Abstract

Aim: to study correlation between concentration of pathological cytokines and erythropoietin in patients with chronic heart failure with anemic syndrome and also to prove importance of this communication for need of appointment erythropoietin excitants. Patients and methods: 94 patients with chronic heart failure of New York Heart Association (NYHA) class ІІІ–ІV a left ventricular ejection fraction of 40% or less with anemia w ere included in investigation (58 males, 36 females). Anemia was detected when hemoglobin (Hb) was less than 120 g/l in males and less than 110 g/l in females. 46 patients received traditional treatment of CHF (І group) and 48 patients were treated additionally with erythropoietin (EPO) (ІІ group). Percutaneous EPO 50 IU monthly to patients without iron deficiency for a period of 6 months. Echocardiography parameters, plasma NT and pro-BNP, cytokines, EPO, ferritin and 6-minute walking test were assessed at baseline and after treatment. Results: in patients with CHF and anemia in ІІ group erythropoietin treatment increased Hb levels by 22,4% (p IL 6 by 54,3% (p α by 48,3% (p increase of LVEF by 19,04% (p Conclusions: Correction of anemia in patients with chronic heart failure with percutaneous erythropoietin injections 50 IU monthly for 6 month period to improve erythropoietin deficit and cytokines aggression and associated anemia, symptoms and quality of life.
