide analgesic sedation at the level of conscious anesthesia. The study group consisted of patients with a personalized approach to the administration of opiates, namely, we used the original fentanyl test described in the article. Analgesic sedation at the level of conscious anesthesia (ІІІ by Ramsey) was maintained by propofol infusion. Results. The usage of a personalized scheme of fentanyl administration for stenting of the coronary arteries, compared to the standard sedation using combination of diazepam and fentanyl, was accompanied by better indicators of intraoperative blood saturation with oxygen and carbon dioxide (respectively (103.67 ± 22.05) and (39.64 ± 6.85) mm Hg in group 1, (105.70 ± 31.64) and (37.68 ± 7.11) in group 2 and (109.42 ± 34.36) and (36.25 ± 6.52) mm Hg in patients of the 3rd group), lower blood pressure after surgery ((127.85 ± 9.87)/(79.64 ± 8.62) mm Hg in patients of group 1, (129.48 ± 8.73)/(81.05 ± 7.92) mm Hg in group 2 and (131.15 ± 10.64)/(82.68 ± 9.72) mm Hg in group 3), lower level of stress markers (blood cortisol during surgery in patients of the 1st group (8.83 ± 4.58) mmol/L, in patients of the 2nd group – (7.73 ± 2.79) mmol/L, in patients of the 3rd group – (7.55 ± 4.35) mmol/L), as well as lower frequency of detecting episodes of perioperative pain of various origins. Conclusions. A method of personalized anesthesia was elaborated, based on individual scheme of fentanyl administration («fentanyl test») during coronary artery stenting. Its usage is safe (due to the optimal parameters of gas exchange and hemodynamics and fewer side effects, such as nausea and residual sedation) and effective (due to the lower level of stress markers and less frequent complaints of pain of various origins) than when the routine technique was used. Key words: analgesic sedation, individual sensitivity, fentanyl, diazepam, propofol.

Aim. To compare strategy and early results of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with and without calcification of target coronary arteries (TCA).Material and methods. The prospective study analyzed the data of patients (n=462) who underwent elective isolated CABG in 2017-2018 using cardiopulmonary bypass and microsurgery. Two groups were distinguished: group 1 — patients with TCA calcification (n=108), group 2 — patients without TCA calcification (n=354). In cases where the distal coronary artery lesion did not allow standard bypass grafting, additional complex anastomoses were provided. A comparison of intraoperative parameters and early results of CABG was carried out.Results. In groups 1 and 2, the revascularization index did not differ significantly and was 4,5 and 4,3, respectively. The frequency of complex surgical interventions in group 1 was higher: for example, ‘Y’ grafts were used in groups 1 and 2, respectively, in 32% (35/108) and 12% (44/354), p<0,05; sequential anastomoses in 14% (15/108) and 7% (26/354), p<0,05; prolonged patch-angioplasty — in 21% (23/108) and 5% (16/354), p<0,05; anastomoses with arteries <1,5 mm in diameter — in 33% (36/108) and 4% (14/354), p<0,05; coronary endarterectomy in 17% (18/108) and 5% (16/354), p<0,05, respectively. The duration of cardiopulmonary bypass was longer in group 1. At the same time, the hospital clinical results did not differ significantly: mortality was not registered; the frequency of perioperative myocardial infarction was 1,8% (group 1) and 1,1% (group 2); the need for inotropes, frequency of arrhythmia, length of stay in the intensive care unit and hospital were similar; there were no cases of in-hospital angina recurrence.Conclusion. CABG in patients with calcification of TCA is associated with surgical challenges and need for complex adjunct techniques. Nevertheless, complete surgical revascularization is real in these cases, and the hospital results are comparable to those in patients without calcification.

Background Using the hybrid electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated computed tomography (CT) technique, assessment of entire aorta, coronary arteries, and aortic valve can be possible using single-bolus contrast administration within a single acquisition. Purpose To compare the image quality of hybrid ECG-gated and non-gated CT angiography of the aorta and evaluate the effect of a motion correction algorithm (MCA) on coronary artery image quality in a hybrid ECG-gated aorta CT group. Material and Methods In total, 104 patients (76 men; mean age = 65.8 years) prospectively randomized into two groups (Group 1 = hybrid ECG-gated CT; Group 2 = non-gated CT) underwent wide-detector array aorta CT. Image quality, assessed using a four-point scale, was compared between the groups. Coronary artery image quality was compared between the conventional reconstruction and motion correction reconstruction subgroups in Group 1. Results Group 1 showed significant advantages over Group 2 in aortic wall, cardiac chamber, aortic valve, coronary ostia, and main coronary arteries image quality (all P < 0.001). All Group 1 patients had diagnostic image quality of the aortic wall and left ostium. The MCA significantly improved the image quality of the three main coronary arteries ( P < 0.05). Moreover, per-vessel interpretability improved from 92.3% to 97.1% with the MCA ( P = 0.013). Conclusion Hybrid ECG-gated CT significantly improved the heart and aortic wall image quality and the MCA can further improve the image quality and interpretability of coronary arteries.

