STUDY OF THE COURSE OF CHRONIC HEART FAILURE IN PATIENTS WITH METABOLIC SYNDROME

Abstract

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a major medical and social problem. The increase of morbidity results from both an increase of life expectancy of the population, and influence of various risk factors contributing to development and increase of heart failure. The combination of several atherogenic mechanisms (abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, arterial hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia), combined as «metabolic syndrome» (MS), causes a more rapid development of CHF.
