title: [Possible role of hyperinsulinemia in pathogenesis of acute and chronic cardiac failure in patients with ischemic heart disease (data of clinical studies)].
abstract: Changes of blood insulin content were studied in patients with ischemic heart disease with various functional classes of acute and chronic heart failure and at different disease stages. It was established that latent hyperinsulinemia which became evident at induced myocardial ischemia was present on all stages of development of ischemic heart disease. In acute heart failure due to developed myocardial infarction hyperinsulinemia manifested in 58.3% of patients. Amount of insulin in blood increased almost 3 times. During progression of chronic heart failure insulin content significantly decreased, probably because of exhaustion of insulin producing function and development of its relative or absolute deficit. At terminal stage of congestive heart failure insulin level was < or = 1 microU/ml. The authors believe that severity of clinical signs of acute and chronic heart failure are determined by sensitivity of myocardium to insulin, content of insulin in blood, and also depends on compensatory possibilities of insulin producing function at each stage of development of the disease.
