[studies in the early diagnosis of Value of noninvasive diabetic angiopathies].

Eighty-six patients of both sexes (46 males and 40 females) who had type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) in the decompensated state were examined. Moderate and severe DM1 were detected in 66 and 20 patients, respectively. The patients' age ranged from 16 to 46 years.

[Clinico-instrumental and pathologicoanatomic comparisons in diabetic cardiopathy and ischemic heart disease in diabetics].

46 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) of both sexes under 40 years of age in the state of compensation were found to have significantly greater figures (1, 3) for the parameter characterizing the subendocardial bloodflow, obtained by calculating technique, versus 33 DM patients beyond 40 in the state of compensation, which fact suggests the presence of diabetes macroangiopathies (IAD) in the latter. In 6 patients the diagnosis of IHD has been verified postmortem.

[The relationship of vascular changes and immune status disorders in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1].

Immunologic status was studied in 86 patients with type-I diabetes mellitus before and after treatment with decarise, thymaline and T-activin. With the aid of ECG, phonocardiogramme, apex cardiogramme, oscillogramme, there has been calculated index of vitality of the myocardium reflecting the subendocardial bloodflow. The principal parameters characterising bodily immune status (absolute number of T- and B-lymphocytes), T-suppressors counts as well as those of circulating immune complexes (CIC) were compared to the values for subendocardial bloodflow (end-diastolic pressure, index of vitality of the myocardium).

[The diagnosis of micro- and macroangiopathies of the lesser circulation in diabetic patients].

Patients with diabetes mellitus aged under 40 in the state of compensation demonstrate significant drop of pressure in the pulmonary artery system as compared to the corresponding parameter in those patients with diabetes mellitus beyond 40, which fact suggests presence of microangiopathies in the system of the pulmonary artery in the absence of concurrent pulmonary diseases and with similar duration of the illness.

[Gouty heart defects].

The authors revealed heart failure in 7 of 216 patients with gout. Two of them showed isolated mitral valve insufficiency and two patients aortal insufficiency while combined aortal disease, combination of mitral and aortal insufficiency and combined mitral valve disease with aortal insufficiency occurred each in 1 patient. One could not find distinct dependence between the clinical variant of the course of gout and development of a definite heart failure.
