The focus of this study was placed on the role of heart failure in forming disorders of the nutritional status in patients undergoing surgical correction of acquired heart disease. A negative correlation level of natriuretic peptides in plasma levels of serum albumin and absolute lymphocyte counts was established. The development of chronic heart failure accompanied by an increase in plasma levels of natriuretic peptides in patients with AHD is one of the reasons for the decrease of serum albumin levels and the formation of malnutrition.
