[Possibilities for trend registration of the behavior of extrasystoles in patients with coronary disease].

The ECG long-term registration as a method of controlling the action of the heart proves to be particularly evident above all when using it in patients with endangered coronaries. A partial achievement in this questioning can also be obtained by checking the behaviour of cardiac rhythm showing a tendency and disturbances of cardiac rhythm, respectively. Own investigations using a new combination of trend processing system and arrhythmia monitor BMT5111 of the combined works VEB Messgerätewerk Zwönitz show that particularly the signal parameters prematurity and breadth of QRS-basis are suitable for the differentiated registration and documentation of arrhythmic events.

[Determination of serum haptoglobin concentration in the acute phase of myocardial infarct by means of Mancini's simple radial immunodiffusion test].

In 14 patients with an according to the WHO-criteria definitive myocardial infarction quantitative serum haptoglobin course controls were performed in the first week after the pain event. The haptoglobin estimations were performed by means of simple radial immunodiffusion after Mancini on M-partigen plates. Up to the fifth day after the pain event an increase of the haptoglobin concentration could be established.

[Early diagnosis of diabetes mellitus--studies on the effectiveness and value of diabetes screening actions].

Actions to found out cases of diabetes, which exclusively worked with a proof of glucosuria using the biophan-test stripe, were always loaded by a high percentage of falsely pathologic, but also by a not insignificant number of falsely negative investigation results. -- Therefore a multiphasic screening was carried out in 5,424 persons at the age of 20 and more years, which tested the problems mentioned and judged the possibilities of an improved diagnosis.

[Long-term studies on the beta blocker talinolol (cordanum) with special reference to side effects].

224 patients with coronary heart disease, hypertension, disturbances of cardiac rhythm or hyperkinetic heart syndrome were treated with the cardioselective beta-blocker Talinolol (Cordanum) for a period up to 3 years. In 239 examinations in intravenous or peroral application of this medicament we controlled among others the appearance of side effects. This test was carried out with the help of standardised questionings and clinical controls.

[Differentiation of organic heart diseases and functionally conditioned cardiovascular disorders with special reference to heart-ache].

Functional cardiovascular disturbances are very often in daily practice. Making of the diagnosis is possible by the exclusion of organic heart diseases, the behaviour and the special personal structure of the patient. Functional cardiovascular disturbances may manifest themselves as disturbances of the cardiac rhythm, circulatory dysregulations and so-called heart-aches, in which cases most different variations are possible.
