RELATIONSHIP OF SOME HUMORAL-FACTORS WITH INDEXES OF LEFT-VENTRICULAR MYOCARDIUM HYPERTROPHY IN HYPERTENSIVE DISEASE

Left ventricular myocardium hypertrophy, adrenocorticotropin, cortisol, renin and aldosteron were evaluated in 100 patients subdivided in three groups depending on the type of central hypertensive disease of stage two hemodynamics. Their correlation coefficients were assesseed before and after treatment. It was found that patients with hypertensive disease (stage II) did not show any regularities in the correlation between the content of hormones in the blood and signs of left ventricular myocardium hypertrophy. Hence, aldosteron, renin, ACTH, cortisol do not essentially influence the development of left ventricular myocardium hypertrophy.
