The aim of the study: An attempt to assess relative roles of common risk factors of coronary artery disease (CAD) and sex hormones in the pathogenesis of CAD in young menstruating women (W).Materials: CAD-W group: 52 W in the age of 38–48 years with angiographically proven critical changes in coronary arteries. 38 of them suffered from myocardial infarction. H-W group: 15 healthy W in the age of 35–45 years.Methods: In al...

Aim: To assess possible changes in concentrations (conc) of hormones in men (M) suffering from metabolic syndrome (MS) which may be involved in pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD).Materal: CAD-M group: 33 M with MS and CAD in the age 51,5±6,4 years with angiographically defined CAD. 14 of them were normoglycemic, 19 with impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes mellitus t. II. H-M group: 13 healthy M in the same age.Me...
