[Postpericardiotomy syndrome: risk factors and methods of diagnosis].
This study was designed to identify major risk factors of PCTS and elucidate the possibility of early laboratory diagnosis of this syndrome for the choice of optimal therapeutic strategy. Retrospective analysis covered medical records of 500 patients who had experienced open heart surgery. Prospective studies included 60 patients of whom 50 had clinical manifestations of PCTS. Risk of its development depended on the severity of the underlying disease and increased after mechanical revascularization of myocardium. Urgency surgical intervention and greater extent of coronary shunting increased the probability of PCTS. Results of the measurement of serum procalcitonin by a highly sensitive method and of relative content of different protein fractions in serum and pleural/pericardial fluid suggest high informative value of these methods as diagnostic tools for PCTS. Preventive treatment with non-steriodal anti-inflammatory agents decreased the incidence of PCTS by 53%.

[Laboratory methods for the diagnosis of postpericardiotomy syndrome].
The paper analyzes the diagnostic value of methods for the laboratory diagnosis of postpericardiotomy syndrome (PPS) in patients who have undergone open heart surgery. The prospective study included 63 patients, of whom 53 had the clinical manifestations of PPS. Ultrasensitive assay of serum procalcitonin and the determination of relative albumin levels in pleural and pericardial fluids are noted to be of high diagnostic value.
