Popis: Objective: To describe the determinants of insulin sensitivity (IS) in chronic heart failure (CHF), we created a model in which the influence of lifestyle factors and etiology of heart failure on IS were incorporated concomitantly with age, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and parameters of body composition. Design: Observational cohort study. Setting: Outpatient clinic for chronic heart failure. Patients: Fifty-seven male CHF patients [NYHA class II–III, age 61±9 years, body mass index (BMI) 26.9±3.3 kg/m2 (mean±S.D.)]. Interventions: Euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp, cycle ergometry, anthropometric measurements, LVEF and a physical activity questionnaire. Main outcome measures: A model explaining the variance of IS in CHF. Results: IS was 18.2±8.6 μg·kg−1·min−1·mU−1·l−1, fasting insulin level was 15.9±11.0 mU/l and fasting glucose level was 5.5±0.6 mmol/l. Peak was 19.1±4.9 ml·kg−1·min−1 and LVEF 26.2±7.1%. IS was inversely associated with fasting insulin concentration (r=−0.50, P
