Continuous electrocardiographic recording (Holter method) during indapamide treatment: a study of 40 cases.

In 40 hypertensive patients continuous ECG recording was done before and after 30 days treatment with indapamide 2.5 mg. There was no change in heart rate. In addition, the incidence of extrasystoles was not changed in patients in whom the ECG was normal before treatment (30 cases) or in 8 of the 10 patients who had an incidence of more than 1% extrasystoles. However, in the other 2 patients who presented with an incidence of more than 1% extrasystoles the incidence of extrasystoles rose.

[Malignant pheochromocytoma of Zuckerkandl's body; clinical data and treatment: one case (author's transl)].

A forty year old man with malignant pheochromocytoma of Zuckerkandl's body is reported. The case history is a severe hypertension with acute episodes, tachycardia and psychiatric disorders. The tumor extra adrenal site was got by abdominal scanning and its malignant type was demonstrated by pathological study and metastasis of lymph nodes occurring 4 months after surgery. The surgical treatment was associated to antimitotic and alpha blocking therapy. Clinical and biological status is still good after a twelve months follow-up.

[Conduction disorders during cardiac sarcoidosis (author's transl)].

The authors report 2 observations of auriculoventricular blockage developed during a mediastino-pulmonary sarcoidosis, requiring a heart pacer in the first case and corticosteroid treatment in the second. The frequency of the disorders of intracardiac conduction was evaluated by a retrospective study of 412 cases of mediastino-pulmonary sarcoidosis. Seventy two ECG were considered abnormal, a frequency of 17.2%. The disorders of auriculo-ventricular and intra-ventricular conduction represented a third of cases. What is known on the risk of lethal evolution of cardiac sarcoidosis in which those abnormalities are significant, justifies an electrophysiological investigation. The indications for a definitive cardiac stimulation and corticosteroid treatment are debated. On this final point, it seemed necessary to plan a prospective study to confirm the merits of the treatment and to define its modalities.
