title: [Blood vasopressin and the kallikrein-kinin system in chronic ischemic heart disease].
abstract: The blood vasopressin content and kinin system activity were studied in 83 patients with chronic ischemic heart disease of various severity. It was established that the blood vasopressin concentration increases with an increase in the severity of the disease. A high degree of correlation between changes in vasopressin content and in components of the kinin system was revealed: increase in the concentration of vasopressin is attended by activation of the kallikrein-kinin system. The mechanisms of the interrelationship of the vasopressin and kinin content are discussed. It is suggested that vasopressin may play a role in the pathogenesis of chronic ischemic heart disease.