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of high intensity prehabilitation included in the routine preoperative management of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) for elective on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods 38 male patients with stable CAD referred to on-pump CABG who either underwent prehabilitation or not were assigned into two study groups. Group 1 patients (n=20, the mean age 61.5 years [55; 64] underwent high intensity treadmill exercises. Group 2 patients (n=18, the mean age 62.0 years [56; 65]) underwent routine preoperative management without prehabilitation. Treadmill exercises in Group 1 patients were performed under hemodynamic control and ECG monitoring. The training power of a workout was calculated based on cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) performed before preoperative exercises, and was estimated as 80% of the maximal power obtained during the exercise test. Adenosine loading single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was used to measure the parameters of myocardial perfusion before preoperative exercises and on days 5–7 after CABG in both study groups. Biochemical markers of myocardial damage (troponin I, NT-proBNP) were measured before the training session, after it and then in the postoperative period to assess the safety of the prehabilitation program. In-hospital postoperative complications were recorded and analyzed. Results Both study groups were comparable in the main clinical and demographic parameters, intraoperative clinical parameters as well as in preoperative CPET and SPECT results. There were no cases of complications during prehabilitation. The analysis of myocardial perfusion parameters demonstrated that patients who had undergone prehabilitation had significantly higher accumulation of radiopharmaceuticals than those in the control group in basal segments (74.9±3.98% vs. 70.3±7.40% p=0.04), middle (86.7±5.24% vs. 79.6±10.43%, p=0.03) and apical (85.8±5.03% vs. 79.0±8,67%, p=0.02) myocardium. The stress-induced ischemia (SDS) was less pronounced in Group 1 compared to Group 2 (0 scores and 0.9±0.53 scores, respectively, p=0.04). Myocardial perfusion defect significantly decreased during the infusion of adenosine (SSS) (p=0.013), as well as the SDS index (p=0.018) in the prehabilitation group after CABG compared with the baseline. Both groups had similar serum troponin I levels within the normal range before and after CABG. NT-pro BNP levels significantly increased in the postoperative period in patients who did not undergo prehabilitation (p=0.003). Patients who underwent prehabilitation had a significantly lower incidence of the in-hospital postoperative complications compared to patients without exercise trainings (p=0.002). Conclusion The inclusion of high intensity preoperative exercises in the routine preoperative management of patients referred to elective CABG is safe and effective method of cardioprotection improving surgical outcomes.

Aim. To evaluate endothelial function in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease by determining the number of circulating endothelial cells in peripheral blood. Material and methods. 71 patient with typical angina class I-III and presence of obstructive coronary artery disease according to coronary angiography were assessed, coronary anatomy was assessed on the SYNTAX Score scale and the number of CEC was determined by flow cytofluorimetry. Depending on the chosen treatment strategy patients were divided into the following groups: a group of medical therapy (group 1) - 22 patients; a group of patients requiring percutaneous coronary intervention (group 2) - 25 patients; a group of patients requiring surgical revascularization by coronary artery bypass surgery (group 3) - 24 patients. The control group consisted of 20 patients without atherosclerotic lesions of the coronary arteries. Results. Study groups do not differ by sex, age, history of smoking, the presence of hypertension, MI history (р > 0.05). In the group of patients who are scheduled to perform CABG significantly more patients with diabetes mellitus (р < 0.05) (group 1 - 3 patients (13.6%), group 2 - 4 patients (16.0%), group 3 - 7 patients (29.1%), control group - 2 patients (11.8%)). Study groups reliably differ in the anatomy of coronary lesions (SYNTAX Score in group 1 - 9.4 ± 2.7, in group 2 - 19.7 ± 5.7, in group 3 - 23.5 ± 6.0), р < 0.05. The number of CECs in the study groups is significantly higher than the generally accepted norm (р < 0.05), (group 1 - 12 (10÷16), group 2 - 14 (10÷17), group 3 - 14 (11÷17), control group - 12 (10÷16)). There are no significant differences between the groups with coronary artery disease (р > 0.05). Conclusion. Study of endothelial function by flow cytometry using monoclonal fluorescently labeled antibodies to CD146 and CD45 can be considered as a criterion for noninvasive assessment of the severity of atherosclerotic lesion of the coronary bed.

