Objectives. To collect the data about the consumption of digoxin, evaluate the tendencies towards usage of this drug during 2004–2007, and to find departments, which cover the main part of digoxin consumption in a tertiary hospital. To evaluate the intensity of serum digoxin concentration measurements during 2005–2007. Material and methods. Our study was carried out in a tertiary hospital with 2600 beds and 63 departments. Consumption of digoxin is expressed in defined daily doses per 100 occupied beds daily during 2004–2007. All serum concentration measurements in 2005–2007 were evaluated. Results. The main consumers of digoxin in 2007 were the Units of Endocrinology, Pulmonology and Immunology, Cardiology II, Neurosurgical Reanimation and Intensive Care, Neurology, Eye Disorders I, Intensive Care Unit of Cardiology; they consumed 51.05% of total digoxin. In total, 58 digoxin measurements were performed in 2005, 89 in 2006, and 64 in 2007. The intensity of serum concentration measurements for digoxin is 1/147 (one measurement for 147 defined daily doses) in 2005, 1/89 in 2006, and 1/107 in 2007. These results show that intensity of serum digoxin concentration measurements is low. Conclusions. Twenty-two out of the 63 departments cover 90% of digoxin consumption per year. The changes in digoxin consumption were not statistically significantly different in 2004– 2007. There was a tendency towards an increase in serum digoxin concentration measurements during the 3-year period. Digoxin concentration outside therapeutic ranges was established in about half of all cases in 2005–2006, but there was an increase in normal serum concentration in 2007.

616.12 [udc] ,Metabolic syndrome X ,Acute coronary syndrome - Abstract
Objective. Many studies report that the components of the metabolic syndrome – arterial hypertension, abdominal obesity, diabetes mellitus, and atherogenic dyslipidemia – are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. We investigated the prevalence of different components of the metabolic syndrome and frequency of their combinations and acute hyperglycemia among patients with acute coronary syndromes. Methods and results. The study population consisted of 2756 patients (1670 men and 1086 women with a mean age of 63.3±11.3 years) with acute coronary syndromes: Q-wave myocardial infarction was present in 41.8% of patients; non-Q-wave MI, in 30.7%; and unstable angina pectoris, in 27.5%. The metabolic syndrome was found in 59.6% of the patients according to modified NCEP III guidelines. One component of the metabolic syndrome was found in 13.5% of patients; two, in 23.0%; and none, in 3.9%. Less than one-third (29.2%) of the patients had three components of the metabolic syndrome, and 30.4% of the patients had four or five components. Arterial hypertension and abdominal obesity were the most common components of the metabolic syndrome (82.2% and 65.8%, respectively). Nearly half of the patients had hypertriglyceridemia and decreased level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (55.0% and 51.1%, respectively), and 23.9% of patients had diabetes mellitus. Acute hyperglycemia (≥6.1 mmol/L) without known diabetes mellitus was found in 38.1% of cases. The combination of arterial hypertension and abdominal obesity was reported in 57.8% of patients in the case of combinations of two-five metabolic syndrome components. Conclusion. More than half of patients with acute coronary syndromes had three or more components of the metabolic syndrome, and arterial hypertension and abdominal obesity were the most prevalent components of the metabolic syndrome.

Metabolic syndrome X ,Acute coronary syndrome ,616.132.2 [udc] - Abstract
During the last decade, it has been shown that the metabolic syndrome and its different components – arterial hypertension (AH), abdominal obesity (AO), diabetes mellitus (DM), atherogenic hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), and/or low concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)) – increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. There is increasing evidence that the incidence of the metabolic syndrome and the distribution of its components in combinations in the general male and female population differ. The aim of our study was to determine the incidence of the metabolic syndrome in men and women with acute ischemic syndromes and to evaluate the distribution of the metabolic syndrome component combinations in the presence of the metabolic syndrome. Contingent and methods. The study included 2756 patients (1670 males and 1086 females) with acute ischemic syndromes (1997 with myocardial infarction and 759 with unstable angina pectoris), in whom all five components of the metabolic syndrome were assessed. Women were significantly older than men (68.1±9.5 vs. 60.2±11.8 years, P

