[Phase analysis of the cardiac cycle in patients with arterial hypertension based on the results of equilibrium radioventriculography].

Aim: To study cardiac cycle parameters in patients with grade I and II AH by equilibrium radioventriculography (ERVG) and the possibility of using them for diagnostics of systolic and diastolic myocardial dysfunction.

Materials And Methods: Left and right ventricular diastolic and systolic functions were evaluated by conventional ERVG using a MB-9100 gamma-chamber (Gamma, Hungary) and the Gold-Rada+ system for data collection and processing. The study involved 142 patients divided into 3 groups.

[The role of interventricular septum in kinetics of left and right ventricular contraction in patients with ischemic heart disease and chronic cardiac failure].

Aim: To study the role of interventricular septum (IVS) in kinetics of left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) contraction in IHD patients with chronic cardiac failure (CCF).

Material And Methods: Standard equilibrium biventricular radioventriculography was used for the study of an inotropic function of LVand RV myocardium in 117 IHD patients with CCF of NYHA FC I-IV (mean age 58+/-4.1 years).

[Local myocardial contractility in patients with coronary heart disease and chronic heart failure].

The aim of the study was to evaluate the peculiarities of local left and right ventricular myocardial contractility in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and various degrees of chronic heart failure (CHF) using biventricular radioventriculography (RVG). Local left and right ventricular myocardial contractility was evaluated in 127 patients with CHD and CHF using RVG with a standard procedure of segmentary and phase histogram analysis. The patients were divided into two groups according to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

[Myocardial inotropic function in patients with chronic obstructive lung diseases as evidenced by biventricular equilibrium ventriculography].

At present chronic obstructive lung diseases (COLD) occupy a prominent place in the morbidity and mortality of the adult population, with regarding the more and more increasing influence of aggressive environmental factors (sulfur dioxide, nitrogen, ozone, black smog and smoking). Due to the fact that clinical symptoms develop in patients with COLD at its late stages when there are irreversible changes in not only the bronchopulmonary apparatus, but, to a greater extent, the cardiovascular system; the efficiency of performed therapy is rather little. This shows it necessary to diagnose myocardial contractile disorders in such patients as soon as possible as the routine accessible cardiac study techniques (ECG, EchoCG) are of low informative value due to significant emphysema.

[Two cases of diagnosis of right ventricular myocardial infarction].

Right ventricular myocardial infarction (RVMI) occurs rather rarely, under the mask of various diseases and is not easy to detect. Hypo-vate prognosis. Intravital diagnosis of RVMI was successful in 4 patients.
