[The characteristics of the autonomic regulation of the heart rate in patients with IHD and ventricular arrhythmias under obzidan therapy].

Propranolol hydrochloride was administered to 30 patients with stable angina pectoris suffering from coronary heart disease (CHD). Of them 18 patients had ventricular extrasystole, 12 had ventricular tachycardia. All the patients underwent resting ECG, bicycle ergometry, transesophageal pacing, 24-h ECG monitoring.

[The functional status of the heart in patients with chronic alcoholism and disorders of intraventricular conduction].

An analysis of data of contrast ventriculography before and after volume load tests in 19 males suffering of chronic alcoholism with disorders of intraventricular conduction revealed signs of alcohol involvement of the heart with signs of "latent" insufficiency of the right and left ventricles manifested in an increased rate of circular shortening of myocardial fibers, terminal diastolic and terminal systolic volumes, terminal diastolic pressure.

[The nature of changes in central hemodynamics and myocardial contractile capacity of the left ventricle during volumetric loading in patients with chronic alcoholism in relation to the duration of alcohol abuse].

Forty patients aged 33 to 66 years suffering from chronic alcoholism, stages II-III, were examined. All the patients were subjected to contrast ventriculography before and after exercise test to identify the latent forms of heart failure. According to the coronarography findings, 9 out of the 40 patients demonstrated the signs of atherosclerotic injury to the coronary arteries.
