A total of 232 CHD patients and 93 healthy persons were examined to reveal a possible role of the vasospastic and cardiohemodynamic factor in the pathogenesis of angina pectoris of various duration. Cardiohemodynamics, ECG, PCG and tetrapolar chest rheography were studied during a bicycle ergometry test. Two types of cardiohemodynamic reactions in anginal pain were defined: adequate--with low indices characterizing demand of the myocardium for oxygen and sufficient diastole (demand--supply) and inadequate--with an unusually high (1.

It was discovered that an attack of stable AP occurs approximately at the same level of the RS tension in all the functional classes of AP. This level correlates with the RS tension in normal subjects exposed to submaximal exercise.
