Introduction. Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the main cause of disability and mortality among working-age people. A significant part of stable angina patients are patients with intermediate (40–70%) coronary artery stenosis. Aim. To study cardiovascular risk factors and make a comparative assessment of the clinical angiographic picture and vascular stiffness in stable angina patients with intermediate coronary artery stenosis, depending on the chronological age / biological age ratio, as well as to determine the level of long-term metabolites of nitric oxide (NO) – nitrites (NO2) . Materials and methods. 40 stable angina class I–III patients (36 men) aged 33–68 years with intermediate coronary artery stenosis were examined. Depending on the values of the chronological age / biological age coefficient (K), the patients were divided into two groups. The 1st group included patients with a biological age exceeding the passport age (K < 1.0 [0.53; 0.98]), the 2nd group included patients with a biological age equal or inferior to the chronological age (K ≥ 1.0 [1.1; 1.5], p < 0.01 ). Results. Stable angina patients with intermediate coronary artery stenosis represent a rather challenging group of people in terms of prognosis. Patients with increased biological age are characterized by an unfavorable course of the disease and a less favorable cardiometabolic profile compared to patients whose biological age corresponded to the chronological one. At the same time, the level of long-term metabolites of nitric oxide (NO) – nitrites (NO2) in plasma did not depend on the biological age of patients. Conclusion. The study of the biological age and level of long-term metabolites of nitric oxide (NO) – nitrites (NO2)in stable CAD patients with intermediate coronary artery stenosis is of great interest and requires further research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
