[Disordered diastolic function of the left ventricle in patients with coronary heart disease depending on ejection fraction].

The authors present data on the occurrence of different types of left ventricular diastolic function in patients with coronary heart disease collected in the course of population-based epidemiological study. The diastolic function was evaluated from parameters of transmitral blood flow depending on ejection fraction.

[Changes in myocardial hemodynamics and contractile function in patients under surgical treatment for prostatic adenoma].

Hemodynamics and left ventricular myocardial contractility in 170 patients who underwent surgery of prostatic adenoma were examined in preoperative period and 16 days after single-stage transvesical adenomectomy. The age of the patients varied from 52 to 85 years. Echocardiography and the dilution method were used for the evaluation.

[Disorders of pulmonary hemodynamics in patients with diabetic nephroangiopathy and its correction with antioxidants].

Hemodynamic changes of lesser circulation were investigated in 108 patients with diabetic nephroangiopathy. They were also given vitamin E therapy (8 micrograms/kg of body mass) for 2 weeks to correct metabolic derangements and indices of pulmonary hemodynamics. Partial renal function was determined with 131I-hippuran and 99mTc-DTPA renoscintigraphy.

[The broncho-obstructive syndrome in adolescents as a stage in the development of chronic bronchitis].

As many as 544 adolescents (268 boys and 276 girls) were examined. Using pneumotachometry and spirography, bronchial patency disorders were identified in 19.8 +/- 2.