The aim of this study was to show the importance of modern non X-ray diagnostic techniques of coronary arteries for diagnosis and treatment of CHD. Material and methods. 110 patients, who took part in the study, were divided into two groups according to their coronarography: group 1 - patients with intermediate coronary stenosis (n = 80) and group 2 - patients with normal coronary arteries (n = 30). All patients of group1 underwent FFR measurement in the magistral arteries. On the base of FFR value the second group was conventionally divided into two subgroups: Ia (47.5% patients) - with a positive FFR value (≤0,8), in which the lesion was considered functionally significant and responsible for ischemia, and Ib (52.5% patients) - with a negative FFR value (>0,8). In the case of positive FFR value patients underwent IVUS-guided PCI. Results. Survival index free of MACE and readmissions was not significantly different in the group II and subgroup Ib and were 100 and 95.2%, respectively (p > 0.05). A comparison of this index in the subgroups Ia and Ib was no significantly different (97.3% and 95.2%, respectively, p > 0.05). The rate of restenosis in the Ia subgroup, which required re-intervention, was 2.7%, which corresponds to the data in the literature. Late stent thrombosis was not revealed. Conclusions. Survival index free of MACE and readmissions is not different in the long-term period in the study groups.

Introduction. In patients with obesity coronary atherosclerosis and chronic heart failure (CHF) progress rapidly and have a worse long-term prognosis than those with normal weight.Objective: To investigate the prognostic significance of GH and IGF-1 in the evaluation of cardiovascular risk in patients with obesity.Materials and Methods. The study included 75 men (mean age 55.31±6.32 years), which are overweight or have mild obesity (body mass index (BMI) 28.69±3.6 kg/m2). Group 1 included 45 patients (age 56.4±6.29 years, BMI 28.69±3.69 kg/m2, blood pressure 124±10.18/80±4.59 mm Hg) who underwent coronary angiography. Group 2 included 30 patients (mean age 53.6 ± 6.1 years, BMI 28.68±3.52 kg/m2, blood pressure 128±9/83±6.81 mm Hg), CAD who are excluded by treadmill test. The coronary artery calcium score was assessed in group 2. All participants were evaluated impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), triglycerides (TG), IGF-1 and GH, LPHD, LPLD, geometry of the heart chambers was assessed by echocardiography.Results. Patients in both groups did not differ in age, BMI, blood pressure. IGF-1 levels were not significantly different among the study groups. High circulating IGF-1 levels were frequently observed in group 1 (р=0.018). A statistically significant association of high IGF-1 observed with obesity (p=0.033), smoking (p=0.049), hypertension (p=0.002), end-diastolic dimension (p=0.045). GH was lower in group 1 compared with group 2 (p=0.046). Serum levels of GH are positively associated with EF (p=0.023) and E/A (p=0.043) and negatively associated with left atrial wall thickness (p=0.025) and coronary artery calcium score (p=0.005).Conclusion: 1. IGF-1 may be a useful indicator to assess the prognosis of CAD and CHF in patients with obesity. 2. Relative GH deficiency was more often associated with severe CAD in patients with obesity.

<strong>Objective:</strong> To investigate the association of platelet to lymphocyte ratio to mortality and morbidity after coronary artery bypass grafting operation.<br /><strong>Methods:</strong> We evaluated records of 916 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting operation between January 2009 and May 2014 retrospectively. Patients were grouped as Group 1 (n = 604) if the platelet to lymphocyte ratio was above 142 and Group 2 (n = 312) if platelet to lymphocyte ratio was below 142.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> The number of patients who developed a neurologic event during the hospital stay and in the first postoperative month was 7 (1.2%) in Group 1 and 12 (3.8%) in Group 2 for which the difference was statistically significant (P = .007). Early term mortality occurred in 3 patients (0.5%) in Group 1 and in 10 patients (3.2%) in Group 2 for which the difference was statistically highly significant (P = .001). In univariate and multivariate regression analysis, the preoperative platelet to lymphocyte ratio was determined as an independent risk factor for occurrence of atrial fibrillation in the early postoperative period, reoperation for sternum dehiscence, occurrence of a neurologic event, prolonged stay in the hospital and mortality.<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> In this study, elevated levels of platelet to lymphocyte ratio were associated with mortality and morbidity after coronary artery bypass grafting operation.

