[Biofeedback-wave rehabilitation therapy in combined treatment of patients with stable angina pectoris].

160 patients with stable stress angina pectoris (SSAP) received combined treatment. One of the modalities was information-wave impact generated by devices Azor-IR, Chrono-DMW (microwaves), Chrono-EHF. The impact from Azor-IR proved most effective as it reduced the amount of medication without loss of therapeutic activity.

[Heart failure in acute myocardial infarction: comparing infusions of nifedipine and nitroglycerin].

The impact of intravenous infusion of nifedipine and nitroglycerin on invasive central hemodynamic parameters and microcirculation was compared in 94 patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by heart failure. The artery dilating effects of nifedipine were associated with baseline peripheral vascular tone, so the comparison was made separately in the groups with and without vasoconstriction. Nifedipine seems to be beneficial in the management of heart failure due to acute myocardial infarction in patients with systemic vasoconstriction.

[Use of intravenous nifedipine in the treatment of cardiac insufficiency in the acute period of myocardial infarction].

The efficacy of intravenous nifedipine was examined in 42 patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by congestive heart failure. In patients with a higher systemic arteriolar tone, its normalization caused an increase in cardiac output and tissue oxygen supply with a concomitant decrease in pressures in the lesser circulation and the right heart. In contrast, a cardiodepressive effect of the agent was shown in more than a half of the patients with para-normal values of peripheral vascular resistance.

[Disorders of hemodynamics and pulmonary gas exchange in the acute period of myocardial infarct].

In 40 patients with massive myocardial infarction, the central hemodynamics was examined by probing the right-sided chambers of the heart and the pulmonary artery. The cardiac output was measured by thermodilution. The gas exchange (respiratory minute volume, capnography, gas analysis of arterial and mixed venous blood) was explored.
