[Differential diagnosis of ischemic heart disease in patients with associated atherosclerotic lesions].

The diagnosis and differential diagnosis of attendant ischemic heart disease (IHD) was conducted in 65 men (age 49-74 years) with Takayashu's syndrome and 59 men (age 39-64 years) with associated atherosclerotic lesions of the arch branches and the abdominal portion of the aorta. The examination was performed using velo- and spiroergometry, echocardiography, drug tests, coronaroventriculography. IHD was diagnosed in 38.

[Noninvasive assessment of myocardial functional reserves in young women with nonspecific aortoarteritis and aortic arch syndrome].

Aim: To study functional myocardial reserve in patients with nonspecific aortic arteritis (NAA) and aortic arch syndrome (AAS).

Material And Methods: Myocardial functional reserve was studied in 42 patients with NAA using ECG, spiroveloergometry, section and doppler echocardiography, radionuclide ventriculography. Healthy nonsportswomen served control.

[On prospective applications of veloergometry in patients with myocardial ischemia].

Standardization of veloergometry for functional assessment of oxygen transport in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) was studied using cardiopulmonary complex Siregnost FD 88S (Siemens, Germany) and spiroveloergometry. Standard veloergometry protocol was applied for 30 healthy and 55 IHD males. The methodological approach and validity of application of standard veloergometry protocol in IHD patients are discussed.

[Remote follow-up results of the surgery in patients with unspecified aortoarteritis].

In 133 patients with nonspecific aortoarteritis 172 operations were conducted, 83.8% of them--reconstructive interventions. In 29 patients with isolated affection of truncus brachiocephalicus 32 operations were conducted.

[The comprehensive diagnosis of the aortic arch syndrome in nonspecific aortoarteritis].

The authors provide a scheme of a comprehensive diagnosis of the aortic arch syndrome in nonspecific aortoarteritis. It includes the clinical and laboratory data together with the data on the anamnesis, angiography and ultrasound dopplerography. The derangement of the aortic arch was diagnosed in 65 (41%) out of 128 patients.
