[Haemodynamics in congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasis (author's transl)].

Respiratory insufficiency is the clinical principal sign of cystic pulmonary lymphangiectasis. Clarification of cardiovascular morphology and haemodynamics is the basic prerequisite for the classification and therapy of the disease pattern. The prognosis is unfavourable if it is found that the pulmonary circulation does not flow through the lungs, reaching instead the systemic circulation via the persisting ductus arteriosus.

[New angles of view in cineangiography of congenital heart disease (author's transl)].

Axial oblique views were performed during cineangiography of congenital heart disease on patients of a paediatric cardiological unit for a period of two years. The resulting angle-patterns are shown in a synoptical review, and indications for angiographic demonstration of morphological conditions in congenital heart disease are discussed. In comparison with the literature to date, this is the first report of experience with a biplane synchronised "C" arm cineangiographic system.

[Cardiomyopathy in juvenile diabetics? (author's transl)].

Report on a cardiologic study conducted in 26 juvenile diabetics with insulin deficiency, in whom the disease had lasted for more than ten years. Electrocardiograms, vectorcardiograms and echocardiograms were recorded. The investigations did not indicate the presence of a subclinical cardiomyopathy as a sign of an early diabetic microangiopathy of the myocardium.

[Cardiomyopathy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Part 2: serum enzymes, vector-cardiography, and echo-cardiography in 143 patients (author's transl)].

To diagnose a possible latent or manifested cardiomyopathy, 143 male patients between 2 and 21 years of age with confirmed Duchenne muscular dystrophy were examined for serum enzymes, by electrocardiography, vector-cardiography, and echo-cardiography. The results contain information on 1. the quantitative cellular myocardial degeneration process, 2.
