Abstract

Objectives – to study the indicators of humoral regulation of circulatory system in obese patients as the predictors of CHF development.

Materials and methods. Two groups of 40 patients were formed: the first group consisted of patients with I or II grades obesity with BMI of up to 40 kg/m2, the second group included patients with grade III obesity with BMI of over 40 kg/m2. None of the selected patients had a history of cardiovascular events. The concentration value of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system components and level of N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) was determined.

Results. Aldosterone level in grade I–II obese patients was close to normal upper border: 58.9 [54.9; 73.8] pg/ml (normal range is 10–60 pg/ml), while in patients with grade III obesity it was 79.5 [64.5; 90.1], which is 25.9% higher than in patients of the first group and 24.5% higher above the normal level (p < 0.05). These two groups was significantly different not only in average plasma aldosterone level, but in absolute number of patients with hyperaldosteronism, whose number accounted for 46.2% in grades I or II obese patients and 85.7% among patients with grade III obesity. Plasma renin level and angiotensin II levels in both groups was within the normal range. NT-proBNP level in the first group was 23.7 [10.6; 23.6] pg/ml, in the second group – 138.0 [121.5; 145.9] pg/ml, which is 5.8 times higher (p = 0.001). In both groups of patients, the correlation analysis showed that aldosterone and NT-proBNP levels are closely related (r = 0.74, p < 0.05).

Conclusion. This study suggests that aldosterone level can be used as a predictor of HF.
