title: [The peculiarties of nitric oxide synthesis in patients after coronary bypass surgery].
abstract: Nitric oxide (NO) participates in many physiological processes including those taking place in the cardiovascular system. The peculiarities of NO synthesis in patients after coronary bypass surgery were studied. The systems of NO generation responded in different ways. Changes in the levels of end-products of NO metabolism may be used as an additional prognostic criterion of the course of the postoperative period. The study found a direct correlation between the levels of end-products of NO metabolism and left ventricular ejection fraction as well as a reverse correlation between the level of end-products of NO metabolism and atherogenic lipids.
