Abstract
Recently, secondary osteoporosis attracted the attention of many researchers. The paper presents the results of a study of bone remodeling processes in patients with pathology of the cardiovascular system associated with the manifestations of chronic heart failure. Among 114 patients with ischemic heart disease and hypertensive disease with manifestations of chronic heart failure, the study of bone mineral density and bone remodeling markers in serum: osteocalcin and C-terminal telopeptide, formed during the degradation of type I collagen was carried out. The results of osteodensitometry in various areas of the skeleton of examined patients revealed a significant decrease in bone mineral density at the femoral neck compared with the control group. Study of the content of osteocalcin in serum of patients in comparison with the data of the control group demonstrated unsignificant difference. However, when comparing the content of the C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen in serum of patients with data of the control group revealed significant differences. The obtained data proved the formation of osteoporosis as a risk factor for fractures background progressive resorption.
