Introduction:The Persian Registry Of cardioVascular diseasE (PROVE) aimed to study the demographic, clinical, diagnosis and treatment of patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and to follow them for 1 to 3 years, looking for short-and long-term outcomes. PROVE started in Isfahan in 2014 to test the feasibility of its implementation for later national dissemination. Therefore, we aimed to explain its design, methodology, development, validity of protocols and questionnaires of each CVD and its quality control (QC) design Methods: PROVE feasibility study is an observational (descriptive and analytical) open-label registry that collects patient's data in hospitals or at population level, and follows them for between 1 to 3 years. Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), stroke, atrial fibrillation (AF), heart failure(HF); congenital heart disease (CHD), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and recently, chronic ischemic cardiovascular disease (CICD) were enrolled. Four types of registered CVD (AF, STEMI, HF, CICD) had joined the European observational Research Programme (EORP). ACS and stroke registry started back in 1999 in the surveillance unit of Isfahan Cardiovascular Research Institute (ICRI) using the WHO MONICA (Multinational MONItoring of trends and determinants in CArdiovascular disease) protocol. Physicians and nurses who worked in each registry, received multiple training sessions based on the design of the registry. The development and validity of questionnaires, protocols, data collection, entry and management, and its analysis are supervised by a well-established QC protocol. Results: PROVE subtypes followed different approaches. ACS, STEMI, stroke, HF and CICD are hospital based while AF and CHD are population based. The validity of questionnaires was performed by a QC committee before starting registry. More than 900 questionnaires of HF and 800 of STEMI, 350 of AF, 800 of stroke, more than 1000 of CHD and PCI and 9 of CICD were registered and all its data were managed by mid-September 2016. Using the WHO MONICA method for ACS and stroke since the year 1999, there were more than 150,000 and 37,000 patients registered and followed respectively. The follow up frequency, duration and method was different according to type of disease registry. The case report forms (CRFs) of AF, STEMI, HF, and CICD were sent to the EORP site. Conclusion: PROVE implementation is feasible and can be considered as a valuable source of valid data to improving the management, treatment, prevention and control of patients with CVD. The data can be later used by policy makers and for future research
Since the establishment of the anthracycline drugs cardiotoxigenic effect, the most widely accepted mechanistic base for their iatrogenic cardiotoxicity was connected with excessive and inadequate intensification of LPO. However, ineffectiveness of the antioxidant and multivitamin regimens of cardio-protection caused the necessity of finding new pathogenic targets, exposure to which will prevent the development of cardiovascular symptoms. Such a target became the nuclear topoisomerases, the study results of which served as the foundation for the creation of dexrazoxan, the only drug with this regard approved by the FDA. However, our interest was attracted towards the mitochondrial topoisomerases, since the integrity of the mitochondrial apparatus of cardiomyocytes is the basic link in maintaining the physiological morpho-functional balance of cardiomyocytes. At the same time, it is established that in the cell doxorubicin is predominantly accumulated in the mitochondria, which also makes emphasizes onto the prospects of studying this issue. Purpose Purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of AC mode of chemotherapy (adriamicin (doxorubicin) + cyclophosphomide) on the mitochondrial topoisomerases levels. Methods 60 inbred mice of the C57BL/6J line with genotype a,H-2b were used. The experimental animals were divided into 2 groups: in the first group polychemotherapy in AC mode was applied; in the second group (placebo group) saline solution was used. Doxorubicin (Sigma Aldrich) was administered at a dose of 4 mg/kg and cyclophosphamid (Sigma Aldrich) at a dose of 2 mg/kg were administered intravenously. There were 4 courses conducted with the intervals of 21 days between them. The study results were recorded in 6 days after the last cycle of chemotherapy. The total duration of experiment was 90 days. The following types of topoisomerases have been studied: Top2β, Top3α, and Top1mt. Results The results of the first group showed a decrease in the Top2β level by 2.4±0.4%, Top3α - by 0.7±0.5, and Top1mt - by 49.5±11.7% (p=0.05). When analyzing the results of the second group no statistically significant changes were recorded. Conclusion The fact of AC mode of chemotherapy administered should be taken as a predictor of destabilization of the mitochondrial topoisomerases signaling, in particular of the Top1mt, which in turn, causes the development of mitochondrial dysfunction and results the energy imbalance in cardiomyocytes.
