Cardiomyocytes (CMC) of 18 patients with both ischemic heart disease, aneurism of the front wall and reduced myocardial contractility of the left ventricle (LV) were hypertrophied and in state of chronic hibernation, which was characterized by weakening of tissue-specific signs. Widening of lack myofibrils' zones and in part gap junction of intercalated disk transfer on the side of cells was found The hypertrophy of CMC had positive correlation, but chronic hibernation - negative one with the volume of LV. The worse prognosis of clinical course was degenerative changes of hibernate CMC with accumulation of autophagosomes that correlated with increasing of LV sphericity index.
