Mineral'naya plotnost' kosti do i posletransplantatsii serdtsa

Abstract

There were analysed bone mineral density (BMD) and spine roentgenograms in 15 candidates to heart transplantation and 24 recipients of heart transplantation in early (till 1 year) as far as late (till 12 years) period following operation. BMD showed axial osteopenia in terminal heart failure and early period after heart transplantation. There was progressive fail of axial and hip BMD in late period following heart transplantation to the degree of osteoporosis (axial osteoporosis was 3 times more often in late then in early period after operation while femur osteoporosis was only in late period). Femur BMD in neck, trochanter and Ward triangle inverse correlated with cumulated prednisolone dose. Ward triangle BMD inverse correlated with cumulative cyclosporine dose while axial BMD did not correlate any immunosuppressive drug. Vertebra fractures arised in terminal heart failure and did not progress after heart transplantation.
