Abstract
Despite the achievements in the detection of calcium deposits in the walls of blood vessels, there is practically no data on the relationship of calcification of the coronary arteries with clinical and laboratory indicators of calcification in the blood, and the mechanisms of this process have not been fully established. The aim of the work was to establish the relationship between the severity of vascular calcification and clinical and laboratory markers of vascular calcification to improve the effectiveness of the diagnosis of diseases of the cardiovascular system and optimize therapy. The data obtained during the study indicate a high prevalence of vascular calcification in patients with atherosclerosis. Estimates of the calcium index and traditional risk factors are not always sufficient to predict cardiovascular complications. Thus, the identification of specific laboratory markers of calcification and predisposition to calcinosis is very relevant at the present time. Studies have shown that atherosclerosis with vascular calcification is combined with the development of chronic systemic inflammation and inflammation of the vascular wall. At the same time, there are elevated levels of C-reactive protein, endothelin, homocysteine, lipid metabolism indicators, and reduced levels of fetuin-A in the blood, which allows us to recommend these laboratory indicators to prevent cardiovascular complications.
