Peculiarities of vegetative dysfunction, system activity of proinflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress status in patients with chronic heart failure and depressive disorders
Abstract
We studied the peculiarities of vegetative regulation violations heart functions, system activity of proinflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress status in 82 patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) II—III NYHA FC with anxiety-depressive disorders compared with 56 patients with CHF which have no signs of depression. It is shown that the presence of heart failure patients for signs of anxiety-depressive disorders leads to more pronounced violations of autonomic regulation of the heart, unbalanced hypersympathicotonia which contributes significant activation of proinflammatory cytokines and further oxidative stress, which are important pathogeneses mechanisms of formation and progression of heart failure.
