[Assessment of feasibility of using indices for heart rate variability in the differential diagnosis of renal parenchymal arterial hypertension].

24-hr monitoring of the heart rate variability (HRV) was instituted in 72 patients with essential hypertension (EH) and 68 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) to establish differential-diagnostic criteria for EH and CGN. Clear-cut differences have been ascertained in changes in HRV in EH and CGN as evidenced by the results obtained.

[Blood lipids, lipid peroxidation and the effect on them of antianginal preparations in ischemic heart disease patients].

The origin and development of ischemic heart disease (IHD) is attended with activation of lipid free-radical oxidation facilitating further advancement of the disease and with decrease of the organism's antioxidant protection. The antianginal drugs which are used in IHD treatment differ in their effect on the blood lipid composition and their peroxidation. beta-Adrenoblocking agents may cause proatherogenic disorders of the blood lipid graph, this increases the risk of IHD advancement.
