    The review discusses the problem of anticoagulant therapy for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation and comorbidities (hypertension, heart defects, including after heart valve surgery, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, gastrointestinal diseases, anemia, cancer), as well as with a high risk of emergency operations and injuries

    We observed 140 patients with abdominal obesity (AO) (IDF, 2005), the residents of St. Petersburg (44.6 ± 0.6 years). Metabolic syndrome (MS) (IDF, 2005) was diagnosed in 49.2% of patients with AO. The most frequent component of MS in patients with AO was arterial hypertension (AH). The distribution of genotypes and -alleles of the aldosterone-synthase gene in patients with AO and in the comparison group (56 subjects without AO, 41.0 ± 1.1 years) didn't differ (p> 0.05). Levels of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) were higher in carriers of -344T allele of aldosterone-synthase gene. Plasma renin activity, plasma aldosterone and glucose levels, anthropometric parameters, serum blood lipids and carbohydrate metabolism indices in obese patients with different genotypes of aldosterone-synthase gene didn't differ. -344T allele of aldosterone-synthase gene in patients with AO is associated with the increased risk of AH.Обследованы 140 больных абдоминальным ожирением (АО) (IDF, 2005), жителей Санкт-Петербурга (44,6±0,6 года). У 49,2 % пациентов с АО был выявлен метаболический синдром (МС) (IDF, 2005). Самым частым компонентом МС у больных АО была артериальная гипертензия (АГ). Распределение генотипов и встречаемость аллелей гена альдостерон-синтазы у больных АО и в группе сравнения (56 обследованных без АО, 41,0±1,1 года) не различалось (р>0,05). Уровни артериального давления (АД), как систолического, так и диастолического, были выше у носителей -344Т-алле-ля гена альдостерон-синтазы. Активность ренина плазмы крови, уровень альдостерона плазмы крови, антропометрические параметры, показатели липидного спектра сыворотки крови и углеводного обмена у пациентов с АО, носителей различных генотипов гена альдостерон-синтазы, не различались. Носительство -344Т-аллеля гена альдостеронсинтазы у больных АО ассоциировано с увеличением риска развития артериальной гипертензии

    Aim. To study prevalence of transitory loss of consciousness (TLC) in general population of the city Samara and to suggest its genesis according to anamnestic data.Material and methods. The material for the study was provided by a simple randomized selection of persons from general population in Samara city, performed during the multicentre observational trial "Epidemiology of Cardio-Vascular Diseases in the Regions of Russian Federation — ЭССЕ-RF". Total volume of the selection was 1796 persons (more than 80% responded to the call). Average age of the studied persons was 45,8±11,9 y., women — 1256 (69,9%), men — 540 (30,1%). In questionnaire module respondents analysed: 1) are there any cases of sudden death in family anamnesis at the age less than 45 y. and linked or suspicious to be linked to heart disease; 2) any complaints on palpitation; 3) presence of palpitations and their main characteristics; 4) episodes of TLC in anamnesis and their characteristics; and 14 questions more, than make it to suspect neuromediatory mechanism of TLC.Results. The prevalence of TLC in analysed population was 23%, maximum at the age of 40-49 y., reaching 28%. TLC were 2 times more prevalent in women than in men (27,5% and 13,5% resp., p<0,01). Median of the age of first episode was 16 (11; 23) y. o., taken that in 333 (<85%) respondents at the age <30 y. o. Almost in the half of cases (53% men, 46% women) the first TLC occurred at the age between 10 and 19 y. o., and with increasing of age probability of TLC decreased to the minimum of 1% in women of 60-69 y.o.The average length of anamnesis was 27,7 (12; 47) y. Most respondents (83,5%) had no any background somatic pathology. About the episodes of sudden death of immediate family members in younger age reported 27 persons (6,5%). Conclusion. In more than a half of patients, we found the signs showing a neuromediatory genesis of TLC (56%). These were the main cause for TLC in all age groups (50%-66%) as in men (60%) and women (55%). Th second cause was arrhythmic, having 6% of cases. In 35% the main cause for TLC by the method of questionnaire was not revealed
