[The role of Holter ECG monitoring in the diagnosis of syncopal states].

Diurnal Holter ECG monitoring (HM) was used to examine 53 patients with different cardial pathology accompanied by syncopal conditions whose arrhythmogenic genesis was confirmed by long recording of the ECG. Based on the results of comparing the cardiorecorder readings and the diaries of patients' subjective sensations, the authors have demonstrated HM and thorough anamnestic studies to be highly significant in the diagnosis of the syncopal syndrome.

[Organizational and methodologic aspects of preventing ischemic heart disease in coal miners].

In the process of carrying out medikal checkups of miners a shop physician must take an active part in forming groups at risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and in ensuring dynamic preshift and postshift monitoring of the state of miners' cardiovascular system through the use of comprehensive methodological complex and further health promotion of this occupational group. Those attributed to the groups of extreme risk must discontinue their work in a mine. It was necessary to find some appropriate employment for them in order to avoid their contact with colliery occupational conditions.
