ABSTRACT
The study ob]ective was assessment of pathogenetic and prognostic significance of gynecologic and obstetrical pathology and the concentrations of sex steroids in adult women with acute coronaty syndrome (ACS). The study group included 120 postmenopausal women with ACS treated in the Clinic of Cardiology, University Hospital "Alexandrovska" between 2011 and 2013. Sex hormones were measured in 57 patients. Enzyme, electrochemiluminescent, enzyme-linked immunologic and immunoturbodimeric methods were used for the examined indices assessment. The history for gynecologic disorders and pregnancy complications was associated with coronaiy atherosclerotic burden (SYNTAX score - 4,6+/-8,8 vs 8,5+/-9,3, p=0,003), gynecologic history only - with lower 17Beta-estradiol levels (139,01+/-167,66 vs 113,51+/-304,1, p=0,004) and coronaly atherosclerosis severity (5,5+/-9,3 vs 8,0+/-10,3, p=0,058). Abnormally high endogenous concentrations of androgens were found among the patients with ACS with ST elevation, STEMI (27,5% vs 77,8%, p=0,004), with significantly more intense acute infiammatoty response (8,7+/-3,21 vs 11,07+/-2,85, p=0,044 3a WBC) and more extensive acute myocardial damage (57,8+/-12,6 vs 45,3 ml, p=O,OO8 for e]ection fraction 33,7+/-37,4 vs 117+/-144,22 U/L, p=0,031 for CPK-MB; 0,89+/-8 18 vs 1,87+/-0,4 ng/ml, p=0,009 for hsTnT). The gynecologic and obstetrical history and hyperandrogenism are related to the extent and severity of coronary atherosclerosis, occurrence of STEMI, more intense acute inflammatory response and myocardial injury among postmenopausal women with ACS.