Abstract Background Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) constitutes about 10% of the cases of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). It is a working diagnosis and requires further diagnostics to determine the cause of ACS. Methods In this study, 178 patients were initially diagnosed with MINOCA over a period of 3 years at the Department of Invasive Cardiology of the University Clinical Hospital in Białystok. The value of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated for all patients. The patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the value of eGFR: group 1—53 patients with impaired kidney function (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; 29.8%) and group 2—125 patients with normal kidney function (eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; 70.2%). Results In group 1, the mean age of patients was significantly higher than that of group 2 patients (77.40 vs 59.27; p < 0.0001). Group had more women than group 2 (73.58% vs 49.60%; p = 0.003). Group 1 patients had higher incidence rate of arterial hypertension (92.45% vs 60.80%; p < 0.0001) and diabetes (32.08% vs 9.60%; p = 0.0002) and smoked cigarettes (22.64% vs 40.80%; p = 0.020). Group 1 patients had higher incidence rate of pulmonary edema, cardiogenic shock, sudden cardiac arrest (13.21% vs 4.00%; p = 0.025), and pneumonia (22.64% vs 6.40%; p = 0.001). After the 37-month observation, the mortality rate of the patients with MINOCA was 16.85%. Among group two patients, more of them became deceased during hospitalization (7.55% vs 0.80%; p = 0.012), followed by after 1 year (26.42% vs 7.20%; p = 0.0004) and after 3 years (33.96% vs 9.6%; p < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis revealed that the factors increasing the risk of death in MINOCA are as follows: older age, low eGFR, higher creatinine concentration, low left ventricular ejection fraction, and ST elevation in ECG. Conclusion Impaired kidney function is diagnosed in every third patient with MINOCA. Early and late prognosis of patents with MINOCA and renal dysfunction is poor, and their 3-year mortality is comparable to patients with myocardial infarction with significant stenosis of the coronary arteries and impaired kidney function.

Many parameters included in the Anticoagulation and Risk Factors in Atrial Fibrillation (ATRIA) and CHA2DS2-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years, diabetes mellitus, stroke, vascular disease, age 65-74 years, sex category) scores also predict coronary artery disease (CAD). We modified the ATRIA score (ATRIA-HSV) by adding hyperlipidemia, smoking, and vascular disease and also male sex instead of female. We evaluated whether the CHA2DS2-VASc, CHA2DS2-VASc-HS, ATRIA, and ATRIA-HSV scores predict severe CAD. Consecutive patients with coronary angiography were prospectively included. A ≥50% stenosis in ≥1epicardial coronary artery (CA) was defined as severe CAD. Patient with normal CA (n = 210) were defined as group 1, with <50% CA stenosis (n = 178) as group 2, and with ≥50% stenosis (n = 297) as group 3. The mean ATRIA, ATRIA-HSV, CHA2DS2-VASc, and CHA2DS2VASc-HS scores increased from group 1 to group 3. A correlation was found between the Synergy between PCI with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery score and ATRIA ( r = 0.570), ATRIA-HSV ( r = 0.614), CHA2DS2-VASc ( r = 0.428), and CHA2DS2-VASc-HS ( r = 0.500) scores ( Ps < .005). Pairwise comparisons of receiver operating characteristics curves showed that ATRIA-HSV (>3 area under curve [AUC]: 0.874) and ATRIA (>3, AUC: 0.854) have a better performance than CHA2DS2-VASc (>1, AUC: 0.746) and CHA2DS2-VASc-HS (>2, AUC: 0.769). In conclusion, the ATRIA and ATRIA-HSV scores are simple and may be useful to predict severe CAD.

Aim. To compare the microleakage in class II composite restorations without a liner/with resin modified glass ionomer and flowable composite liner.Method. Forty standardized MO cavities were prepared on human permanent mandibular molars extracted for periodontal reasons and then divided into 4 groups of ten specimens. The cavity preparations were etched, rinsed, blot dried, and light cured and Adper Single Bond 2 is applied. Group 1 is restored with Filtek P60 packable composite in 2 mm oblique increments. Group 2 is precure group where 1 mm Filtek Z350 flowable liner is applied and light cured for 20 sec. Group 3 is the same as Group 2, but the liner was cocured with packable composite. In Group 4, 1 mm RMGIC, Fuji Lining LC is applied and cured for 20 sec. All the teeth were restored as in Group 1. The specimens were coated with nail varnish leaving 1 mm around the restoration, subjected to thermocycling, basic fuchsin dye penetration, sectioned mesiodistally, and observed under a stereomicroscope.Results. The mean leakage scores of the individual study groups were Group 1 (33.40), Group 2 (7.85), Group 3 (16.40), and Group 4 (24.35). Group 1 without a liner showed maximum leakage. Flowable composite liner precured was the best.
