etiology. Complication of CHF 2 B, CHF 3.
2. Additional studies:
— EchoCG, renal ultrasound. Liver ultrasound;
— Urine according to Nechiporenko;
— Blood biochemistry: bilirubin, transaminases over time (AsaT, AlaT), blood glucose, lipidogram, protein fractions study, blood creatinine;
— Hepatitis B virus markers, C;
— If myocardial biopsy with histological examination is neces­sary.
Comment: clinical data — acute, clear association with viral infection, lack of antibiotic effect, clinical signs of heart failure,

inflammatory blood reaction and C — reactive protein (+), elevated transaminases, changes in the heart and lungs according to X-ray and ECG (sinus tachycardia, negative T teeth) indicate severe my­ocardial damage and CHF. Increased levels of AST and ALT, dys­protenemia in the blood (decrease in the ratio of albumin/globulin), changes according to EchoCG (decrease in EF, dilation of cavities, etc.) make it possible to reliably verify the diagnosis.
Clinical case

Patient N., 55 years old, a teacher, was taken by ambulance to the reception department with complaints of intense pressing pains behind the sternum with irradiation in the left shoulder, lasting for
1.5 hours, not relieved by nitroglycerin, for cardiac interruptions, sharp general weakness, cold sticky sweat.
History: the day before I worked too hard physically in the country. For 4—5 years, she notes attacks of compressive pain be­hind the sternum during fast walking, lasting 3—5 minutes, pass­ing at rest and from taking nitroglycerin.
Objectively: the condition is severe, the skin is pale, acrocya­nosis, the palms are wet. Pulse 96 per minute, irregular. BP — 90/60 mm Hg. The boundaries of the heart are widened to the left by 1.5 cm. Tones are deaf, arrhythmic. In the lungs, vesicular breathing. The abdomen is soft, painless. The liver is not palpable.
Laboratory and instrumental data:
ECG: The rhythm is sinus, incorrect. HR 115 per minute,
polytope extrasystoles. Left ventricular hypertrophy. S-T segment down from isoline, deep negative T wave in I, II, AVL, V3-V6 tho­racic leads

Topic 1. Cardiac pathophysiology
Questions:
1. Make a preliminary diagnosis.
2. Draw up a follow-up plan.
Answer:
1. Preliminary diagnosis: CHD, Acute coronary syndrome. Dif-
ferentiate between unstable angina and myocardial infarction.
2. Additional examination plan: complete blood count over time, ECG over time, blood clotting, repeat blood test for tropo­nins, blood glucose, chest X-ray, EchoCG, Holter-ECG. Consider the need for coronarography.
Comment: clinical picture (long-term pain behind the sternum, not relieved by nitroglycerin, ECG changes indicating subendocar­dial myocardial injury indicate the development of ACS with the possible development of myocardial infarction. In the first hours, the troponin test is negative, which does not exclude myocardial infarction. Troponin test should be repeated after 6 hours and ECG dynamics. To clarify the diagnosis and determine the parameters of the functional state of the myocardium, while stabilizing the state, it is advisable to conduct EchoCG. In the presence of a specialized cardiac surgery department, coronary imaging is performed in or­der to determine the indications for endovascular surgical treat­ment.

Patient Ch., 61, artist, complained of paroxysmal pain behind the sternum and in the left half of the chest, irradiating into the hands, which arise during physical exertion, passing at rest for 3—4 minutes. Nitrates were not taken.
History: since childhood, he was registered with a rheumato­logist with a diagnosis: rheumatism with mitral heart disease. Heart pains began to bother 2 years ago with physical activity.
Objectively: The condition is satisfactory. Skin and mucous membranes of normal color. In the lungs, vesicular breathing. The

boundaries of relative dullness of the heart are expanded to the left by 1.5 cm. Heart tones are muted, rhythmic. HR — 76 per minute. BP 105/60 mm Hg.
Additional studies: ECG at rest — sinus rhythm with a heart rate of 70 per minute. There are no ischemic signs. Clinical analy­sis of blood and urine without pathology. Blood cholesterol
5.79 mmol/L.
On EchoCG: myocardial hypertrophy was not detected, con­tractile function was normal (EF — 60
%), mitral valve insuffi-
ciency 1 st.
Questions:
1. Make a preliminary diagnosis.
2. Make a follow-up plan to verify the diagnosis.
Answer:
1. Preliminary diagnosis: IDC, tension angina 2—3 FC.
2. Additional studies required:
Bicycle ergometry, if the difficulties are Holter-ECG, lipido­gram, blood glucose. If necessary, coronarography.
Comment: According to the clinical picture, there is latent cor­onary insufficiency, which can be verified by dosed exercise on the ECG using Veloergometry or Holter-ECG, which will identify is­chemic signs that are not detected at rest. Lipidogram and glucose determination will make it possible to clarify the severity of ather­osclerosis and exclude the severity of CHD with diabetes mellitus. Severe angina 3—4 Class, especially if the therapy is ineffective, coronary angina and endovascular surgical treatment.

