Материал и методы: в процессе открытого клинического исследования были сформированы две группы пациентов с хронической  ишемической болезнью сердца (ХИБС) и бронхиальной астмой (БА). Пациенты I группы (n=43) имели в качестве  сопутствующего заболевания ожирение. Группу II (n=50) составили  пациенты без ожирения. Всем пациентам было проведено общеклиническое  обследование. Оценены результаты холтеровского  суточного мониторирования электрокардиограммы (ХМЭКГ), дуплексного сканирования брахиоцефальных артерий  (ДС БЦА), трансторакальной эхокардиографии (ЭхоКГ), коронароангиографии (КАГ), спирографии. Также оценены результаты биохимического исследования крови. Результаты: для пациентов I группы основными жалобами оказались одышка (84% против 62%, р=0,036) и кашель (65% против 40%, р=0,027) в сравнении с пациентами контрольной группы. По результатам ЭХО-КГ в данной группе выявлены признаки перегрузки левых отделов сердца. Показатель КДО ЛЖ оказался более значимым, чем у пациентов контрольной группы (р=0,034). Толщина МЖП также более значима у пациентов I группы (р=0,022). По результатам УЗИ общей сонной и внутренней сонной артерий выявлены атеросклеротические бляшки у 53% пациентов группы I против 30% (р=0,037) контрольной группы. Согласно данным КАГ, распространённость стеноза ПКА оказалась более значимой у пациентов группы I (56% против 24%, р=0,003). У пациентов группы I по результатам спирометрии выявлено более выраженное снижение показателя ОФВ1 (64,1±6,7 против 66,9±7,1, р=0,042). Заключение: для фенотипа БА с ожирением в сочетании с ХИБС характерны более частые жалобы на кашель как эквивалент удушья при бронхообструктивном синдроме. Также пациенты чаще отмечают одышку как эквивалент боли при стенокардии и, возможно, проявление дыхательной и сердечной недостаточности. Эти клинические особенности фенотипа находят отражение в результатах инструментальных методов обследования: выраженное атеросклеротическое поражение сосудов, признаки перегрузки левых отделов сердца, более значимое снижение показателя ОФВ1.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Objective: to study the clinical characteristics of patients with the phenotype of obese brochial asthma in combination with chronic coronary heart disease. Material and methods: in an open-label  clinical trial, two groups of patients with chronic coronary heart disease (CHD) and bronchial asthma (BA) were formed. Patients of group I (n=43) had obesity as a concomitant disease. Group II (n=50) were non-obese patients. All patients underwent a general clinical examination. The results of Holter’s daily monitoring of the electrocardiogram (HMECG), duplex scanning of the brachiocephalic arteries (BCA DS), transthoracic echocardiography (EchoCG), coronaroangiography (CAG), and spirography  were evaluated. The results of biochemical blood testing were also evaluated. Results: for patients of group I, the main complaints were shortness of breath (84% vs 62%, p=0,036) and cough (65% vs 40%, p=0,027) compared with patients of the control group. According to the results of echo-CG in this group, signs of overload of the left heart were revealed. The LV EDV score was more significant than in the control group (p=0,034). The thickness of IVS is also more significant in patients of group I (p=0,022). Ultrasound of the common carotid and internal carotid arteries revealed atherosclerotic plaques in 53% of patients of group I vs 30% (p=0,037) of the control group. According to CAG, the prevalence of RCA stenosis was more significant in patients of group I (56% vs 24%, p=0,003). In patients of group I, spirometry showed a more pronounced decrease in OFV1 (64,1±6,7 vs 66,9±7,1, p=0,042). Conclusion: the adipose BA phenotype combined with CHD is characterized by more frequent cough complaints as the equivalent of choking  in bronchobstructive  syndrome. Also, patients are more likely to note shortness of breath as the equivalent of angina pain and, possibly, the manifestation of respiratory and heart failure. These clinical features of the phenotype are reflected in the results of instrumental examination methods: pronounced atherosclerotic vascular damage, signs of overload of the left heart, a more significant decrease in the FEV1 rate.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>хроническая ишемическая болезнь сердца</kwd><kwd>бронхиальная астма</kwd><kwd>ожирение</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>chronic coronary heart disease</kwd><kwd>bronchial asthma</kwd><kwd>obesity</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">Chuchalin AG, Khaltaev N, Antonov NS, Galkin DV, Manakov LG, Antonini P, et al.
