[Gouty heart defects].
The authors revealed heart failure in 7 of 216 patients with gout. Two of them showed isolated mitral valve insufficiency and two patients aortal insufficiency while combined aortal disease, combination of mitral and aortal insufficiency and combined mitral valve disease with aortal insufficiency occurred each in 1 patient. One could not find distinct dependence between the clinical variant of the course of gout and development of a definite heart failure. Clinical and electrocardiographic signs of the revealed kinds of cardiac abnormalities are described. The morphological changes of the valves are described on the basis of 2 autopsy cases. The possible mechanism of development of podagric heart failures is discussed.
