Изучить взаимосвязь коронарной микроваскулярной дисфункции (КМД) с уровнями про- и противовоспалительных биомаркеров у пациентов с сохраненной фракцией выброса и необструктивным поражением коронарных артерий (КА).</p></sec><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. В исследование включено 118 пациентов (70 мужчин, средний возраст 62,0 [58,0; 69,0] лет) с сохраненной фракцией выброса левого желудочка (62 [59; 64]%) и необструктивным поражением КА. Оценку сывороточных уровней N-концевого промозгового натрийуретического пептида (NT-proBNP), высокочувствительного С-реактивного белка (вчСРБ), интерлейкина (ИЛ)-1β, -6 и -10 выполняли исходно с помощью иммуноферментного анализа. Резерв коронарного кровотока (CFR) оценивали по данным динамической однофотонной эмиссионной компьютерной томографии. CFR ≤2 являлся маркером КМД.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Пациенты были разделены на группы в зависимости от наличия КМД: группа 1 включала больных с КМД (n=45), а группа 2 составила группу контроля и включала больных без КМД (n=73). Концентрации вчСРБ были выше в 1,8 раз (р=0,011) в группе 1 по сравнению с группой 2. Уровни ИЛ-6 значимо не различались между группами (р=0,842), тогда как концентрации ИЛ-10 были ниже на 21,7% (р=0,048), а ИЛ-1β выше в 2,7 раз (р=0,046) в группе 1 по сравнению с группой 2. По данным ROC-анализа концентрации вчСРБ ≥4,8 г/л (AUС=0,655; р=0,012) и NT-proBNP ≥950,6 пг/мл (AUC=0,792; р&lt;0,001) идентифицированы как маркеры, связанные с наличием КМД у больных с необструктивным поражением КА, тогда как уровни ИЛ-1β, 6 и 10 не показали диагностической значимости. Многофакторный регрессионный анализ показал, что наличие диастолической дисфункции (отношение шансов 3,27; 95% доверительный интервал 2,26-5,64; р&lt;0,001) и гиперэкспрессии NT-proBNP ≥950,6 пг/мл (отношение шансов 2,07; 95% доверительный интервал 1,56-4,12; р=0,023) являлись независимыми факторами, связанными с КМД.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Установлено, что у пациентов с необструктивным поражением КА наличие КМД связано с более высокой экспрессией провоспалительных маркеров и снижением экспрессии противовоспалительного маркера, что может подтверждать тот факт, что хроническое воспаление является одним из звеньев патогенеза развития КМД.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim. To study the relationship of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) with the levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory biomarkers in patients with preserved ejection fraction (LVEF) and non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. The study included 118 patients (70 men, mean age, 62,0 [58,0; 69,0] years) with preserved LVEF (62 [59; 64] %) and non-obstructive CAD. Serum levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin-1β, 6, and 10 were assessed initially by enzyme immunoassay. Coronary flow reserve (CFR) was assessed by dynamic single photon emission computed tomography. CFR ≤2 was a CMD marker.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Patients were divided into groups depending on CMD presence: group 1 included patients with CMD (n=45), and group 2 was the control group and included patients without CMD (n=73). HsCRP concentrations were 1,8 times higher (p=0,011) in group 1 compared to group 2. Interleukin-6 levels did not differ significantly between groups (p=0,842), while interleukin-10 concentrations were lower by 21,7 % (p=0,048), and interleukin-1β was 2,7 times higher (p=0,046) in group 1 compared to group 2. According to ROC analysis, hsCRP concentration ≥4,8 g/l (AUC=0,655; p=0,012), and NT-proBNP ≥950,6 pg/ml (AUC=0,792; p&lt;0,001) were identified as markers associated with CMD in patients with non-obstructive CAD, while levels of interleukin-1β, 6 and 10 showed no diagnostic significance. Multivariate regression analysis showed that diastolic dysfunction (odds ratio, 3,27; 95% confidence interval, 2,26-5,64; p&lt;0,001) and NT-proBNP ≥950,6 pg/ml (odds ratio, 2,07; 95% confidence interval, 1,56-4,12; p=0,023) were independent factors associated with CMD.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. We established that in patients with non-obstructive CAD, the pre­sence of CMD is associated with a higher expression of pro-inflammatory markers and a decrease in the expression of an anti-inflammatory marker, which may confirm the fact that chronic inflammation is one of CMD pathogenesis links.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>коронарная микроваскулярная дисфункция</kwd><kwd>воспаление</kwd><kwd>биомаркеры</kwd><kwd>сердечная недостаточность</kwd><kwd>сохраненная фракция выброса</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>coronary microvascular dysfunction</kwd><kwd>inflammation</kwd><kwd>biomarkers</kwd><kwd>heart failure</kwd><kwd>preserved ejection fraction</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Грант Президента Российской Федерации № MK-4257.2022.3</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">Grant of the President of the Russian Federation № MK-4257.2022.3</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Roger VL.
