In 81 patients with circulatory insufficiency of the IIB-III stage some in dices of the lipids and protein metabolism along with the blood sugar level were studied. Changes in the lipids metabolism values are more pronounced in patients with mitral defects than in those with atherosclerotic cardiosclerosis. The authors attach definite importance to these derangements in the pathogenesis of cardiac cachexia secondary to the developing circulatory insufficiency.
