In the frame of Multicenter observational study ECVD-RF (Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Diseases and their Risk Factors in Regions of Russian Federation) by the unique protocol the investigation of representative selections of adult population at the age of 25-64 y.o. of 11 regions RF (n=18305, including males, n=6919 and females n=11386): Volgograd, Vologda, Voronezh, Ivanovo, Kemerovo, Orenburg, Samara, Tomsk, Tyumen, Saint-Petersburg and Northern Osetia-Alania. The prevalence of the following risk factors (RF) of cardiovascular diseases is evaluated: high blood pressure — 33,8%, obesity — 29,7%, high total cholesterol — 57,6%, high glucose level or diabetes — 4,6%, smoking (tobacco consumption) — 25,7%, insufficient (low) level of physical activity — 38,8%, excessive salt consumption — 49,9% and insufficient vegetables and fruits consumption — 41,9%. Gender differences and an increase with the age of the parameters mentioned are described.The absence of a epidemiologic monitoring system at the Federal level leads to an impossibility of clear conclusions on the RF dynamics in Russian population. While comparing the ECVD-RF study with previous epidemiological studies we can just cautiously suppose the existence in 21st age of negative dynamics of one RF (obesity, dyslipidemia) and positive dynamics of the others (smoking).

Aim. To study prevalence of arterial hypertension (AH), mean values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP), awareness of patients about their disease, medication consumption (MC) and efficacy of treatment in several regions of Russia.Material and methods. Representative selections were made in 9 regions of Russia: men (n=5563), women (n=9737) of 25–64 y.o., studied in 2012–2013 with the response 80%. Systematic stratified multilevel random selection was formed with localilty criteria (Kisch method). The Questionnaire on the presence of AH included: awareness of the patient about his disease, drug intake. BP measurement was performed on the right arm by automatic tonometer Omron in sitting position after 5 minutes resting. The mean value of two measurements was used. BP defined as SBP ≥140 mmHg, DBP ≥90 mmHg, or if the patient had taken antihypertensive therapy. Efficacy of treatment — the part of patients (in %) who reached target BP. Control group — part of patients (in %) with BP <140/90 mmHg. Statistic data calculation was done with computer-based statistic software — SAS with standardising by age stratification of Europe.Results. Mean SBP and DBP were 130,7±0,1 mmHg and 81,6±0,1 mmHg respectively. Prevalence of AH — 44%, higher in men (p<0,001). Prevalence of AH was higher in rural area citizens in men — 51,8% vs 47,5% (р<0,02) and in women — 42,9% vs 40,2% (р<0,05). Awareness was 67,5% in men, 78,9% in women. Medications were taken by 60,9% of women and 39,5% of men. Effectively treated were 53,5% of women and 41,4% of men. With the age the part of effectively treated decreases (p<0,0005). BP is under control only in 1/3 of women and 14,4% of men.Conclusion. The role of AH as one of the main modifiable risk factors of cardiovascular diseases is proved, however it is depressing that the percent of controlled AH is low. BP control is the main task of outpatient surveillance at every local outpatient department, where now less than a half of those affected are being observed.

Изучить информированность и особенности лечения статинами среди населения трудоспособного возраста с различным сердечно-сосудистым риском по данным эпидемиологического исследования ЭССЕ-РФ (Эпидемиология сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний в различных регионах Российской Федерации). Материал и методы. В работе использованы результаты многоцентрового исследования ЭССЕ-РФ представительной выборки из неорганизованного мужского и женского населения в возрасте 25-64 лет из 13 регионов обследованных 2012-2014гг. Отклик составил ~80%. Обследование включало опрос по стандартной анкете, содержащей данные о заболеваниях в анамнезе и др. Показатели липидного спектра, включая уровни общего холестерина (ОХС), триглицеридов, холестерина липопротеинов низкой и высокой плотности определяли в ГНИЦПМ и РКНПК. Результаты. Анализ всей обследованной выборки показал, что 20% мужчин и 32% женщин знали свой уровень ОХС, а 13,6% и 18,2%, соответственно, были осведомлены, что у них повышен уровень ОХС. Доля лиц высокого и очень высокого риска составила 31,3%, в т. ч. у мужчин -42,2%, у женщин -30,9%. Принимали статины ~7,0% пациентов в этой категории риска. Эффективность лечения (достижение целевых уровней холестерина липопротеинов низкой плотности) в этих группах у мужчин и женщин составила 14,4% и 4,8%, соответственно. Заключение. Полученные на популяционном уровне результаты о недостаточной информированности и невысокой частоте лечения статинами больных с высоким и очень высоким сердечно-сосудистым риском в РФ еще раз подтвердили тревожные данные регистров и других исследований. Полученные результаты диктуют необходимость разработки и внедрения специальных образовательных программ для населения, повышения профессиональной грамотности врачей и недорогих, но эффективных липид-снижающих препаратов. Ключевые слова: исследование ЭССЕ-РФ, информированность, риск по SCORE, уровень общего холестерина и холестерина липопротеинов низкой плотности, статины, эффективность лечения.Кардиоваскулярная терапия и профилактика, 2016; 15(4): 29-37 http://dx.

