Abstract
Systemic and topical markers of cardiovascular remodeling were determined in individuals with a history of smoking and early stages of arterial hypertension (AH) and COPD by assessing serum levels of growth factors (TGF-β, VEGF, ST-2 protein) and endothelin, as well as duplex scanning of the carotid arteries and strain echocardiography. Of the studied systemic markers of cardiovascular remodeling in the early stages of COPD and hypertension in active smokers VEGF and ET-1 are the most significant determinants. Despite the absence of differences in lipid metabolism between the examined groups, it is smokers with COPD and hypertension who have more pronounced signs of atherosclerosis in carotid arteries. Also, in the early stages of COPD and AH, disorders of local myocardial contractility are observed. Topical changes in vessels of the elastic type and myocardium in smokers with COPD and AH have a relationship in smokers of all groups with ST2 content, in patients with COPD and AH with VEGF levels.
