Topic 1. Cardiac pathophysiology
levels increase 6—8 hours after the onset of a pain attack, the peak is 18—24 hours, activity decreases to normal values on the 4—5 day. The increase in enzyme activity in dynamics may indicate the ex­pansion of the necrosis focus, the involvement of other organs and tissues, for example, the liver, in the pathological process.
5. During infarction, the content of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) increases. LDH is a cytoplasmic zinc-containing enzyme found in almost all human organs and tissues, its concentration in­side cells is much higher than in blood serum. It catalyzes the re­versible oxidation reaction of L-lactate to pyruvate. The greatest activity is observed in the kidneys, liver, heart, skeletal muscles, pancreas, blood cells (different tissues differ in the isoenzyme composition of LDH).
An important property of cardiac troponins is a long period of increase in blood concentration: up to 10 days for troponin I and up to 14 days for troponin T. For the purpose of diagnosing repeated myocardial necrosis, if they develop in the next 2 weeks, "short" markers can be used: sensitivity to creatine phosphokinase, myo­globin, FABP2. The use of a common CK for the diagnosis of MN is not recommended. The positive result of determining the bio­chemical marker of myocardial necrosis is a necessary component of the complex diagnosis of MN.
When taking blood samples to determine biochemical markers of myocardial necrosis, their changes in dynamics are necessarily taken into account. For example, the normal activity of sensitivity to creatine phosphokinase in a sample obtained 3 hours after the onset of the attack is an expected fact, and it does not deny the di­agnosis of developing MN. Therefore, during the first day, blood tests for biochemical markers of myocardial necrosis should be taken repeatedly, for example, with an interval of 4—6 hours (this does not apply to the definition of troponins). Moreover, the de­termination of the concentration of troponin or sensitivity to crea­tine phosphokinase in a sample taken deliberately earlier than the time when they can be expected to increase can be considered jus-

tified: this gives the necessary reference point. When analyzing the replicates, a curve can be obtained that reflects a typical pattern of increasing and then decreasing the concentration (activity) of markers. This is necessary not only to clarify the diagnosis of MN itself, but also to detect the recurrence of MI.
The concentration of cardiac troponin in the blood can increase not only with MI, but also with other heart lesions and even extra­cardiac diseases. More often, this is observed when using modern highly sensitive test systems.
Therefore, the "golden rule" — the diagnosis of MN is estab­lished on the basis of a set of data and taking into account the clini­cal picture of the disease — retains its strength when using such markers of myocardial necrosis as cardiac troponins.
SITUATIONAL TASKS
Clinical case
1
In patient C. 52 years old, who is being treated in the cardiolo­gy department with a diagnosis of CHD: large-hour myocardial infarction of the anterior wall of the left ventricle with pathological tooth Q, a weakening of the I tone of the heart is detected with aus­cultation of the heart.
Questions:
1. In what phases of the heart cycle is the I tone of the heart
formed, what components of the I tone?
2. Which tone I component is weakened and why?
3. What are the signs of pathological Q wave, clinical interpre-
tation?
Answer:
1. The I tone of the heart is formed in the phase of isovolumet­ric ventricular contraction (muscle and valvular components) and in the phase of expulsion (vascular component).
12
Topic 1. Cardiac pathophysiology
2. The muscular component of tone I is weakened due to the fact that necrosis of a vast area of the myocardium has occurred and the contractility of the myocardium is significantly reduced.
3. Pathological wave Q by amplitude > of its corresponding wave R. This implies necrosis > 50
% of myocardial thickness, i. e.
large-frequency myocardial infarction.
Clinical case
2
In patient M., 52 years old, complaints of bouts of sternal pain, compressive and compressive nature, provoked by physical activity (walking 500 m, climbing the stairs to the 2 floor), irradiating into the left arm, stopped by taking 1 tablets of nitroglycerin for 1—3 mi­nutes. At the time of the attack when walking, the patient "freezes." From the history of the disease: the above complaints worry for a year.
Questions:
1. At what stage of the diagnostic search can the diagnosis in
this patient be assumed?
2. What diagnosis can you make to this patient?
3. What is the mechanism of pain in this situation?
Answer:
1. It is possible to make a diagnosis already at the initial stage of the diagnostic search, as a result of interviewing the patient, clarifying complaints and justifying the primary diagnostic hypoth­esis.
2. Primary diagnostic hypothesis: Based on the patient's com­plaints about bouts of pain for the sternum of a pressing and com­pressive nature, with irradiation into the left arm, provoked by physical activity — walking 500 m, climbing the stairs to the 2 floors, stopping with nitroglycerin for 1—3 minutes, "fading" at the time of the attack; as well as a history of the disease — the above complaints worry for a year, we can assume the diagnosis: CHD: stable angina tension.