Topic 1. Cardiac pathophysiology
History: Over the past year, notes a heartbeat sensation, more often during the load. These episodes were transient and took place on their own at rest. When analyzing the outpatient card over the past 2 years, a repeatedly increased cholesterol content was noted (7.6 mmol/L — low-density lipoproteins prevail). On the ECG filmed a month ago: the rhythm is sinus, correct. Left atrial and left ventricular hypertrophy.
Objective: moderate condition, acrocyanosis of the lips, hy­persthenic type of addition. In the lungs, breathing is vesicular, in the lower parts there is a small number of silent moist wheezing. RR (respiratory rate) 22 per minute. The left border of the heart is along the midclavicular line. BP — 150/100 mm Hg. The pulse on the radial arteries is arrhythmic, the frequency is 102 per minute. The pulse deficit 6 at 1 minute. The tones of the heart at the apex have inconsistent sonority, are arrhythmic, heart rate — 112 per minute. The abdomen is soft, painless. The liver was not enlarged.

Examination of the fundus — atherosclerosis of the retinal ves­sels.
Questions:
1. Make a preliminary diagnosis.
2. Plan an additional survey.
Answer:
1. Preliminary diagnosis: CHD, arrhythmic variant by atrial fi­brillation type (atrial fibrillation), paroxysmal form. Complication: CHF 2 "A," CHF — NYHA PK 2.
2. Follow-up plan: daily Holter monitoring, endocrinologist consultation, EchoCG, lipidogram.

Pathophysiology of breathing and cardiovascular pathology
Comment: Clinical findings reveal cardiac rhythm abnormali­ties that are pathogenetically associated with atherosclerosis and CHD. For a reliable diagnosis, it is necessary to register episodes of arrhythmia using daily monitoring of the ECG study Holter, be­cause on a separately removed ECG, it does not detect rhythm dis­turbances, EchoCG in order to clarify the condition of the valve apparatus and determine the size of the left atrium. To exclude thy­roid pathology — consultation with an endocrinologist, lipidogram to clarify the severity of atherosclerosis.

Patient K., 50 years old, architect, entered the cardiology de­partment with complaints of severe headaches in the occipital re­gion of a pulsating nature, accompanied by nausea, single vomit­ing, dizziness, the appearance of a "net" in front of the eyes.
History: Headaches are noted for many years, more often in the morning or after psycho-emotional tension. I did not seek med­ical help. The last attack of headaches arose suddenly against the background of satisfactory well-being. Before that he was on a business trip, worked hard.
Objective: Moderate condition. The patient is somewhat excit­ed, frightened. The skin is clean, high humidity, hyperemia of the face and neck is noted. Vesicular breathing in the lungs, no whee­zing. NPV 18 per minute. Pulse — tense, frequent — 92/min. BP — on the right hand — 195/100 mm Hg., on the left — 200/100 mm Hg. The borders of the heart — the left — 1.5 cm outward from the left midclavicular line. The heart tones are sonorous, rhythmic, the accent of P tone on the aorta. HR — 92/ min. The abdomen is soft, painless. The liver was not enlarged. Pasternatsky's symptom is ne­gative. There are no edema.

ECG: the electrical axis of the heart deflected to the left, HR 78 per minute. Signs of left ventricular hypertrophy with systolic overload. Troponin test negative
Questions:
1. Make a preliminary diagnosis.
2. What is your screening plan?
Answer:
1. Preliminary diagnosis: Stage II hypertension. Risk 4 (very
high). Hypertensive crisis type 1.
2. Additional examination plan: ECG over time, EchoCG, lip­idogram, blood creatinine, daily blood pressure monitoring, consul­tation with an ophthalmologist, neurologist. To confirm hyperten­sive encephalopathy — CT.
Comment: hypertensive crisis uncomplicated type 1, clinically characterized by a triad of signs: headache, dizziness, nausea (vomiting) combined with a sudden increase in BP to high digits.
Additional research methods reveal the main sign: left ven­tricular hypertrophy, indicating hypertensive disease, and the con­dition of the vessels of the ocular day — on the development of hypertensive retinopathy. The neurologist determines the indica­tions for CT.
