Background. Problems surrounding comorbidities of type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease are some of the most important in medical science and practice, given their mutually negative impact on patients prognoses and quality of life. Aims. To study the impact of type 2 diabetes on the long-term prognoses of patients of different age categories, status-post acute myocardial infarction. (Data obtained from the Register of Acute Myocardial Infarction.) Materials and methods. The main data source was the Register of Acute Myocardial Infarction, maintained in Tomsk for more than 30 years. The study included 862 patients with acute myocardial infarction. The patients were monitored for 5 years. The primary endpoint was death from any cause during the observation period. Results. We separated the study cohort into 2 groups depending on patients ages: Group 1 (n = 358) included patients older than working age, Group 2 (n = 504) consisted of younger, employable patients. The combination of ischaemic heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus were diagnosed in 208 patients. The combination of ischaemic heart disease and type 2 diabetes was the cause of adverse prognosis among elderly patients and led to increased mortality rate during the 5-year post-infarction period (p = 0.0003). However, among younger, working patients who suffered myocardial infarction, the presence of type 2 diabetes did not have an independent negative effect on long-term disease prognosis. While in employable patients, a long history of diabetes mellitus significantly aggravated the course of the post-infarction period (p = 0.004). Conclusions. These data suggest an ambiguous prognostic effect of type 2 diabetes mellitus among working age and elderly patients status post myocardial infarction, in agreement with experimental studies conducted on laboratory animals. Further comprehensive analyses of the clinical and experimental data are needed to optimise therapies for patients who suffer from type 2 diabetes and comorbid ischaemic heart disease.

Current paper presents data from international multicenter studies performed with participation of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) and ischaemic heart disease. We analyze results regarding advisability of different glycemic targets, prescription safetyof various classes of antihyperglycemic agents in patients with inschaemic heart disease, acute coronary syndrome and chronic heartfailure, as well as therapeutic approach to glycemic control in acute myocardial infarction and cardiologic interventional procedures.

Background: The present review article considers some chronic diseases of vascular and metabolic genesis, the causes of which may be mitochondrial dysfunction. Very often, in the long course of the disease, complications may occur, leading to myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke and as a result, death.In particular, a large percentage of human deaths nowadays belongs to cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease (CHD), arterial hypertension, cardiomyopathies and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Objective: The aim of the present review was the analysis of literature sources, devoted to an investigation of a link of mitochondrial DNA mutations with chronic diseases of vascular and metabolic genesis, Results: The analysis of literature indicates the association of the mitochondrial genome mutations with coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension and various types of cardiomyopathies. Conclusion: The detected mutations can be used to analyze the predisposition to chronic diseases of vascular and metabolic genesis. They can also be used to create molecular-cell models necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of drugs developed for treatment of these pathologies. MtDNA mutations associated withthe absence of diseases of vascular and metabolic genesis could be potential candidates for gene therapy of diseases of vascular and metabolic genesis.