Tyrimo tikslas. Įvertinti persirgusiųjų miokardo infarktu ambulatorinio laikotarpio medikamentinio gydymo kokybę remiantis anketinės apklausos duomenimis. Tirtųjų kontingentas ir tyrimo metodai. Tirtųjų kontingentą sudarė 985 ligoniai (51 proc. – Kauno m. gyventojai, likusieji – gyvenantys kituose Respublikos regionuose), gydyti 2004 m. KMUK Kardiologijos klinikoje dėl ūminio miokardo infarkto. Praėjus metams po stacionarinio gydymo, paštu išsiuntėme buvusiems ligoniams apklausos anketą, kurioje buvo prašoma atsakyti į klausimus apie sveikatos būklę ir išvardinti ambulatoriniu laikotarpiu vartotus vaistus. Užpildytas anketas atsiuntė 514 pacientų. Vidutinis laikotarpis nuo ūminio miokardo infarkto pradžios iki anketos užpildymo – 13,8±3,2 mėnesio. Remdamiesi anketos duomenimis, nustatėme keturių pagrindinių vaistų grupių, rekomenduojamų antrinei širdies ir kraujagyslių ligų profilaktikai: beta adrenoblokatorių, angiotenziną konvertuojančio fermento slopiklių, antitrombozinių vaistų, statinų vartojimo dažnumą ir pacientų pasiskirstymą pagal vartojamų vaistų skaičių bei jų derinius. Rezultatai. Beta adrenoblokatoriai, angiotenziną konvertuojančio fermento slopikliai ir antitromboziniai vaistai buvo dažniausiai vartojamos vaistų grupės (76, 74 ir 76 proc. pacientų, atitinkamai). Statinus vartojo tik 30 proc. tirtųjų. Pagal vartojamų pagrindinių vaistų skaičių pacientai pasiskirstė taip: vieną vaistą vartojo 12,1 proc., du – 24,1 proc., tris – 36,8 proc., keturis – 19,8 proc...

We performed a prospective survey of 985 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction who were treated in the Clinic of Cardiology of Kaunas University of Medicine Hospital in 2004. About half of patients were hospitalized from different regions of Lithuania. According to the follow-up protocol, an information on 514 patients and their used treatment within 13.8±3.2 months after myocardial infarction were collected by letter with questionnaire. Results. Beta-adrenoblockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and antithrombotic drugs were the most drug used (76%, 74%, and 76%, respectively) in patients following myocardial infarction. Most of the patients used a three-drug combination (36.8%), more rarely – two-drug (24.1%) or four-drug complex (19.8%). One drug was used only in 12.1% of cases; 7.2% of patients did not use any cardiac drugs. Beta-adrenoblocker with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor was the most common (40.3%) used drug combination in patients on two drug complex. The combination of beta-adrenoblocker, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, and antithrombotics was more frequently used in patients on three drug complex. The combination of two or three cardiac drugs with statin was used in several cases (1.6–10.3%). Conclusions. These findings underscore that the use of... [to full text]

Tyrimo tikslas. Nustatyti miokardo infarktu susirgusiems ligoniams, kuriems nebuvo diagnozuotas cukrinis diabetas, hiperglikemijos dažnį hospitalizavus ir išrašant iš stacionaro. Tyrimo medžiaga ir metodai. Tirtųjų kontingentą sudarė 1552 ligoniai, susirgę miokardo infarktu, be cukrinio diabeto anamnezėje. 197 ligoniams, kuriems hospitalizavus nustatyta hiperglikemija (>=6,1 mmol/l), išrašant iš stacionaro buvo atliktas gliukozės tolerancijos mėginys. Rezultatai. Hospitalizavus hiperglikemija nustatyta daugiau kaip pusei (51,6 proc.) susirgusiųjų miokardo infarktu, penktadaliui ligonių gliukozės koncentracijos padidėjimas buvo 6,1–6,99 mmol/l, trečdaliui – >=7,0 mmol/l, o mažiau kaip pusei – gliukozės koncentracija buvo normali. Ligoniams, kuriems rasta hiperglikemija hospitalizavus, atlikus gliukozės tolerancijos mėginį, trečdaliui tiriamųjų nustatytas gliukozės tolerancijos sutrikimas, dešimtadaliui – cukriniam diabetui būdingas gliukozės koncentracijos padidėjimas. Išvada. Daugiau kaip pusei ligonių neatpažintas gliukozės tolerancijos sutrikimas iki jiems susergant miokardo infarktu, rodo gliukozės koncentracijos ištyrimo svarbą sergantiesiems krūtinės angina arba turintiems išeminės širdies ligos riziką, kad būtų galima kuo anksčiau pradėti šio rizikos veiksnio modifikaciją. The objective of this study was to determine frequency of admission hyperglycemia and abnormal glucose tolerance at discharge in patients with acute myocardial infarction and no previous history of diabetes mellitus. Methods and results. Data on 1522 patients with acute myocardial infarction and no previous history of diabetes mellitus were analyzed. Before discharge from hospital, standardized oral glucose tolerance test was performed in 197 patients with admission hyperglycemia. Results. Admission hyperglycemia (>=6.1 mmol/L) was determined in half of the patients with acute myocardial infarction: glucose concentration of 6.1–6.99 mmol/L was in 21.5% and >=7.0 mmol/L in 30.1% of the patients. By using glucose tolerance test, normal glucose metabolism was noted in 57.9% of the patients with admission hyperglycemia; abnormal glucose tolerance was diagnosed newly in more than one-third and glucose concentration of >=11.1 mmol/L in 10.1% of the patients. Conclusions. Abnormal glucose tolerance is a frequent feature in nondiabetic patients with admission hyperglycemia during acute myocardial infarction, and glucose tolerance test should be considered in all patients with ischemic heart disease for early modification of this risk factor.

