Functional characteristics of the cardiovascular system of patients with ischemic heart disease with obesity

Abstract

The aim: To determine the features of the functional characteristics of the cardiovascular system of patients with ischemic heart disease with obesity. Materials and methods: Examined 130 persons (mostly military personnel and persons who were in the zone of active hostilities): 65 patients (the main group, 62,67±8,93 years) with coronary heart disease and obesity and 45 people of the control group (virtually healthy people, randomized by age and sex, 58,76±14,6 years). Results: Coronary heart disease and obesity compared to healthy individuals probably the exceed all values of the functional state of the cardiovascular system: systolic blood pressure (152.72±14.61 and 119.03±7.94 mmHg; p<0.001); diastolic blood pressure (90.74±7.36 and 80.36±6.74 mmHg; p<0.001); end-diastolic volume (103.17±40.84 and 52.48±8.58 mm3; р<0.001); end-systolic volume (47.98±29.92 and 31.47±8.42 mm3; р=0.001); end-diastolic size (4.74±0.81 and 4.12 ± 0.27 cm; р<0.001); end-systolic size (3.34±0.76 and 3.17±0.59 cm; р=0.014). Conclusions: The identified functional disorders of the heart in the comorbid course of coronary heart disease and obesity can be used for early diagnosis of cardiovascular complications in such patients and for the development of adequate therapeutic schemes.
