PARAMETERS OF CENTRAL AND INTRACARDIAC HAEMODYNAMICS IN WOMEN WITH THYROID HYPERPLASIA AND ACALCULOUS CHOLECYSTITIS.

OBJECTIVE

Aim: The study aimed to investigate some parameters of functional status of central and intracardiac haemodynamics in women with thyroid hyperplasia and acalculous cholecystitis.

PATIENTS AND

METHODS

Materials and

Methods

Functional changes of haemodynamic status in women with thyroid hyperplasia and acalculous cholecystitis were investigated. All data are obtained through general and special clinical methods, standard and special laboratory methods of examination, physiological, biochemical and statistical methods. Parameters of central and intracardiac haemodynamics have been recorded by the method of two-dimensional M-mode echocardiography in the echo chamber "Toshiba-140" (Japan) at the resting state.

RESULTS

Results

An increase in heart rate (by 45.6%) was observed in patients, which led to decreased duration of cardiac cycle and ejection time. Statistically significant (p<0.05, 11.7% on average) increase in total peripheral vascular resistance was indicated. Dynamics of changes of parameters of central and intracardiac haemodynamics indicates different parallel existing pathways of secondary disturbances in the part of cardiovascular system. A significant increase in peripheral vascular resistance associated with decreased elasticity (increased vascular rigidity) of the arteries is the element of concentric type of left ventricular hypertrophy. The increase in volume in the absence of vasospastic reactions and increasing venous tone is an element of eccentric hypertrophy.

CONCLUSION

Conclusions

It is possible to talk about the presence of systolic dysfunction in patients, which, however, is predominantly of functional character. The revealed specific changes in homeostatic haemodynamic characteristics in the women's body with thyroid hyperplasia and acalculous cholecystitis require the development of new, more effective and preferably drug-free (due to liver pathology and detoxification dysfunction) approaches to medical treatment of such patients.