The aim of the study was to create the model of the combination of clinical and echocardiographic determinants during the acute period of acute coronary syndromes for the prognostication of the risk for left ventricular dysfunction after one year. We examined 565 patients with first-time acute coronary syndrome with no recurrence during one-year period. The studied group consisted of 496 patients, and the examined group – of 69 patients. All patients with acute coronary syndrome within the first three days underwent the evaluation of demographic, anamnesis, clinical indicators, risk factors for ischemic heart disease, ECG, and echocardiographic findings for the prognostication of the risk of left ventricular dysfunction after one year. Multiple logistic regression analysis was applied for the identification of independent determinants for the prognostication of left ventricular dysfunction, and three risk groups were identified. The prognostic informative value of the model was verified by comparing the incidence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction in risk groups after one year between the studied and the control groups. Results. After one year, left ventricular systolic dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction

Tyrimo tikslas. Nustatyti klinikinius požymius, būdingus pacientams, kuriems įtariama išeminė širdies liga, pakitusi ramybės elektrokardiograma, neinformatyvus veloergometrijos tyrimas ir rasta miokardo perfuzijos sutrikimų. Tirtųjų kontingentas ir tyrimo metodai. Ištyrėme 370 pacientų (157 vyrus ir 213 moterų), besiskundžiančių krūtinės skausmais. Jiems įtarta išeminė širdies liga, ramybės elektrokardiogramoje rasta pakitimų. Visiems pacientams dviem etapais pagal vienos dienos standartinį protokolą atlikta miokardo krūvio radionuklidinė kompiuterinė tomografija naudojant metoksiizobutilizonitrilą žymėtą 99mTc. Tuos veloergometrijos tyrimus, kai krūvis buvo nutrauktas pasiekus submaksimalų širdies susitraukimų dažnį ar atsiradus išeminių pokyčių elektrokardiogramoje, priskyrėme informatyviems tyrimams, likusius – neinformatyviems. Rezultatai. Neinformatyvus veloergometrijos tyrimas buvo 160 (43,2 proc.) pacientų. Šiems pacientams miokardo perfuzijos defektų (grįžtamųjų ir nekintamųjų) nustatėme dažniau negu tiems, kurių veloergometrija buvo informatyvi (63,1 ir 50,0 proc., p150 W) was achieved (p

Breast feeding ,Drug effects ,613.953.11 [udc] ,618 [udc] - Abstract
Breastfeeding is the most healthful method of feeding neonates and infants. In 2001 about 98% of new mothers in Lithuania started breastfeeding their neonates. One-third of nursing women (34%) discontinued breastfeeding at the time when infant reached the age of 3 months. About 56% of women breastfed their infants longer than 4 months. Only 3–6% of nursing women discontinued breastfeeding after the fourth month. Discontinuation of breastfeeding in 21–23% of all cases was directly or indirectly associated with use of medications. Such data suggest that there is a lack of information often leading physicians to advise mothers to discontinue breastfeeding because of medication use. The aim of this article was to survey the situation about classification of drugs used during breastfeeding and factors influencing drug transfer into milk in order to give more information for physician concerning the use of medication during breastfeeding. In this review, a short description of main pharmacokinetic characteristics, influencing drug transfer into milk; information on the classification of drugs used during breastfeeding; some considerations on drug safety and possible adverse effects of medications on breastfed infant; the list of drugs preferred for nursing women are presented.

