В настоящий момент метавоспаление рассматривается как один из факторов инициации и развития хронической сердечной недостаточности (ХСН) с сохранённой фракцией выброса. Частым коморбидным состоянием у таких пациентов является саркопеническое ожирение (СОж). Изучение уровня вчСРБ, как маркера метавоспаления, у пациентов с ХСН и СОж является перспективным направлением для клинической медицины.</p></sec><sec><title>   Цель исследования</title><p>   Цель исследования. Определение уровня С-реактивного белка как маркера метавоспаления у пациентов с хронической сердечной недостаточностью и саркопеническим ожирением.</p></sec><sec><title>   Материалы и методы</title><p>   Материалы и методы. 298 пациентам было проведено анкетирование SARC-F (SARCOPENIA-FAST), кистевая динамометрия, биоимпедансометрия, тест «скорость ходьбы на 4 м». Были использованы шкалы клинического статуса (ШОКС), и тест с 6-минутной ходьбой (ТШХ). Изучались фракция выброса, определялся уровень вчСРБ методом ИФА (Сloud-clone, Китай). Пациенты были разделены на 5 групп в зависимости от состава тела — наличия ожирения и саркопении. Статистическая обработка проводилась с использованием пакета IBSS Statistics 25.0.</p></sec><sec><title>   Результаты</title><p>   Результаты. Уровень вчСРБ в группе пациентов с саркопеническим ожирением значимо отличался от показателя в группах пациентов без саркопении, без ожирения и без нарушений состава тела. Значения были сопоставимы в группах пациентов с саркопеническим ожирением и со сниженной массой тела и саркопенией. Также было обнаружено повышение маркера вчСРБ в группе пациентов с саркопеническим ожирением, по сравнению с показателями в группах пациентов только с ожирением или с саркопенией. Функциональный статус пациентов был ниже, что подчёркивает вклад метавоспаления в течение заболевания.</p></sec><sec><title>   Заключение</title><p>   Заключение. Повышение уровня маркера вчСРБ у пациентов с саркопеническим ожирением отражает более тяжёлое течение ХСН.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>   Introduction</title><p>   Introduction. Currently, meta-inflammation is considered a factor in the initiation and development of chronic heart failure (CHF) with preserved ejection fraction. A common comorbid condition in such patients is sarcopenic obesity (SO). The study of the level of CRP, as a marker of metaflammation, in patients with CHF and SO is a promising area for clinical medicine.</p><p>   The aim of the research. Determination of the level of C-reactive protein as a marker of meta-inflammation in patients with chronic heart failure and sarcopenic obesity.</p></sec><sec><title>   Materials and methods</title><p>   Materials and methods. A total of 298 patients underwent a SARC-F (SARCOPENIA-FAST) questionnaire, hand dynamometry, bioimpedance, and a 4-m walking speed test. Clinical status scales (SHOCKS) and a 6-min walking test (6MWT), approved by clinical guidelines and approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, were used. The ejection fraction was studied, and the level of hsCRP was determined by the ELISA method (Cloud-clone, China). The patients were divided into 5 groups depending on their body composition — the presence of obesity and sarcopenia. Statistical processing was performed using the IBSS Statistics 25.0 package.</p></sec><sec><title>   Results</title><p>   Results. The level of hsCRP in the group of patients with sarcopenic obesity significantly differed from the indicator in the groups of patients without sarcopenia, without obesity and without disorders of body composition. The values were comparable in the groups of patients with sarcopenic obesity and those with reduced body weight and sarcopenia. An increase in the hsCRP marker was also found in the group of patients with sarcopenic obesity, compared with the indicators in the groups of patients with obesity or sarcopenia only. The functional status of the patients was lower, which highlights the contribution of metaflammation during the disease course.</p></sec><sec><title>   Conclusion</title><p>   Conclusion. An increase in the level of the hsCRP marker in patients with sarcopenic obesity reflects a more severe course of CHF.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>хроническая сердечная недостаточность</kwd><kwd>саркопеническое ожирение</kwd><kwd>метавоспаление</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>chronic heart failure</kwd><kwd>sarcopenic obesity</kwd><kwd>metaflammation</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Ambroselli D, Masciulli F, Romano E, et al.
