The aim of the study is to assess frequency, risk factors and in-hospital outcomes of acute kidney injury after coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with stable angina. ⋯ The frequency of transient AKI after coronary artery bypass grafting was 34.4%. The development of AKI is associated with AHF that occurred during coronary artery bypass grafting. The frequency of hospital complications did not differ among patients with AKI after coronary artery bypass grafting and without it.

We study the dynamics of oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) content in blood plasma, as well as changes in the activity of key antioxidant enzymes such as Se-containing glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase in erythrocytes of patients with coronary artery disease during treatment with PCSK9 inhibitor (ewolocumab). ⋯ PCSK9 inhibitor has no effect on the parameters of oxidative stress.

To evaluate the presence and the severity of the complaints (headache, dizziness, memory loss, concentration of attention, sleep disturbances, decreased mood, increased anxiety), the state of cognitive functions, emotional status and quality of night sleep in treatment-naïve middle-aged patients with mild to moderate EAH compared to healthy volunteers of the same age. ⋯ Complaints about memory dysfunction, lack of attention, sleep disturbances, less common - dizziness and headaches, are most typical in patients with EAH on the early stages of the disease. They differ from healthy volunteers of the same age by having cognitive impairment and higher anxiety and depression scores. Patients with EAH who complained about sleep disturbances had low sleep quality. Headache in patients with EAH was due to episodic migraine and tension type headache which had a negative impact on life and daily living.

The aim of current study was to estimate the economic burden of the chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in Russia based on patient registry. ⋯ CTEPH is the rare disease that is characterized with later diagnosis due to absence of disease-specific symptoms. Therefore economic burden of the CTEPH is significantly low in comparison to widespread cardiovascular diseases. Development of network of expert PH-centers and increase of the access for PAH-specific therapy will help to increase the quality of health care for patients with CTEPH.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Efficacy and safety of the use of rebamipide in the scheme of triple eradication therapy of Helicobacter pylori infection: a prospective randomized comparative study.
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the use of rebamipide as part of the triple eradication therapy (ET) scheme of Helicobacter pylori infection. ⋯ The inclusion of rebamipide in the classical triple scheme of H. pylori ET increases the effectiveness of treatment and does not affect the safety profile. In the post-eradication period, it is advisable to continue the use of rebamipide to potentiate the repair of the gastric mucosa and regress the inflammatory processes.
