METHOD FOR DETERMINING RISK OF CORONARY ARTERY ATHEROSCLEROSIS IN PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM DIABETES MELLITUS ACCOMPANIED BY CARDIOVASCULAR DISORDERS

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, and can be used in cardiology, endocrinology, functional diagnostics and can find application in diagnostics and selecting a therapeutic approach to ischemic heart disease. The following risk factors are detected in the patients suffering from diabetes mellitus accompanied by cardiovascular disorders: blood plasma glucose, glycated haemoglobin (HbAlc), total blood plasma cholesterol, blood plasma low density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood pressure, load St segment depression, signs of carotid wall thickening, an ankle-brachial index and brachial endothelium-dependent vasodilatation as shown by the Doppler ultrasound, duration of diabetes mellitus; the derived values are scored. The derived scored values are summed up, and a risk of coronary artery atherosclerosis is stated to be low, moderate, high or very high.;EFFECT: method enables determining the risk of coronary artery atherosclerosis in the patients suffering from diabetes mellitus accompanied by cardiovascular disorders by assessing the clinical laboratory values and conducting instrumental tests, including electrocardiography, Doppler ultrasound and coronary angiography.;1 tbl, 2 ex
