Early rehabilitation of patients in the convalescence phase after myocardial infarction. Results of a multicentre study in GDR health resorts.

Carried out within the framework of the GDR myocardial infarction control programme, this study presents the organisational model of early rehabilitation of post-infarction patients in convalescence (phase II according to WHO) in health resorts and sanatoria. By referring to a multicentre study conducted on 5,069 patients in six sanatoria of the GDR, a higher physical performance and cardiac relaxation are set forth as essential results, coupled with a decline in the sympathico-adrenergic response, which are concomitant with an improved state of health. Twelve months following the cure, 77% of the patients regained their ability to work, with 71% of them back in their former jobs.

[Physical therapy in cardiology].

With different part the physiotherapy is of importance in the general therapy plan of the patient with heart disease. In long-term preventive and therapy programmes, respectively, of the coronary heart disease as well as of the essential arterial hypertension physiotherapy is a real alternative or a complementary element to pharmacotherapy. In the hospital therapy means of physiotherapy often form the basis for nursing. The further spreading of functional cardio-circulatory syndromes and the burdening of the outpatient medical sector connected with this as well as a consumption of medicaments more and more characterized by polypragmasia demands an increased application of effective means of physiotherapy. Apart from this in social-medical respect important task in future the long-term care of patients with chronic coronary heart disease and essential arterial hypertension will set organisational and scientific methodological tasks to physiotherapy.

[Method and utilization of the calibrated and differentiated carotid artery sphygmography].

A description is given of a specially developed pulse tracer based on the differential induction principle which enables calibrated carotid sphygmography. Using a differentiator, the speed of the pressure rise of the central pulse curve can be gained, constituting an essential criterion for describing heart contraction. Compared to intra-aortal pressure gauging via left cardiac catheter there is a highly significant correlation to the meter readings of calibrated carotid sphygmography. It is equally possible to verify the effects exerted by negative-inotropic or positive-inotropic pharmaceuticals. Reproducibility of the method is good. Hence it appears suited for course checks.

[Detection of the ischemic reaction of the myocardium by means of the polar coordinates of the ST segment in the corrected orthogonal ECG].

In the case of coronary heart disease the behaviour of the ST segment proved to be of major diagnostic importance for the recognition of hypoxidotic processes in the myocardium. Isolated consideration of the T-wave does not provide any characteristic information. The so-called ischaemic reaction is characterized by a typical jump of polar vectors from the left to the right side, which are moved rearwards without usually leaving the right-hand quadrant at the front. The angles of elevation are in a horizontal position or directed slightly upwards. This change of the direction can but need not include an increased magnitude. It is possible to observe the development of ischaemia as exercise is increased, with the polar vectors increasing or unchanging in magnitude and being moved rightwards, rearwards, and upwards. This characteristic movement invariably starts at the J point, involving additional portions of the ST segment as ischaemia is developed during increasing exercise. The J point depression should be considered to be only a "normal" response to exercise, provided the variations relate to the J point or 20 ms away from the latter.