3. In this case, we are talking about anginous coronary pain due to atherosclerotic damage to the coronary vessels: rigidity of the walls of the vessels and narrowing of their lumen due to the forma­tion of atherosclerotic plaques.

Patient R., 18 years old, was admitted to the Department of Cardiology with complaints of shortness of breath worsening with physical exertion and in a horizontal position, aching constant pain in the heart area, not relieved by nitroglycerin, palpitations, a feel­ing of heart failure, an increase in body temperature to subfebrile numbers in the evening. From the history of the disease: a month ago he suffered follicular sore throat. 2 weeks after the sore throat, he began to note pain in the heart, progressive shortness of breath. From the history of life: heredity is burdened: the mother has rheu­matic heart disease.
Objective: general condition of moderate severity. The con­sciousness is clear, the position is preferably orthopneous. Acrocy­anosis is noted. Dyspnea of inspiratory nature. From the cardiovas­cular system: the pulse is arrhythmic, rapid, frequency 95 per mi­nute. Apical shock low, weak, low resistance. The extension of the boundaries of the heart is predominantly to the left. Auscultatory: HR 95 per minute. Heart tones are muted, arrhythmic (there are extraordinary contractions with a subsequent compensatory pause), a "gallop rhythm" is heard, systolic noise at the I point of ausculta­tion of a functional nature. Emphasis of tone II on point III of aus­cultation.

°C), gait change, impaired handwriting, the appearance of
involuntary movements of the face and hands, mood lability.
Medical history: 1 month ago suffered a sore throat. She was treated at home. After the resumption of education at school, teachers noted a deterioration in handwriting, an increased lability of mood. In the future, gait disturbance, twitching with the hands and head, sometimes — involuntary protrusion of the tongue. In the evening, an increase in body temperature to subfebrile numbers was noted.
History of life: it is known that in childhood it grew and de­veloped normally. Parents and younger brother are healthy. He studies in the 9th grade of the school. As a child, she suffered chic­kenpox, mumps.

Patient I., 39 years old, a painter, complained of shortness of breath of a mixed nature, with minor physical exertion, increasing in a horizontal position, heart palpitations, heart outages, swelling of the lower legs and feet, dry cough.
Medical history: he fell ill acutely, when the temperature rose to 37.8
°C, a dry cough appeared, in connection with which he
turned to the local doctor. A diagnosis was made: ARVI. He re­ceived antibiotic and anti-starker therapy with no clinical effect. Over the next 12 days, the patient's condition progressively wors­ened — shortness of breath appeared, of a mixed nature, which progressed, swelling on the lower extremities.
History of life: smokes 10 cigarettes a day for 10 years. He underwent surgery: removal of part of the left lung in 1993 for tu­berculosis.
Objective data: moderate condition. Skin with jaundice tint, sclera icteric, cyanotic lips. Wet wheezing is heard in the lungs against the background of hard breathing in the lower parts. RR (respiratory rate) 26 per minute. The boundaries of relative dull­ness of the heart are increased to the left by 2 cm. The tones of the heart are muted, rhythmic, weakening of 1 tone at the top of the heart and at the Botkin-Erb point, the accent is 2 tones above the
