Insights
This study examined lipid metabolism, antioxidant systems, and nucleotide metabolism in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and ischemic heart disease. These factors aid in differentiating between these heart conditions.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Biochemistry
Abstract:
A study is presented in 59 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and 41 patients with ischemic heart disease. Diverse changes of the indices of lipid metabolism antioxidant system and metabolism of adenylic nucleotides, data of transesophageal stimulation of the left atrium indicate that these values along with clinical findings are of importance for the differential diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy and atherosclerotic myocardial sclerosis.
