Title : Remodeling of the left ventricular myocardium in patients with chronic heart failure depending on kidney dysfunction

The aim of the study was to study the features of left ventricular myocardial remodeling processes in patients with chronic heart failure, depending on kidney dysfunction. 150 patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) I-III functional class (FC) were examined. The patients were divided into 2 study groups: group I consisted of 81 patients with CHF FC I-III with eGFR >60 ml/min/1.73 m2, group II consisted of 69 patients with CHF FC I-III with eGFR ≤60 ml/min/1, 73m2. Patients with CHF with impaired renal function were characterized by a pronounced decrease in the contractility of the left ventricular myocardium with a predominance of the eccentric type of left ventricular hypertrophy.
