[Structural-geometrical and functional state of the heart left ventricle in patients with metabolic syndrome]
Abstract:
178 patients with metabolic syndrome, 92 patients with II stage hypertonic disease and 47 patients with chronic Ischemic heart disease have been observed. Intracardiac hemodynamics has been estimated using ultrasound apparatus LOGIC-500 "General Electric". The obtained data confirmed structural-geometrical and functional state of left ventricle in patients with metabolic syndrome to have some peculiarities which can not be explained only by intracardiac hemodynamics of patients with hypertonic and ischemic heart disease. Special mechanisms of regulation of left ventricle and formation of its functional disorders have been shown to exist in patients with metabolic syndrome.
