Thiamin is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin which is supplied primarily from cereals and enriched grains in the ordinary diet. The majority of absorbed thiamin combines with ATP in the body to form thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP). TPP is a coenzyme which is involved in a number of energy production reactions in the body (metabolism of carbohydrates and some amino acids) . Therefore, theoretically, TD reduces the release of metabolic energy in the tissues . The adverse effects of TD include biventricular myocardial failure, tachycardia, peripheral edema, and retention of sodium which occurs as a result of heart failure . Therefore, our assumption is that TD in CHF patients may result in depletion of cellular energy and subsequently impair cardiac function. Previous studies done on CHF patients with TD found that thiamin supplementation was associated with improvement in heart contractility.
