to study the correlation of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) with metabolic parameters, 24-hours profile of blood pressure (BP) and left ventricular remodeling, with the volume of intraabdominal adipose tissue (IAAT), measured by multislice computed tomography (MSCT) in patients with abdominal obesity and metabolic syndrome. ⋯ A positive correlation was found between the volume of EAT with the level of insulin in the blood (r=0.2937, p.

We aimed to assess autoantibodies to M2-cholinoceptors (M2-CR) in patients with paroxysmal lone atrial fibrillation (AF) and in patients with AF and arterial hypertension (AH). ⋯ Autoantibodies to M2-CR were found in 45% patients with lone AF and in 35% patients with AF and AH. In patients with lone AF prevalence of increased IgG to M2-CR were greater than in patients with AF and AH (32% vs 20%; p.

The literature review presents the characteristics of modern high - sensitivity tests for detection of Tn (hs - cTn) in the blood and the results of large studies on the diagnosis of non segment elevation myocardial infarction (nonSTEMI) using hs - cTn. The results of these studies served as the basis for the development of three - and one - hour diagnostic algorithms nonSTEMI, presented in the recommendations of the European Society of Cardiology 2012 and 2015 and also in fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction 2018.

The aim of study was to evaluate the morphological and immunohystochemical characteristics of aspirated thrombi in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing precutaneous coronary intervention to find the possible platelet activation and inflammatory cell involvement in coronary thrombi.

It is known that micro RNAs are an important regulatory element in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. Different levels of expression of these molecules in various pathologies makes miRNA a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker.
