[Psychotherapy impact on effectiveness of in-hospital physical rehabilitation in patients with acute coronary syndrome].

Of 103 patients with acute coronary syndrome (mean age 51.6 +/- 0.9 years) 47 patients participated in 5 group psychotherapeutic sessions added to conversional rehabilitation program.

[Pilot experience with skeletal muscles electrostimulation in rehabilitation of patients with complicated myocardial infarction].

Aim: To test electric stimulation of the skeletal muscles in rehabilitation of patients with complicated myocardial infarction.

Materials And Methods: 27 patients with macrofocal myocardial infarction (age 67 +/- 2.4 years) with persisting left ventricular insufficiency in the beginning of the subacute period.

[Comparative anti-hypertensive effectiveness and tolerance of drugs in patients with mild and moderate arterial hypertension].

120 patients with mild and moderate arterial hypertension were treated outpatiently for 6 weeks with dilren (group 1), norvask (group 2), invoril (group 3) and caposide (group 4). Each group consisted of 30 patients. The drugs were given in doses: 300 mg/day, 5-10 mg/day, 10-20 mg/day and 1 tablet a day (50 mg capoten + 25 mg hydrochlortiaside), respectively.

[Long-term monotherapy with prestarium, anap and lomir in patients with mild and moderate arterial hypertension: clinical efficacy, hemodynamics and morphofunctional parameters of heart].

Aim: To assess effectiveness of blood hypertension treatment with inhibitors of angiotensin converting enzyme and calcium channels blocker.

Materials And Methods: 83 outpatients with mild and moderate blood hypertension received monotherapy with prestarium, anap and lomir for 12 months. The trends in parameters of blood pressure, total peripheral vascular resistance, thickness of the interventricular septum and left ventricular posterior wall were estimated.

[Comparative efficacy of and tolerance to prestarium and lomir in long-term treatment of hypertensive subjects].

An antihypertensive action and tolerance of prestarium and lomir were studied in 31 and 33 hypertensive patients, respectively. They had hypertension stage I-II and took the drug for 12 months. Monotherapy with prestarium in a dose 8 mg/day and lomir (10 mg/day) given twice a day provides a complete hypotensive effect for a year in 56 and 62% of patients, respectively.

[The effect of finoptin on platelet aggregation, blood coagulability and fibrinolysis in patients with ischemic heart disease during physical exercise].

Exercise platelet aggregation, blood coagulability, and fibrinolysis were examined in patients prior myocardial infarction 2-3 months following the disease. Seventy patients of whom 35 had received placebo and 35 finoptin prior to exercise were studied. The platelet aggregation, blood coagulability, and fibrinolysis were explored before and after bicycle ergometric test.

[The coagulating and anticoagulating blood systems and thrombocyte aggregation in healthy subjects and patients with ischemic heart disease at rest and under physical loading].

A study was made of hemostasis, fibrinolysis and platelet aggregation at rest and exercise in 32 healthy persons and 35 patients suffering from coronary heart disease (CHD) with a history of myocardial infarction that had occurred 2-3 months before. It has been discovered as a result that in healthy persons at exercise, the blood coagulation system and fibrinolysis are activated, the level of antithrombin-III rises and initial platelet aggregation decreases. In patients with CHD at exercise, hypercoagulation, deceleration of fibrinolysis, and the decline of the level of AT-III are detectable, with platelet aggregation being enhanced.

[Expediency of long-term anti-angina therapy and physical exercises in patients with angina pectoris and a history of myocardial infarction].

Altogether 105 patients were investigated 1.5-2 mos after myocardial infarction. They were divided into 2 groups: 1) 57 patients on nitrates or anapriline for one year; 2) 48 patients on acetylsalicylic acid (0.

[Optimal intensity and duration of training and the duration of walks during the after-care of myocardial infarct patients at a sanatorium].

Daily exercise drills producing a heart rate increment of about 31.5% of the one recorded at first stress tolerance test and lasting for 105 min, in combination with daily 75 minutes' walks were not sufficient to increase stress tolerance. More intensive drills, producing a 50.

[Clinical, morphological and pathogenetic characteristics of combined myocardial infarct of the right and left ventricles].

Proceeding from clinicomorphological correlations in 63 patients with combined right and left ventricular myocardial infarction and in 92 patients with isolated left ventricular myocardial infarction some features of heart coronary pathology that contributed to the formation of a process of different site in the right and left ventricles were revealed. A hypothesis of variants of the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction of the anterior and posterior free walls of the right ventricle was discussed.

[Effect of corinfar on hemodynamics in ischemic heart disease].

During examination on the basis of a double blind test corinfar administered sublingually at a dose of 10-30 mg decreases significantly in 1 hour systolic and diastolic arterial pressure, general peripheral resistance, increases the heart rate, the blood stroke and minute volumes and a medium rate of the circular contraction of the muscular fibers in CHD patients. An increase in systolic discharge is associated with lowered arteriole tension.

[Reproducibility of several of the parameters of unidimensional echocardiography, sectoral scanning and tetrapolar rheoplethysmography of the chest cavity].

The reproducibility of a number of echocardiographic and tetrapolar rheoplethysmographic parameters was checked at a one-hour interval in 26 coronary patients, and at a one-day interval in 54 patients. Left-ventricular diastolic diameter and stroke volume, as determined by the method of Rasmussen et al., and mean rates of closure of the anterior cusp of the mitral valve and myocardial fibre circular shortening showed the best reproducibility.

[Space-occupying masses in the right atrial cavity. Findings in segmental echo scanning].

A total of 1665 patients were examined with the aid of two-dimensional echocardiography scanning. Of these, 3 patients had sizable formations in the right atrium. During scanning, the sizable formations were recorded within the planes of echolocation, whereas the use of one-dimensional echocardiography enabled a sizable formation to be detected but in one patient.
