[The effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors on left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis and pronounced kidney failure].

This study compared the effects of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors captopril versus enalapril on left ventricular (LV) muscle mass and LV systolic and diastolic function in 58 patients with primary glomerulonephritis and moderate chronic renal failure. The design was a 6-8 week titration phase and 6-month maintenance phase. Mean myocardial mass calculated by M-mode echocardiography in the captopril group was 153 +/- 26 g/m2 before, and 130 +/- 14 g/m2 after 6 months of treatment, in enalapril group 147 +/- 22 g/m2 before, and 126 +/- 23 g/m2 after 6 months of treatment (p < 0.05). LV ejection fraction, early and late transmitral flow velocities and early to late LV inflow velocities ratio were not significantly affected by both ACE inhibitors.

[The prognosis of the nature of the course and outcome of infectious endocarditis].

Prognostic significance of various clinical and laboratory indices for predicting the course and outcome of infectious endocarditis (IE) has been analyzed for 139 IE patients aged 15-68 (77 males and 62 females). The unfavourable prognosis was associated with uncontrollable sepsis, persistence of circulating immune complexes and developing glomerulonephritis. The latter had also prognostic signs unfavourable for IE: moderate or severe proteinuria and/or cylindruria, reduced renal function, diffuse proliferation, pronounced extracapillary and/or tubulointerstitial components.

[Therapeutic effectiveness of left atrial transesophageal electric stimulation in atrial flutter].

The efficiency of frequent asynchronous transesophageal electrical stimulation (TEES) of the left atrium in atrial flutter of various origin was analyzed in 62 patients. It was found to be depended on the etiology and duration of arrhythmia and on the frequency of atrial waves. The best results were obtained in patients with postmyocardial cardiosclerosis and coronary heart disease in acute arrhythmias and at a low (less than 300 per min) frequency of flutter waves.

[Systemic lupus erythematosus and pregnancy: specific features of gestation and course of the disease].

The authors analyze the course and outcomes of 33 pregnancies in 26 women suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In patients with active SLE the incidence of gestoses and abnormalities of the newborns is significantly higher than in those with inactive SLE, whose gestational and neonatal complication rate is almost the same as in healthy women. Pregnancy course and outcomes are particularly unfavorable in cases with lupus glomerulonephritis.

[Significance of the studies of urinary syndrome in clinical practice].

The study of urinary sediment is essential in laboratory diagnosis. Conventional clinical methods are now used in line with computer-aided techniques and additional microscopy of the sediment elements. The paper provides a brief analysis of clinical situations characterized by appearance in the urine of abnormal numbers of leukocytes, erythrocytes, casts; provides clinical assessment of additional microscopic methods able to accentuate qualitative characteristics of the urinary syndrome; considers possibilities of application of the urinary sediment data in follow-up to improve diagnosis and control on-going treatment.