Aim. To study the prevalence of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), the characteristics of the clinical features and treatment of the disease in selected regions of the Russian Federation, this article describes the design and initial characteristics of patients included in the study.Material and methods. The study participants were selected among those included in the study “Epidemiology of cardiovascular risk factors and diseases in the regions of the Russian Federation” (ESSE-RF) in different regions of the Russian Federation. The study included individuals with lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels >4.9 mmol/l or LDL-C levels >1.8 mmol/l, but ≤4.9 mmol/l during statin therapy, according to the data obtained in the ESSE-RF study. These persons are invited for examination and questioning by experts in the field of FH diagnostics. On the basis of the survey data and provided medical documentation, the following information is collected: age, sex, smoking status, presence of hypertension, history of coronary artery disease, stroke, atherosclerosis of cerebral and peripheral arteries, LDL-C level, type, volume and duration of lipid-lowering therapy throughout life, presence and dates of secondary causes of hyperlipidemia, information about the family history of development of early cardiovascular diseases and atherosclerotic diseases, increased levels of LDL-C in relatives of the 1st and 2nd degree of kinship. All patients are examined for the presence of tendon xanthomas (Achilles, metacarpal, elbow, knee tendons) and Corneal arcus. During the visit, blood is taken for subsequent biobanking, measurement of current blood lipid levels, elimination of secondary forms of hypercholesterolemia (for subsequent determination of liver enzymes, thyroid stimulating hormone) and genetic testing. The diagnosis of FH is based on Dutch Lipid Clinical Network Criteria (DLCN). Besides, all participants in the study are tested for compliance with the diagnosis of FH according to Simon Broome criteria. All patients with a definite or probable diagnosis of FH according to DLCN or Simon Broome criteria are subjected to ultrasound examination of carotid, femoral arteries and heart and molecular genetic testing for LDLR, APOB and PCSK9 gene variants.Results. Out of 16 360 participants of the ESSE-RF study in 10 regions, 1787 people (10,9%) met the criteria for inclusion in this study. Among them, men accounted for 35.4%, of which 1150 (7%) patients had a LDL-C level >4.9 mmol/l and 637 (3,9%) had a LDL-C level from 1,81 mmol/l to 4.9 mmol/l during lipid-lowering therapy. When compared to the original cohorts of participants from the 10 regions as compared to 3 previously surveyed regions and selected sub-groups within these cohorts we observed significant differences in several parameters such as age, total cholesterol level, triglycerides, LDL-C, the frequency of cardiovascular diseases, that may indicate regional differences in FH prevalence.Conclusion. The analysis of clinical data of the participants of the ESSE-RF study shows that more than 10% of individuals require an additional examination to verify the FH diagnosis, and regional differences in the FH prevalence are possible.

Aim. To evaluate postprandial changes of lipid and glucose profiles, inflammation markers levels and flow-mediated vasodilatation in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) and to estimate acarbose course treatment efficacy in glucose intolerant patients. Material and methods. A total of 114 MS patients (83 men, 31 women) were examined, MS was associated with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in 55 cases. At the first stage postprandial dynamics of flow-mediated dilation (FMD), lipid profile parameters, inflammation markers and insulin levels were estimated. At the second stage patients with MS and IGT (n=55) were randomly assigned to the two groups of treatment. Patients of the first group (n=28) had non-drug treatment. Patients of the second group (n=27) received acarbose 300 mg/day for 3 months in addition to recommendations for lifestyle change. 3 months later postprandial values of lipid and glucose profiles parameters, inflammation markers levels and FMD were reassessed. Results. MS patients with IGT revealed maximal disorders in metabolic parameters during postprandial period: increase in the plasma levels of total cholesterol by 6.1%, high density lipoproteins -by 1.7%, and triglycerides -by 27.87%, increase in atherogenic index by 4.8%, and plasma concentrations of glucose -by 54.7%, insulin -by 30.2%, HOMA index -by 73.3%, as well as concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP) -by 49.7%, tumor necrose factor alpha -by 20.8%, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) -by 51.9%. FMD decreased by 34.3%. After 12 weeks of the acarbose treatment we had revealed positive dynamics of studied indices in postprandial period as compared to an only non-drug management: levels of glucose increased by 24.1% vs 44.4%, insulin -by 14.4% vs 24.4%, CRP -by 19.9% vs 36.6%, IL-6 -by 25.1% vs 41.7%; postprandial FMD decreased by 18.9% vs 31.1%. Conclusion. Prescription of acarbose 300 mg/day for 12 weeks in glucose intolerant patients is characterized by less significant postprandial increase in insulin resistance, inflammation markers (CRP and IL-6) levels, less decrease in flow-mediated vasodilatation with no influence on lipid metabolism parameters. Цель. Изучить изменения постпрандиальных параметров липидного и углеводного профиля, уровня маркеров воспаления и динамики поток-зависимой вазодилатации у паци-ентов с метаболическим синдромом (МС) и оценить эффективность курсового применения акарбозы при наличии нарушенной толерантности к углеводам (НТГ). Материал и методы. Обследованы 114 больных (83 мужчины и 31 женщина) с МС, из которых у 55 МС ассоциировался с НТГ. На первом этапе проведена оценка динамики поток-зависимой вазодилатации, параметров липидного профиля, маркеров воспаления и содержания инсулина в поспрандиальный период. На втором этапе пациенты с МС и НТГ (n=55) были рандомизированы на 2 группы лечения. В первой группе (n=28) проводилась немедикаментозная терапия (коррекция питания и физической активности). Па-циенты второй группы (n=27) кроме рекомендаций по изменению образа жизни получали акарбозу 300 мг/сут в течение 3 мес....
