[Activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and its impact on the effectiveness of treatment of chronic heart failure in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].
The renin-angiotension-aldosterone system (RAAS) was studied in 93 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis complicated by chronic heart failure (CHF). Radioimmunoassay was used to determine plasma renin activity (PRA) and serum angiotensin I and aldesterone levels. There was higher RAAS activity, as shown by elevated PRA. RAAS activity decreased during CHF treatment with angiotension-converting enzyme inhibitors (captopril, ramipril, prestarium) and an angiotensin II-receptor blocker (cosaar), which is indicative of the efficiency of CHF treatment.
