Изучить прогностическую значимость биомаркеров растворимого ST2 (sST2) и натрийуретического гормона N-концевого пропептида (NT-proBNP) в оценке риска развития неблагоприятных сердечно-сосудистых событий (ССС) у больных ишемической болезнью сердца (ИБС) с хронической сердечной недостаточностью (ХСН), перенесших реваскуляризацию миокарда.</p></sec><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. Обследованы 87 пациентов (72 мужчины) с ИБС и ХСН I-III функциональных классов (NYHA) с фракцией выброса левого желудочка (ФВ ЛЖ) 63 [55; 65]%, средний возраст 63 [57; 69] года. Содержание sST2 и NT-proBNP в плазме крови определяли иммуноферментным методом до проведения реваскуляризации миокарда.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Через 12 мес. проспективного наблюдения больные разделены на 2 группы в зависимости от характера течения ХСН. В I группу включены пациенты (n=35) с неблагоприятными ССС, во II группу — пациенты (n=52) с благоприятным течением патологии. Установлено, что у больных I группы уровень sST2 был больше на 41,5% (p=0,000) и составил 46,78 [37,88; 64,96] нг/мл, тогда как у пациентов во II группе — 27,39 [23,02; 35,4] нг/мл. Концентрация NT-proBNP в группе неблагоприятного течения ХСН превышала таковую в 2,5 раза (p=0,004) по сравнению с пациентами в группе благоприятного течения, составив 189,21 [74,46; 580,79] и 73,58 [26,64; 155,77] пг/мл, соответственно. При ROC-анализе установлено, что уровень sST2  ≥34,18 нг/мл (чувствительность — 90,6%, специфичность — 75,0%, АУС — 0,88, р&lt;0,0001) и уровень NT-proBNP  ≥276,96 пг/мл (чувствительность — 88,4%, специфичность — 43,7%, АиС — 0,64, р&lt;0,004) можно рассматривать в качестве маркеров развития неблагоприятных CCC в течение 12 мес. у больных ИБС с ХСН после выполнения реваскуляризации миокарда. При этом определение комбинации обоих биомаркеров увеличивает прогностическую значимость анализа (чувствительность — 92,6%, специфичность — 77,1%, АУС — 0,90, р&lt;0,0001).</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Таким образом, препроцедурный уровень sST2 можно рассматривать в качестве неинвазивного маркера для прогнозирования неблагоприятных ССС. Комбинированное использование sST2 и NT-proBNP обладает более высокой диагностической чувствительностью и специфичностью в отношении прогнозирования неблагоприятного течения ХСН.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim. To evaluate prediction role of the biomarkers soluble ST2 (sST2) and natriuretic hormone N-terminal propeptide (NT-proBNP) in risk assessment of adverse cardiovascular events (ACVE) in coronary heart disease patients (CHD) with chronic heart failure (CHF) after myocardial revascularization.</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. Totally, 87 patients included (72 males) with CHD and CHF I-III functional class by NYHA with ejection fraction of the left ventricle (LVEF) 63 [55; 65]%, mean age 63 [57; 69] y.o. Levels of sST2 and NT-proBNP in plasma were measured by immune enzyme assay before myocardial revascularization.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. In 12 months of prospective follow-up, patients were selected to 2 groups according to clinical course of CHF. To the group I the patients included (n=35) with ACVE, group II (b=52) — with none. It was found that in the group I the level of sST2 was higher by 41,5% (p&lt;0,001) and reached 46,78 [37,88; 64,96] ng/mL, and in the group II — 27,39 [23,02; 35,4] ng/mL. Concentration of NT-proBNP in the group with ACVE was 2,5 times (p=0,004) higher comparing with group II and reached 189,21 [74,46; 580,79] and 73,58 [26,64; 155,77] pg/mL, respectively. In ROC-analysis it was found that the level of sST2  ≥34,18 ng/mL (sensitivity — 90,6%, specificity — 75,0%, AUC — 0,88, р&lt;0,0001) and level of NT-proBNP  ≥276,96 pg/mL (sensitivity — 88,4%, specificity — 43,7%, AUC — 0,64, р&lt;0,004) can be regarded as markers of ACVE during 12 months in CHD and CHF patients after revascularization. Also, together these two markers increase predictive significance of the analysis (sensitivity — 92,6%, specificity — 77,1%, AUC — 0,90, р&lt;0,0001).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Therefore, the preprocedural level of sST2 can be regarded as non-invasive marker for prediction of ACVE. Combination of sST2 and NT-proBNP shows higher diagnostic sensitvity and specificity for prediction of adverse CHF course.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>ишемическая болезнь сердца</kwd><kwd>реваскуляризация миокарда</kwd><kwd>неблагоприятные сердечно-сосудистые события</kwd><kwd>прогнозирование</kwd><kwd>биомаркеры</kwd><kwd>сердечная недостаточность</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>coronary heart disease</kwd><kwd>myocardial revascularization</kwd><kwd>adverse cardiovascular events</kwd><kwd>prediction</kwd><kwd>biomarkers</kwd><kwd>heart failure</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">Шальнова С.
