The aim of this work was to compare the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and smoking habits smokingduring a 10-year period and to evaluate the association between metabolic syndrome and smoking habits, and ischemic heart disease among Kaunas men aged 45–64 years. Material and methods. In this study, we have used data from two epidemiological studies, which had been carried out according to the MONICA study protocol (359 men aged 45–64 years were enrolled in 1992–1993 and 408 men aged 45–64 years – in 2001–2002). The association between metabolic syndrome and smoking habits, and ischemic heart disease was established according to the data of 2001–2002 years. Ischemic heart disease was diagnosed based on the following criteria: previous myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, or ischemic changes in electrocardiogram. Metabolic syndrome was defined by Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) criteria. Results. The prevalence of ischemic heart disease did not change among men aged 45–64 years during a 10-year period. During this period, the decreased prevalence of metabolic syndrome was observed; decreased rate of hyperglycemia, decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, increased rate of hypertriglyceridemia, and increased waist circumference were noted. During this period, the proportion of regular male smokers increased significantly. After the evaluation of association between and metabolic syndrome and smoking habits, and ischemic heart disease (according to the data of 2001–2002 years), it was determined that the highest rate of ischemic heart disease was among regular smokers with metabolic syndrome (32.3%), and the lowest rate of ischemic heart disease was noted among men who had never smoked and were without metabolic syndrome (11.6%) (OR=3.63; P=0.013). The highest rate of previous myocardial infarction and/or angina pectoris was determined among regular smokers with metabolic syndrome (19.4%), and the lowest rate of ischemic heart disease was determined among men who had never smoked and were without metabolic syndrome (3.6%) (OR=6.43; P=0.008). Conclusion. Combination of metabolic syndrome and smoking is significantly associated with ischemic heart disease among men aged 45–64 years.

Abstract Serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT) concentrations are frequently increased in chronic dialysis patients as measured by the first-generation ELISA immunoassay, as is creatine kinase (CK) MB mass in the absence of acute ischemic heart disease. We designed this study to compare four serum markers of myocardial injury [CK-MB mass, first-generation ELISA cTnT, second-generation Enzymun cTnT, and cardiac troponin I (cTnI)] in dialysis patients without acute ischemic heart disease. We also evaluated skeletal muscle from dialysis patients as a potential source of serum cTnT. No patients in the clinical evaluation group (n = 24) studied by history and by physical examination, electrocardiography, and two-dimensional echocardiography had evidence of ischemic heart disease. Biochemical markers were measured in serial predialysis blood samples with specific monoclonal antibody-based immunoassays. For several patients at least one sample measured above the upper reference limit: CK-MB, 7 of 24 (30%); ELISA cTnT, 17 of 24 (71%); Enzymun cTnT, 3 of 18 (17%); and cTnI, 1 of 24 (4%). In a separate group of dialysis patients (n = 5), expression of cTnT, but not cTnI, was demonstrated by Western blot analysis in 4 of 5 skeletal muscle biopsies. Chronic dialysis patients without acute ischemic heart disease frequently had increased serum CK-MB and cTnT. The specificity of the second-generation cTnT (Enzymun) assay was improved over that of the first-generation (ELISA) assay; cTnI was the most specific of the currently available biochemical markers. cTnT, but not cTnI, was expressed in the skeletal muscle of dialysis patients.

Magnesium (Mg) and potassium (K) are the major intracellular cations whose presence in the serum are low, but minor changes of those may show a remarkable change in the various body functions specially in the heart. The study was designed to find out the correlation between serum Mg and K in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), chronic ischemic heart disease (CIHD) and normal healthy volunteers. It was carried out over a period of 18 months in the Department of Biochemistry, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) in collaboration with Department of Cardiology, Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital (SSMC & MH) and Atomic Energy Center, Dhaka. A total of 101 subjects were included in which 32 subjects were AMI, 34 CIHD and 35 normal healthy volunteers. Serum glucose and serum creatinine were estimated to exclude diabetes and renal dystrophies. Estimation of serum CK-MB and ECG tracing were done as diagnostic tools of AMI and to categories the subjects into various groups. Serum Mg was estimated by Atomic absorption spectrophotometer and serum K by Ion sensitive electrode. The present study shows that there is a strong positive correlation of serum Mg and K in AMI, CIHD and healthy control subjects (r = 0.566, p<0.01 level). So it is suggested to estimate and supplement both Mg and K in IHD patients for their better management. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjmb.v3i2.13812 Bangladesh J Med Biochem 2010; 3(2): 50-56

Functional Changes

The dynamics of structural and functional changes of the heart developing within three years in patients with ischemic heart disease after myocardial infarction is studied. Some peculiarities of the development of the remodulation process in postinfarctial period are revealed. The changes of the heart structure have a progressive nature. Early prescription of inhibitors of angiotensinconverting enzyme after myocardial infarction to prevent progress of the heart remodulation is advisable.
