The characteristics of heart remodeling in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases ( COPD), associated with coronary heart diseases (CHD) were examined. The changes of structural and functional state of myocardium, intracardiac relationships with associated pathology were under study. The role of blood inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, TNF-a) and the level of cell adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, VCAM-1) in exacerbating myocardial dysfunction was clarified.
