title: [Changes in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in elderly patients with chronic ischemic heart disease. 3. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in elderly patients with ischemic heart disease without cardiovascular failure].
abstract: As shown by the results of the investigation, there is a moderate rise in renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activity in the elderly patients suffering from chronic IHK under normal conditions of life: basal level, changes in plasma renin activity and circulating aldosterone concentration during a 24-hour period and in response to the orthostasis. Considerable disturbances of the functional state of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system are seen with a physical load of the submaximal intensity. The data obtained indicate pathogenetic significance of the above changes which should be taken into consideration while prescribing therapy of such patients.
