Popis: The pituitary-thyroid axis and neurohumoral activation indexes were simultaneously investigated in 16 in-patients hospitalized for cardiac heart failure (CHF), New York Heart Association (NYHA), class II-IV, and Killip clinical scale, class II-III, to evaluate their relationship with CHF morbidity and the relative prognostic value. At entry the patients were divided into two subgroups (A and B), according to the severity of CHF. Patients were further classified into two subgroups, according to the subsequent clinical course (C, poor outcome and D, improved clinical course). Blood samples were obtained every day for the radioimmunoassay measurement of plasma alpha-atrial natriuretic peptide (alphaANP), arginine vasopressin (AVP), and thyroid hormones, and the results were compared with those of 12 control subjects. At admission, alphaANP and 3,3',5'-triiodothyronine (rT3) values were higher, while 3,3',5-triiodothyronine (T3) to rT3 (T3/rT3) ratio was lower in subgroups A and B than in controls (p