Žindymas yra sveikiausias naujagimių ir kūdikių maitinimo būdas. 2001 metais Lietuvoje atlikto tyrimo duomenimis, gimus naujagimiui žindyti pradeda 98 proc. moterų. Per pirmuosius tris mėnesius po gimdymo žindyti nustoja 34 proc. moterų. Keturis ir daugiau mėnesių žindė 56,5 proc. moterų. Po ketvirtojo mėnesio žindyti nustojo gerokai mažiau moterų – vos 3–6 proc. 21–23 proc. atvejų žindymo nutraukimas buvo tiesiogiai ar netiesiogiai susijęs su medikamentų vartojimu. Tokie duomenys rodo, kad informacijos stoka skatina gydytojus rekomenduoti žindyvėms nutraukti žindymą, jei reikia vartoti medikamentus. Šio straipsnio tikslas – supažindinti su vaistinių preparatų klasifikacija atsižvelgiant į žindymo riziką, pateikti informaciją apie vaistinių preparatų patekimą į motinos pieną lemiančius veiksnius, nepageidaujamo poveikio riziką, supažindinti su vaistiniais preparatais, kuriuos galima vartoti žindymo laikotarpiu. Pateikti duomenys bus naudingi įvairių specialybių gydytojams sprendžiant, ar visada būtina nutraukti žindymą, kai žindyvė vartoja medikamentus. Straipsnyje trumpai aptariami farmakokinetikos rodikliai, lemiantys vaistinio preparato patekimą į motinos pieną, pateikiama žindymo laikotarpiu vartojamų vaistų klasifikacija, apžvelgti vaisto saugumo aspektai, galimas nepageidaujamas vaistų poveikis, pateiktas trumpas sąrašas medikamentų, kuriuos saugu vartoti žindymo laikotarpiu.

Objective. To evaluate trends in the use of antidepressant drugs in Lithuania between 2002 and 2004 and to perform cost-minimization and reference price analysis enabling more rational use of financial resources of national health system. Material and methods. The data on sales of antidepressant drugs in Lithuanian over a 3-year period (2002–2004) were obtained from IMS Health Inc. database. Data were calculated by defined daily dose (DDD) methodology and expressed in DDDs per 1000 inhabitants per day. DU90% was used as the quality indicator of the drug prescribing. The pharmacoeconomic analysis of antidepressant drugs was performed by cost-minimization and reference price methodology. Results. The consumption of antidepressants in Lithuanian increased by 30.55% over a 3-year period (2002–2004) reaching the value of 10.00 DDDs/1000 inhabitants/day. Since 2002, the proportion of use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors has increased by 27.82%, and the use of tricyclic antidepressants has declined by 10.78%, while the use of other (newer) antidepressant drugs expanded almost three times. The expenditures of antidepressant drugs have reached 26 million Lt in 2004, of which 68.15% were costs for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Choosing the second lowest price in different antidepressant drug class, it is estimated the possible savings of 4.34 million Lt lowering the total expenses by 16.5% (1 €=3.4528 Lt). Conclusions.

Vaistų suvartojimas buvo vertinamas pagal apibrėžtos dienos dozės (DDD – angl. defined daily dose) metodiką, o duomenys pateikiami apibrėžta dienos doze tūkstančiui gyventojų. Pasirinktas vaistų išrašymo kokybės indikatorius DU95 proc. Antidepresantų farmakoekonominei analizei atlikti taikytas kaštų mažinimo bei referentinės kainos nustatymo metodas. Rezultatai. Per trejus metus (2002–2004) antidepresantų vartojimas padidėjo 30,55 proc. ir pasiekė 10,00 DDD/tūkstančiui gyventojų rodiklį. Selektyvaus poveikio serotonino reabsorbcijos inhibitorių (SSRI) klasės antidepresantų vartojimas padidėjo 27,82 proc., TCA sumažėjo 10,78 proc., o kitų antidepresantų vartojimas padidėjo beveik tris kartus. Išlaidos antidepresantams padidėjo iki 26 mln. litų 2004 metais, iš kurių net 68,15 proc. buvo skirta SSRI klasės vaistams. Taikant referentinės kainos metodiką, antrojo antidepresanto pagal pigumą kainą kiekvienoje vaistų klasėje būtų įmanoma sutaupyti 4,35 mln. litų išlaidas sumažinant 16,5 proc. (1€=3,4528 Lt).

