[Electrocardiography changes in newborn infants during the 1st 6 weeks of life in Mexico City. Physiological implications].

The electrocardiograms of 150 newborns who were born in Mexico City (2,240 m. above sea level) were obtained in the first 24 hours of life and six weeks later. The electrocardiographic changes were similar to those observed at sea level; AQRS shifted to the left, the T waves became negative in the right precordial leads and the R/S relation increased in the left precordial leads. Mid-altitude does not affect the pulmonary vascular maturation of the normal newborn.

[Prevention of coronary atherosclerosis. (III). Prevalence of risk factors among civil servants of Mexico City, Federal District].

The prevalence of risk factors in civil servants living in Mexico City was investigated prospectively in 1942 individuals. Risk factors tended to increase with age and in some cases were related to sex. Hypertension was found to be as high as fifteen percent in the older age groups despite the fact that the critical limit was 160/95 in all decades. Hypercholesterolemia was found to be close to the rates reported in the so-called developed countries. Diabetes mellitus varied between 1 and 14%. Obesity and hypertrygliceridemia were also common findings and related. Smoking was independent of sex. Prevalence of the association between the major risk factors are presented. These data, are in agreement with the death causes among civil servants and indicate that preventive programs for ischemic heart disease are needed in civil servants in Mexico City.

[Prevalence of microscopic coronary atheroma in young adults from Mexico City].

The prevalence of microscopic atheroma in the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery was studied in thirty young males aged 20 to 29 years, living in Mexico City, who died in urban accidents. All of them were either unemployed or labor workers with a socioeconomical status considered to be representative of the majority of young males living in Mexico City. It was found that coronary atheroma was present in 11 of them (33%) with variable degrees of luminal obstruction. In two of them the luminal obstruction was greater than 75%. The prevalence found in this group was significantly different to that found in younger and older males who also died in accidents. Since the prevalence of coronary atheroma was not related to ventricular hypertrophy, valvular or congenital heart disease our findings indicate that in Mexico City as in other geographical regions, coronary atherosclerosis is not an unusual finding in males in the third decade of life, with a low socioeconomical status.

[Prevention of coronary atherosclerosis. II: Topography and morphology of "protruding" lesions. Epidemiologic, diagnostic and therapeutic implications].

Topographic and morphologic aspects of coronary atherosclerotic "protruding" lesions were investigated in 119 accidental deaths in males living in Mexico City. Morphology and topography varied according to the arterial trunk studied and age. Left anterior descending and circumflex lesions were almost always confined to the initial 5 cms and if a lesion was present after the 3rd cm there was always a proximal lesion. Right coronary lesions occasionally were found distally even in the absence of proximal lesions. Third decade lesions were usually not calcified. Stenosis if present was rarely multivascular. Some fourth decade lesions were calcified; plurivascular stenosis was present in some cases. Fifth decade lesions show sequential stenotic lesions in the same vessel; calcium and plurivascular stenosis were often observed. However the features observed in the 3rd decade could be observed in the older subjects. Reference is made to lesions which are found in both the left main trunk and the left anterior descending. Epidemiological and clinical applications related with preventive programs are mentioned.

[Use of technetium 99m radio-angiocardiography in the identification of myxoma of the right atrium. Presentation of 2 cases].

A right atrial myxoma was identified in two patients with radio-angiocardiography-99m Tc. Tumor is identified as a persistent photon-deficient region in both first-pass and equilibrium images. In addition there is an abnormal accumulation and sluggish disappearance of the radionuclide from the right atrium. Even though sensitivity of the procedure should be confirmed, it is a helpful non-invasive technique of great value in the diagnosis oF right atrial tumors.

[Clinical, echocardiographic and hemodynamic sequence in cerebral arteriovenous fistula].

It is presented a fatal case of cerebral arteriovenous tube in which it was obtained clinical, radiological, electric, echocardiographic and haemodinamic sequencial information since the birth. Data suggested biventricular overcharge's existence initially without cardiac insufficiency. Finally appeared right ventricular expansion's data and biventricular hypertrophy, with left ventricular fluxe's diminution and cardiac insufficiency's data and shock.
