RESUMEN
Aim To study features of diagnosis and treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Russian hospitals, results of the treatment, and early and late outcomes (6 and 12 months after AMI diagnosis); to evaluate the consistence of the treatment with clinical guidelines; and to evaluate patients' compliance with the treatment.Material and methods The program was designed for 3 years, including 24 months for recruitment of patients to the study. The study will include 10,â000 patients hospitalized with a confirmed diagnosis (I21 according to ICD-10) of ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (MI) (STEMI) or non-ST segment elevation MI (NSTEMI) based on criteria of the European Society of Cardiology Guidelines on Forth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (2018). The follow-up period was divided into three stages: observation during the stay in the hospital and at 6 and 12 months following inclusion into the registry. The primary endpoint included cardiac death, nonfatal MI during the hospitalization and after one-year follow-up. Secondary endpoints were 6-months and one-year incidence of repeated MI, heart failure, ischemic stroke, clinically significant hemorrhage, unscheduled revascularization after discharge from the hospital, and the proportion of patients who continue on statins, antiplatelet drugs, and drugs of other groups for 6 months and 1 year.Results The inclusion of patients into the registry started in 2020 and will continue for 24 months. By the time of the article publication (June, 2021), more than 2,000 patients will be included.Conclusion REGION-MI (Russian rEGIstry Of acute myocardial iNfarction) is a multicenter, retrospective and prospective observational cohort study that excludes any interference with the clinical practice. Results of the registry will help to analyze a real picture of medical care provided to patients with myocardial infarction and to schedule ways to improve the situation.

AIM: To study structural-functional properties of the walls of large and middle-size arteries and changes of these properties in the course of hypotensive therapy in hypertensive patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Of 609 participants of the trial (233 males and 376 females), 377 patients with essential hypertension stage I-II (mean age 46.9 +/- 7.2 years) entered the study group, 232 healthy subjects (mean age 45.7 +/- 6.9 years)--the control group. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) for vessels of elastic and muscular type was measured in all the examinees. Circadian blood pressure monitoring, echocardiography, duplex scanning of the common carotid artery were performed in hypertensive patients. 76 hypertensive patients were reexamined 6 months after treatment with amlodipin (n = 32) or fixed combination perindopril+indapamide (n = 44). RESULTS: Mean PWV appeared to be higher in hypertensive patients in whom PWV correlated with left ventricular (LV) remodeling and thickness of intima-media complex (IMC). After 6 months of hypotensive therapy PWV significantly lowered for both types of vessels studied. IMC thickness reduced by 10.1%, on the average, LV myocardial mass index--by 6.3%. CONCLUSION: The link between PWV, LV hypertrophy and IMC allows PWV use as a method of detection of cardiovascular remodeling in hypertension and for follow-up of antihypertensive treatment effect on this remodeling in outpatient treatment of hypertension.
