There was studied the relationship between polymorphic variants of APOC3 (rs2854117), PON1 (rs854560, rs662), AGT (rs4762, rs699) and AGTR1 (rs5186) genes with the results of cognitive tests in patients with chronic heart failure (СHF) of ischemic genesis and healthy persons. The general group included 50 patients with CHF of II-IV functional classes, the control group - 50 healthy volunteers. Cognitive functions were estimated by 5th and 7th subtests of Wexler and Burdon's test. There was revealed statistically significant correlation between the polymorphism of APOC3, PON1, AGT, AGTR1 genes and the results of cognitive tests in patients with CHF and healthy persons. These data suggest that the polymorphism of the studied genes may be important in the genetic susceptibility to the formation and progression of cognitive disorders.
