In recent years, clinicians have started to study the mechanisms in development of diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle and its influence on the course of coronary artery disease. This is a consequence of increasing number and complexity open heart surgery. In the literature, few data about simultaneous recovery processes of relaxation and contractility after revascularization. In this regard, actual to assess diastolic function of the left ventricle after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and to identify a possible connection with changes in systo­lic function.

Analyzed patterns of formation of adverse health profile of biomedical and socio-behavioral risk, contributing to the development of such mass noncommunicable diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, obesity and diabetes. Based on data from primary records we examined the results of a screening test 2007 people's Health Center in St. Petersburg. Found that the most significant contribution to the quantitative profile of cardiometabolic risk factors contributes increasing BMI (38%) and hypercholesterolemia (36%), less - increase of systolic blood pressure (24%) and hyperglycemia (20%). The number of individual behavioral factors of unhealthy lifestyle has a direct impact on the quantitative profile of biomedical risk factors. Given the commonality of pathogenic effects on the biomedical and social and behavioral risk factors, the main task of training of the population health in schools is to inform about the need to normalize blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, weight, rational nutrition, optimization of physical activity and non-destructive habits to minimize risk of development and progression of non-communicable diseases.

It is now well known that thyroid gland disorder (both excess and lack of thyroid hormones) may signifi­cantly influenced mental status, including emotions and cognition. Both central and peripheral nervous systems are affected. In hyperthyroidism nervous system lesion is associated with thyroid hormone toxic effect, metabo­lism increase and increased sensitivity to catecholamines. This state is manifested in emotional lability, quick transition from depression to euphoria. Different kinds of phobias and panic states may occur. Psychic disorders in hypothyroidism are the result of hypothyroid encephalopathy. Cognitive processes are hindered. Psychiatric diseases following the type of depression and paranoia may occur. In severe hypothyroidism exogenous or­ganic psychosis may develop. And despite all the achievements of euthyreosis patients may continue to have disorders of cognitive functions and emotional-affective distresses.
