Essay

The comparison of diastolic and systolic heart failure (HF) was performed. The signs of HF were less expressed at diastolic HF, among these patients there were women, arterial hypertension more often, and less often - coronary heart disease. We have revealed increased levels of serum concentrations of the tumor necrosis factor-alfa (TNF-alfa) and interleukin-6. Concentration of TNF-alfa depend on a functional class (FC) and diastolic dysfunction. The reception of сaptopril or enalapril at the diastolic HF reduced deterioration of FC, increase of requirement of diuretics, development of left ventricle dilatation, diastolic and systolic dysfunction. The application of these drugs in dozes 150 mg and 40 mg daily in the greater degree prevented left ventricle dilatation and diastolic dysfunction
