Kharkiv National Medical University, Kharkiv, Ukraine

The peculiarities of myocardium remodeling in 109 patients with post−infarction cardiosclerosis (53 patients with coronary artery disease without carbohydrate metabolism disorders and 56 patients with accompanying type 2 diabetes mellitus) were compared. It was determined that the character and degree of the heart and vessels remodeling in patients with co−morbid pathology suggested a higher risk of chronic heart failure progress.

Key words: coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic heart failure, metabolic syndrome, echocardiography.
