Ультразвуковая оценка атеросклероза сонных артерий и функции эндотелия у мужчин молодого и среднего возрастов с ишемической болезнью сердца (ИБС).</p></sec><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. В исследование вошли 78 мужчин в возрасте 28-50 лет, в т.ч. 49 больных ИБС с верифи­цированным посредством ангиографии стенозирующим атеросклерозом коронарных артерий и 29 пациентов — контрольная группа (ГК), без клинических проявлений атеросклероза. Всем пациентам проведено ультразвуковое исследование общих сонных артерий (ОСА) по стандартной методике. Для определения поток-зависимой вазодилатации (ПЗДВ) плечевой артерии выполнена проба с реактивной гиперемией.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Среди больных ИБС показатель толщины комплекса интима-медиа (КИМ) ОСА составил 0,88±0,23 мм, что было достоверно выше аналогичного показателя у пациентов ГК (0,76±0,18 мм, р=0,01). Атеросклеротические бляшки в ОСА присутствовали у 91,8% больных и 27,6% пациентов из ГК (р&lt;0,001), при этом множественные поражения наблюдались в 80% и 14% случаев, соответственно (р&lt;0,001). ПЗВД плечевой артерии составила в среднем 5,8±2,2%, что было достоверно больше по срав­нению с больными ИБС — 4,5±2,8% (р=0,03).</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Достоверные различия в частоте обнаружения нормальных значений ПЗВД у пациентов обеих групп отсутствовали. Увеличение показателя толщины КИМ и наличие множественных атеро­склеротических бляшек в ОСА у мужчин молодого и среднего возрастов сопряжено с повышенным риском развития ИБС.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim. Ultrasound assessment of carotid artery atherosclerosis and endothelial function in young and middle-aged men with coronary heart disease (CHD).</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. The study included 78 men aged 28-50 years: 49 CHD patients with angiography-verified coronary artery atherosclerosis and 29 controls (control group, CG), without clinical atherosclerosis manifestations. All participants underwent a standard carotid artery (CA) ultrasound. Brachial artery flow-dependent vasodilatation (FDVD) was assessed in reactive hyperemia test.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Among CHD patients, intima-media thickness (IMT) for common CA (0,88±0,23 mm) was signifi­cantly higher than in CG individuals (0,76±0,18 mm; р=0,01). Atherosclerotic plaques in common CA were observed in 91,8% of the CHD patients and 27,6% of controls (р&lt;0,001). Multiple plaques were observed in 80% and 14%, respectively (р&lt;0,001). Average brachial artery FDVD (5,8±2,2%) was significantly higher than that in CHD patients (4,5±2,8%; р=0,03).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. No significant differences in the prevalence of normal FDVD were observed between two groups. Increased IMT and multiple atherosclerotic plaques in common CA were associated with higher CHD risk in young and middle-aged men.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>ишемическая болезнь сердца</kwd><kwd>поток-зависимая вазодилатация</kwd><kwd>толщина комплекса интима-медиа</kwd><kwd>сонные артерии</kwd><kwd>молодой возраст</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>coronary heart disease</kwd><kwd>flow-dependent vasodilatation</kwd><kwd>intima-media thickness</kwd><kwd>carotid arteries</kwd><kwd>young age</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Brindle P, Beswick A, Fahey T, Ebrahim S.
