[Clinico-angiographic correlations in intramural myocardial infarction].

The results of examination of 74 patients aged 33 to 65 years with intramural myocardial infarction (MI) are analyzed. It is established that as compared to patients with transmural MI, this group of patients showed recurrent attacks of angina pectoris and MI more frequently (during treatment at hospital). In addition, the exercise test in such patients was positive more often either (the data are statistically significant).

[Left-ventricular function in patients with unstable stenocardia after pharmacological and surgical treatment].

Left-ventricular function was assessed by sectional echocardiography in 250 patients with unstable angina on admission; the test was repeated after medication-produced-stabilization in 130 and after aorto-coronary shunting in 50 of those. Total and/or regional left-ventricular contractility disorders were detected in 82.4%, depending on the type and severity of coronary bed affection as well as the presence and magnitude of postinfarction cardiosclerosis.

[Total and segmental left ventricular ejection fraction of acute myocardial infarct patients during serial determination using 2-dimensional echocardiography].

Ultrasonic scanning of the heart was carried out on days 1, 10, 20 and 30 of uncomplicated myocardial infarction (MI) in 46 patients whose total and segmental ejection fraction (EF) (5 segments by a two-chamber projection from the apex) were then calculated. Total left-ventricular EF was moderately reduced on day 1 (48.6 +/- 1.

[Repeated veloergometric tests in the hospitalization period of myocardial infarction].

Bicycle ergometry and echocardiography were conducted in 54 patients with primary uncomplicated large-focal myocardial infarction (MI), while their central hemodynamic parameters were examined radiocardiographically on days 10, 20 and 30 of the disease. About 70% of patients were doing exercise until they were fatigued or showed a submaximum pulse rate, whereas 20% developed angina pectoris. In the course of recovery, threshold capacity increased in most of the patients and as the cumulative group result (with a 16% increment from day 10 to day 20).
