[Plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration of patients with congestive cardiomyopathy]. 1986

M I Popovich, and I F Zatushevskiĭ, and V I Botnar'

Blood plasma aldosterone concentration and renin plasma activity were studied in 30 patients with congestive cardiomyopathy and in 41 patients with congestive heart failure resulting from CHD or valvular heart disease using a radio-immunoassay. In congestive cardiomyopathy as well as in congestive heart failure of another etiology an increase in plasma renin activity was noted in single cases in stages IIA and IIB and in most patients with stage III congestive heart failure. Changes in plasma aldosterone concentration with relation to stages of congestive heart failure were unidirectional in both groups of examinees. There was no correlation between plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration. The study has shown that in congestive cardiomyopathy shifts in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system are of the same nature as in patients with congestive heart failure of another etiology.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.

D002311 Cardiomyopathy, Dilated A form of CARDIAC MUSCLE disease that is characterized by ventricular dilation, VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION, and HEART FAILURE.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
