ФУНКЦИОНАЛЬНОЕ СОСТОЯНИЕ МИОКАРДА У ЛИЦ МОЛОДОГО ВОЗРАСТА КОРЕЙСКОЙ И ЕВРОПЕЙСКОЙ ЭТНИЧЕСКОЙ ПРИНАДЛЕЖНОСТИ

Abstract

Objective: The assessment of the impact of general main factors on the functional status of myocardium among adolescents of Korean and European ethnic groups living in Primorsky region territory. Methods: 90 conditionally healthy people from 30 to 49 years old were examined. 50 of them were ethnically Korean, 40 belonged to European group. Such parameters as blood pressure, weight and height, waist were measured and echocardiography was taken. Statistical analysis was carried out using StatTech 1.1.0 software. Results : There were no differences in age groups, sex, percentage of smokers, body mass index and cardiologic indicators found. Among the representatives of Korean ethnic group the development of arterial hypertension and obesity was caused by a significant decrease of the global strain of left ventricular, whereas such relation wasn’t identified among Europeans. In both ethnic groups arterial hypertension was associated with diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricular, but only among Koreans the connection between dysfunction and obesity was observed. Conclusions: The same risk factors influence myocardial functional state on different levels among people from different ethnic groups at a young age. Monitoring of the left ventricular global longitudinal strain can be recommended to reveal preclinical myocardial injuries among people belonging to Korean ethnic group having arterial hypertension and obesity.
