Материал и методы. Прогностическая значимость структурно-функциональных параметров ЛП, уровней мозгового натрийуретического пептида (МНУП), NT-проМНУП и высокочувствительного С-реактивного белка (СРБ) изучена у 128 больных (возраст 63,2±1,7) с ХСН III-IV функционального классов по классификации NYHA с сохранной систолической функцией ЛЖ (фракция выброса [ФВ] ЛЖ&gt;50%). Результаты. В течение в среднем 37±0,8 месяцев от сердечных причин умерло 43 (33,6%) больных. При анализе по Каплану-Майеру выживаемость больных с уровнем МНУП≥300 пг/мл и NT-про-МНУП&gt;1500 пг/мл и СРБ≥15 нг/мл левое предсердие у больных с хсн составила, соответственно, 62, 63 и 64%, а с уровнем МНУП&lt;300 пг/мл, NT-про-МНУП&lt;1500 пг/мл и СРБ&lt;15 нг/мл,- 85, 86 и 84% (р&lt;0,01). Сходная выживаемость (р&lt;0,01) наблюдалась у больных с КЭЛП≥40 кдин/см/сек (87%), ФОактЛП≥25% (82%), ФИЛП ≥0,4 (86%), ФПС≥50 (84%), СВЛВ≥60% (87%), S/D фракцией≥55% (83%), Аrdur≤150 мс (81%) и разницей Ar-A≤-30 мс (87%) по сравнению с больными с КЭЛП&lt;40 кдин/см/сек (62%), ФОактЛП&lt;25% (65%), ФИЛП&lt;0,4 (63%), ФПС&lt;50 (65%), СВЛВ&lt;60% (63%), S/D фракцией&lt;55% (63,5%), Ardur&gt;150 мс (63%) и разницей Ar-A&gt;-30 мс (62%), соответственно. Выводы. 1) Функциональные параметры ЛП являются строгими независимыми предикторами выживаемости больных с сохранной систолической функцией ЛЖ. 2) Распределение больных с сохранной систолической функцией ЛЖ в соответствии с пограничными значениями уровней МНУП &lt;300 и ≥300 пг/мл, NT-проМНУП &lt;1500 и ≥1500 пг/мл и СРБ&lt;15 и ≥15 нг/мл позволяет идентифицировать (р&lt;0,01) больных с низким и высоким риском сердечной смерти.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The aim of study was to assess prognostic significance of left atrial (LA) functional parameters and levels of biomarkers in patients (pts) with severe chronic heart failure (CHF) and preserved left ventricular (LV) systolic function. Methods. Prognostic value of LA functional parameters, levels of BNP., NT-proBNP and high sensitivity C reactive protein (CRP) was assesed in 128 pts (age 63.2±1.7) with III-IV NYHA functional calss CHF and preserved LV systolic function (LV EF &gt;50%). Results. During 37±0.8 months from cardiac causes died 43 (33.6%) pts. In Kaplan-Mayer analisys survival rate was 62, 63 и 64% in pts with levels of BNP &gt;300 pg/ml, NT-proBNP ≥1500 pg/ml and CRP≥15 ng/ml and 85, 86 и 84% (p&lt;0.01) in pts with levels of BNP&lt;300 pg/ml, NT-proBNP&lt;1500 pg/ml and CRP&lt;15 ng/ml. Similar survival (p&lt;0.01) was revealed in pts with LAKE≥40 kdyn/sm/sec (87%), EFakt≥25% (82%), LAF≥0.4 (86%), FAC≥50 (84%), PVSC≥60% (87%), S/D fraction≥55% (83%), Аrdur≤150 msec 30 msec (87%) compared to pts with LAKE&lt;40 kdyn/sm/sec (62%), EFakt&lt;25% (65%), LAFI&lt;0.4 (63%), FAC&lt;50 (65%), PVSC&lt;60% (63%), S/D fraction&lt;55% (63,5%), Аrdur&gt;150 msec (63%) и Ar-A&gt;-30 msec (62%), respectively. Conclusions: 1) LA functional parameters are powerfull independent predictors in pts with CHF and preserved LV systolic function. 2) Distribution of pts according to baseline levels of BNP &lt;300 and ≥300 pg/ml, NT-pro-BNP &lt;1500 and ≥1500 pg/ml and hsCRP &lt;15 and ≥15 ng/ml allowed to identify (p&lt;0.01) pts with low and high risk of cardias death.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>хроническая сердечная недостаточность</kwd><kwd>прогноз</kwd><kwd>левое предсердие</kwd><kwd>легочные вены</kwd><kwd>диастолическая функция</kwd><kwd>мозговой натрийуретический пептид</kwd><kwd>NT-промозговой на-трийуретический пептид высокочувствительный С-реактивный белок</kwd><kwd>chronic heart failure</kwd><kwd>prognosis</kwd><kwd>left atrium</kwd><kwd>pulmonary vein</kwd><kwd>diastolic function</kwd><kwd>BNP</kwd><kwd>NT-proBNP</kwd><kwd>high sensitivity C reactive protein</kwd><kwd>ivabradine</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Stefanadis C., Dernellis J., and Toutouzas P A clinical appraisal of left atrial function.
