Gender differences in the risk factors' influence on the development of cardiovascular diseases determine the study of the pathogenetic causes of these features. Inflammatory is one of the mechanisms for the participation of risk factors in the development of hypertension. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between inflammatory biomarkers with hypertension and cardiovascular risk factors in men. The study included 60 men with hypertension who were divided into groups depending on the risk of cardiovascular events: 30 men with low risk and 30 men with high risk. 86 hypertensive patients with risk factors such as obesity, impaired glucose metabolism, impaired lipid metabolism also were examined. Biochemical parameters and a wide range of cytokines: IL-4, IL - 8, IL-10, IL-12, IL-17, IL-18, TGF-β, TNF-α, IFN-γ were estimated. The obtained results were compared with echocardiographic (EchoCG), ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), duplex scanning of the carotid arteries. A direct correlation between the risk factors and target organs' damage - left ventricular hypertrophy, increased intima-media complex thickness, was revealed. The dependence of cytokine profile from risk of cardiovascular events in men was also revealed. We studied the contribution of individual risk factors in men in the development of hypertension and the severity of inflammation. More significant changes in the cytokine profile observed in patients with concomitant hyperglycemia, obesity and dyslipidemia. A correlation between cytokine profile and duration of hypertension also revealed. Correlation analysis revealed the relationship between ABPM parameters and levels of interleukins, HS-CRP, and fibrinogen. Biomarkers of inflammation associated with the severity of visceral obesity, with a BMI. Analysis of results also showed the relationship between hyperinsulinemia or insulin resistance and inflammatory biomarkers. The relationship of inflammation with lipid metabolism in hypertensive men was more significant than with the other studied risk factors.
