title: [Relation between blood levels of thyroid hormones and insulin and lipid metabolism and the clinical course of chronic forms of ischemic heart disease].
abstract: Ninety patients aged 41 to 68 years with the chronic patterns of coronary heart disease (CHD) were examined for the content of triiodothyronine (T3), total T4 and free thyroxine (FT4), thyrotropic hormone (TTH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and insulin. At the same time the patients were examined with the aid of the glucose tolerance test, determination of blood concentration of cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, fibrinogen and soluble fibrin. The patients with CHD showed a decrease in the basal level of T3, T4, FT4 and elevation of TTH, ACTH and insulin in blood. A correlation was found between the basal of insulin and thyroid hormones and lipid metabolism in CHD patients. It was shown that thyroid hypofunction, unmarked clinically but detectable by the lowering of the content of thyroid hormones and rise of thyrotropic hormone in blood of CHD patients, might promote the development of hyperinsulinemia.