Darbo tikslas. Nustatyti kardialinių įvykių dažnumą bei įvertinti klinikinių žymenų ryšį su išgyvenimo tikimybe penkerius metus po persirgtų skirtingų ūminių išeminių sindromų. Tyrimo medžiaga ir metodai. Prospektyviojoje stebėjimo studijoje analizuojamas 732 ligonių, susirgusių pirmuoju ūminiu išeminiu sindromu, kardialinių įvykių dažnis ir išgyvenimas penkerius metus. Ūminiu išeminių sindromų laikotarpiu visiems ligoniams skirtas standartinis medikamentinis gydymas (heparinu, nitratais, aspirinu, beta adrenoblokatoriais, AKF slopintojais), 45,5 proc. ligonių atlikta miokardo revaskulizacija. Rezultatai. Postacionariniu laikotarpiu 215 (29,4 proc.) nustatyti kardialiniai įvykiai: 15,3 proc. – miokardo revaskulizacija, 8,1 proc. – pakartotinis miokardo infarktas, 11,5 proc. – mirtis nuo širdies ir kraujagyslių ligų. Didžiausias mirštamumas (5 proc.) po persirgtų ūminių išeminių sindromų buvo per pirmuosius vienerius metus, per kitus ketverius metus – vidutiniškai 1,5 proc. kasmet. Išgyvenimo tikimybę reikšmingai mažino buvęs ūminis širdies nepakankamumas (p=0,003), ryški kairiojo skilvelio sistolinė ir diastolinė disfunkcija (p=0,04 ir p=0,0035, atitinkamai), didelis mitralinio vožtuvo nesandarumas (p=0,00006), vyresnis ligonių amžius (p=0,02) ir neatlikta miokardo revaskulizacija ūminių išeminių sindromų laikotarpiu (p=0,007).

Tyrimo tikslas. Nustatyti klinikinius požymius, būdingus pacientams, kuriems įtariama arba patvirtinta išeminė širdies liga, bet jiems radionuklidinės kompiuterinės tomografijos metodu nerandama krūvio miokardo perfuzijos sutrikimų. Tirtųjų kontingentas ir tyrimo metodai. Ištirti 806 pacientai, iš jų 451 vyras. Įvertintas skausmo krūtinėje pobūdis, anamnezės duomenys, elektrokardiograma, atlikta krūvio radionuklidinė kompiuterinė tomografija pagal vienos dienos standartinį protokolą. Veloergometrinis mėginys vertintas kaip patologinis, nepatologinis, ribinis ir neinformatyvus. Miokardo perfuzijos sutrikimai vertinti balų sistema trimis aspektais: defekto apimtis, perfuzijos sumažėjimo laipsnis fizinio krūvio ir ramybės būsenos metu trijų vainikinių arterijų baseinuose. Rezultatai. Normalūs krūvio radionuklidinės kompiuterinės tomografijos vaizdai buvo 287 (35,6 proc.) pacientų. Įvertinus atskirų požymių įtaką normalios krūvio miokardo perfuzijos tikimybei pagal šansų santykio dydį, nustatyta, kad normali perfuzija aštuonis kartus dažnesnė moterims negu vyrams (p=0,00001), keturis kartus dažnesnė tiems, kuriems intervencinis gydymas neskirtas palyginus su tais, kuriems toks gydymas buvo skirtas (p=0,0001), tris kartus dažnesnė nesirgusiems miokardo infarktu ir kuriems nustatytas nepatologinis atsakas į krūvio mėginį lyginant su patologiniu (p=0,00001). Du kartus dažniau normali miokardo perfuzija nustatyta pacientams, jaučiantiems atipinį angininį arba neangininį skausmą lyginant su jaučiančiais tipinius angininius skausmus (p=0,0001) ir kuriems veloergometrija nutraukta pasiekus submaksimalų pulso dažnį lyginant su išeminiais pokyčiais (p=0,0005). Išvados. [...]., The aim of this study was to establish characteristic clinical data in patients with normal stress myocardial perfusion scans. Material and methods. 99mMIBI scintigraphy was performed following a one-day protocol (stress-rest) in 806 patients (out of them 451 men) with suspected or known coronary artery disease. A bicycle exercise test response was estimated as pathological, non-pathological, borderline and non-informative. Myocardial perfusion was scored according to the size and severity of defect. Results. Myocardial perfusion was normal in 287 (35.6%) patients. Univariate analysis showed, that normal stress myocardial perfusion scans more often were established in women than in men (p=0.00001, odds ratio 8.55), in patients with atypical anginal or non-anginal chest pain than with typical angina (p=0.0001, odds ratio 1.92), in patients without previous myocardial infarction (p=0.0001, odds ratio 3.28) and without myocardial revascularization (p=0.0001, odds ratio 3.28). The characteristic bicycle exercise test data for normal scans were non-pathological response vs pathological (p=0.00001, odds ratio 3.03) and reason of discontinuance – target heart rate achieved (85% of maximum) vs ischemic changes (p=0.0005, odds ratio 2.37). Conclusions. Normal stress myocardial perfusion scans were more often present in women, in patients with atypical angina or non-anginal chest pain, in patients without myocardial infarction and without myocardial revascularization. Achieved target heart rate and non-pathological response to exercise test were commonly observed in patients with normal perfusion scans.

