[Hemodynamics variation in hypertensive pilots of polar transport aviation on different flight phases].

The purpose was to study in-flight blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) in polar transport aviation pilots afflicted with essential hypertension. A total of 30 pilots were distributed into 2 groups: hypertensive pilots and those who, though generally healthy were, because of some conditions and lifestyle, predisposed to the cardiovascular risk (CVR). The examination included establishment of personal CVR factors, electrocardiography, bicycle ergometry, echocardiography, off-duty 24-hour BP and HR monitoring, and in-flight BP and HR monitoring.

[24-hr monitoring arterial pressure in outpatients with cardiovascular risk factors in the Far North].

Aim: To study peculiar features of daily AP rhythm and profile in men with cardiovascular risk factors residing in the Far North.

Materials And Methods: The study included 115 servicemen divided into 3 groups (hypertensive disease (HD), hypertonic type neurocirculatory asthenia (NCA) and risk factor of cardiovascular diseases other than AH). HD was diagnosed based on multiple AP measurements and 24-hr monitoring.

[Clinical and functional assessment of electric heart instability in patients with painless myocardial ischemia].

Markers of electric myocardial instability were studied in 82 patients during painless episodes of coronary heart disease (CHD). Clinical examination was supplemented by 12-lead ECG, 24-hour ECG monitoring, functional tests, echocardiography, signal-averaged ECG, recording of LVP, analysis of cardiac rhythm variability, and assessment of ventricular repolarization time. It is concluded that a combination of 24-hr ECG monitoring and functional tests (veloergometer) is indispensable for diagnostics of CHD and the evaluation of the patient"s condition.

[Clinical functional assessment of electric cardiac instability in diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle in patients with coronary heart disease].

Aim: To study parameters characterizing electric myocardial unstability in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with different variants of diastolic dysfunction (DD) of the left ventricle (LV).

Material And Methods: The study included 86 outpatients (26 females, 60 males, mean age 57.3 +/- 5.
