In chronic uremia, apart from frequent coronary lesions, further abnormalities of the heart recently reported include (1) left ventricular hypertrophy, not completely explained by hypertension, (2) interstitial myocardial fibrosis, for which parathyroid hormone is a permissive factor, (3) reduced myocardial perfusion reserve, secondary to functional and structural changes of intramyocardial arteries and to reduced capillary density, (4) abnormalities of myocardial metabolism, which act in concert with restriction of blood flow by microvascular abnormalities to reduce ischemic tolerance. Such metabolic abnormalities include diminished responsiveness to beta-adrenergic stimulation, abnormal control of intracellular calcium concentration, impaired maintenance of energy-rich nucleotide concentrations under conditions of ischemia, impaired insulin-mediated glucose uptake, and abnormalities of myocardial oxidative metabolism.
