Оценка динамики бессимптомного каротидного атеросклероза у пациентов с умеренным сердечно-сосудистым риском при 7-летнем проспективном наблюдения с помощью неинвазивных маркеров, полученных в ходе ультразвукового исследования.</p></sec><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель. Оценка динамики бессимптомного каротидного атеросклероза у пациентов с умеренным сердечно-сосудистым риском при 7-летнем проспективном наблюдения с помощью неинвазивных маркеров, полученных в ходе ультразвукового исследования.</p></sec><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. 80 пациентов (47 мужчин и 33 женщины) в возрасте 53,1±5,9 лет с умеренным сердечно-сосудистым риском по шкале SCORE (Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation), уровнем холестерина липопротеинов низкой плотности (ХС ЛНП) 2,7-4,8 ммоль/л и бессимптомным гемодинамически незначимым (стеноз &lt;50%) атеросклерозом сонных артерий (СА). Пациентам проводили ультразвуковое исследование СА (PHILIPS IU22) исходно и через 7 лет. Оценивали количество атеросклеротических бляшек (АСБ) СА, максимальную высоту АСБ, суммарную высоту АСБ, суммарный стеноз СА, структуру АСБ, эхогенность АСБ по параметру медианы серой шкалы (GSM), толщину комплекса интима- медиа правой и левой общей СА. Всем пациентам была назначена терапия аторвастатином в дозе 1040 мг до достижения целевого уровня ХС ЛНП &lt;2,6 ммоль/л.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. За период наблюдения отмечено статистически значимое увеличение количества АСБ, максимальной и суммарной высоты АСБ, суммарного стеноза СА, толщины комплекса интима-медиа правой и левой общей СА. Увеличение GSM выявлено в 79% АСБ на терапии статинами. Эхогенность отдельных АСБ увеличилась на 4,90 [0,51; 17,41] (p&lt;0,001) или 7,2% [0,7%; 29%] (p&lt;0,001) за семь лет. Регрессионный анализ с поправкой на пол и возраст показал зависимость изменения GSM (ΔGSM) от изменения уровня ХС ЛНП (ΔХС ЛНП) (р=0,049), при снижении ХС ЛНП на 1 ммоль/л отмечено увеличение средней GSM на 5,9 (0,03-11,78). Максимальная высота АСБ значимо увеличилась через 7 лет наблюдения с 1,80 [1,50; 2,20] до 2,00 [1,63; 2,68] мм (р=0,044). У пациентов, достигших уровня ХС ЛНП 1,8 ммоль/л, максимальная высота АСБ снижалась сильнее, чем у пациентов, не достигших этого уровня, изменения составили -0,07 [-0,45; 0,14] мм и 0,20 [-0,05; 0,40] мм, соответственно (р=0,028). При регрессионном анализе с поправкой на пол и возраст не обнаружено зависимости изменения максимальной высоты АСБ от ΔХС ЛНП и ΔХС липопротеинов высокой плотности, однако обнаружена зависимость от уровня ХС ЛНП через 7 лет.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Терапия статинами у пациентов со стенозами СА &lt;50% вызывает стабилизацию АСБ за счет увеличения ее эхогенности и, при достижении значений ХС ЛНП &lt;1,8 ммоль/л, может приводить к уменьшению максимальной высоты АСБ.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim. To assess asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis in patients with moderate cardiovascular risk over a 7-year prospective follow-up using non-invasive ultrasound markers.</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. Eighty patients (47 men and 33 women) aged 53,1±5,9 years with moderate Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) level, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) of 2,7-4,8 mmol/l and asymptomatic hemodynamically insignificant (stenosis &lt;50%) carotid atherosclerosis (CA). Patients underwent CA ultrasound (PHILIPS IU22) at baseline and after 7 years. Plaque number, maximum plaque height, total plaque height, total CA stenosis, visual plaque morphology, gray-scale median (GSM), and intima- media thickness of the right and left common CAs were assessed. All patients were prescribed atorvastatin therapy at a dose of 10-40 mg until a target LDL-С level &lt;2,6 mmol/l was achieved.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. During the follow-up period, a significant increase was noted in the number of plaques, the maximum and total plaque height, total CA stenosis, and intima- media thickness of the right and left common CAs. An increase in GSM was detected in 79% of plaques on statin therapy. Plaque echoicity increased by 4,90 [0,51; 17,41] (p &lt;0,001) or 7,2% [0,7%; 29%] (p&lt;0,001) over seven years. Regression analysis adjusted for sex and age showed the dependence of GSM changes (ΔGSM) on changes in the LDL-C level (ΔLDL-C) (p=0,049). With a decrease in LDL-C by 1 mmol/l, an increase in average GSM was noted by 5,9 (0,03-11,78). The maximum plaque height increased significantly after 7-year follow-up from 1,80 [1,50; 2,20] to 2,00 [1,63; 2,68] mm (p=0,044). In patients who reached a LDL-C level of 1,8 mmol/l, the maximum plaque height decreased more than in patients who did not reach this level (-0,07 [-0,45; 0,14] mm and 0,20 [-0,05; 0,40] mm, respectively (p=0,028)). Regression analysis adjusted for sex and age did not reveal a relationship between the change of maximum plaque height with ΔLDL-C and Δhigh-density lipoprotein cholesterol, but with LDL-C level after 7 years.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Statin therapy in patients with CA stenosis &lt;50% stabilizes the plaques due to echogenicity increase. LDL-C &lt;1,8 mmol/l can lead to a decrease in maximum plaque height.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>атеросклероз</kwd><kwd>сонные артерии</kwd><kwd>ультразвуковое исследование</kwd><kwd>эхогенность</kwd><kwd>медиана серой шкалы</kwd><kwd>максимальная высота бляшки</kwd><kwd>структура бляшки</kwd><kwd>статины</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>atherosclerosis</kwd><kwd>carotid arteries</kwd><kwd>ultrasound</kwd><kwd>echogenicity</kwd><kwd>gray-scale median</kwd><kwd>maximum plaque height</kwd><kwd>plaque morphology</kwd><kwd>statins</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">Hirano M, Nakamura T, Kitta Y.