- Abstract
Objective: To determine informativity of clinical variables in predicting significant coronary artery disease in patients with chest pain and normal stress myocardial perfusion scintigraphy., Material and Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of data of coronary angiography performed in 84 patients with chest pain and normal stress myocardial perfusion scintigraphy during 2000-2007. Single-photon emission computed tomography was performed following a one-day protocol (stress-rest). A 5-point (0-4) scoring system in a 20-segment model was used for interpretation of results. Myocardial perfusion was considered normal if the sum of stress scores was 0 to 3., Results: High pretest probability and informative exercise-terminating criteria were documented in 25% and 45.2% of patients, respectively. Significant coronary artery disease (stenosis ≥ 75%) was determined in 26 (31%) patients with normal myocardial perfusion scintigraphy: 15 (17.9%) patients had coronary artery disease of a single vessel, 5 (6%) of two vessels, and 6 (7.1%) of three vessels. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that patients with typical angina and high pretest probability were more likely to have significant stenosis of one to three arteries (odds ratios, 3.8; P=0.008 and 3.43; P=0.023, respectively). Three-vessel disease was more often documented in patients with typical angina (odds ratio, 11.2; P=0.009), high pretest probability (odds ratio, 7.93; P=0.018), and signs of ischemia during exercise test (odds ratio, 6.4; P=0.037)., Conclusion: Patients with typical angina, high pretest probability, and signs of ischemia during exercise test have an increased probability of having significant coronary artery disease despite normal stress myocardial perfusion scintigraphy; therefore, this group of patients should undergo coronary angiography.

- Abstract
Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to determine associations of acute coronary syndrome and acute heart failure with mortality from cardiovascular causes during hospitalization and mortality from cardiovascular causes and chronic heart failure during one-year period., Material and Methods: A total of 1554 consecutive patients with discharge diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, treated at the Clinic of Cardiology, Hospital of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (former Kaunas University of Medicine) in 2005, were prospectively enrolled into the study. For the assessment of patients' status, data from the Cardiac Center Registry database were used. Patients were followed up for one year from admission to hospital., Results: Acute heart failure was diagnosed in 32.3% of patients during hospitalization, and chronic heart failure was diagnosed in 17% during a one-year follow-up period. Myocardial revascularization was performed in 70.8% of patients with coronary artery stenosis of ≥70%. After one year, chronic heart failure was documented in 1039 patients, and it was almost three times more frequent in patients who had acute heart failure at diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome than in patients without acute coronary syndrome during hospitalization (31.4% vs. 11.6%; P<0.05). Death from cardiovascular causes occurred more frequently in patients with acute heart failure than without it during both in-hospital and out-of-hospital periods (11.5% vs. 1.9%, P<0.001; 7.7% vs. 2.3%, P<0.001)., Conclusion: In the presence of acute coronary syndrome, diagnosed acute heart failure significantly increases the frequency of chronic heart failure during one-year period and mortality rate from cardiovascular diseases during hospitalization and one-year period.
