CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE, STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL STATE OF MYOCARDIUM AND BRAIN NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE LEVEL IN PATIENTS WITH CORONARY HEART DISEASE IN CONJUNCTION WITH HYPERTENSION
The purpose of research: studying of the clinical picture, the state of the coronary bed and the level of N-terminal fragment of brain natriuretic peptide (Nt-proBNP) in different types of stable angina in combination with arterial hypertension (AH). Patients were divided into three groups of identical study design ACTION. Echocardiography (echo-CG), coronary angiography (CAG), laboratory tests were done. Structural and functional state of the myocardium was changed more in patients with angina, complicated by the presence of cardiovascular events, they have the same as in patients undergoing percutaneous angioplasty revealed more severe defeat of coronary artery (CA). Nt-proBNP levels were not significantly different in the groups, but correlated with age, the degree of stenosis of the CA, the size of the cavities, ejection fraction (EF) and myocardial mass index (LVMI) of the left ventricle.
