A study to evaluate the prevalence of high blood pressure (HBP) and resting 'ischaemic' electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns in the climacteric was carried out in 494 outpatients aged up to 65 yr. The study group was made up of 91 pre-menopausal women, 235 natural post-menopausal women, 91 surgical post-menopausal women and 77 women of advanced reproductive age, who comprised the control group. High systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure values were seen in 26.

Complete or incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB) was found in 21 patients (35%). Antibodies to cardiac conducting tissue were found in 16 (76%) of the 21 with RBBB and in eight (21%) of the 39 without RBBB.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated cardiac complications in 28 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients using mechanophonocardiographic and echocardiographic methods, revealing that 64.3% showed echocardiographic changes.
- - Key findings included pericardial effusion in 21.4% of cases, mitral valve alterations in 35.7%, and thickening of the interventricular septum in 17.9%.
- - The authors concluded that echocardiography is an effective tool for identifying and monitoring cardiac issues in RA patients, especially in relation to disease severity and duration.
