[Strategies of antihypertensive therapy in elderly patients (part I)].

There is no doubt now that arterial hypertension in the elderly must be treated. Policy of antihypertensive therapy in the elderly patients is described. Indications to some antihypertensive drugs and relevant side effects are detailed. Other drugs will be considered further--in part II of the lecture.

[Diagnosis of myocardial lesions in infectious endocarditis].

To decide on treatment policy and specify prognosis in infectious endocarditis (IE) it is necessary to investigate myocardium. This is better to do using most informative criteria of myocardial affection--structural and geometrical changes of the left ventricle, various focal lesions, high-grade ventricular extrasystole, supraventricular tachycardia, atrioventricular block of various degree.

[Cardiological use of mononitrates].

The study has provided strong evidence for the marked antihypertensive and antiischemic effects of isosorbide-5-mononitrate (I-5-M)--the drug Monochinque retard, 50 mg (A Monarini Group, Berlin Chemie). It contributed to the reduction of the number of anginal attacks and to the alleviation of myocardial ischemia, as evidenced by Holter monitoring. The findings also indicate that there are positive changes in central hemodynamic parameters, such as left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions when Monochinque was given. The data presented suggest that Monochinque, 50 mg, an I-5-M has a positive effect on the clinical manifestations of pain and painless forms of coronary heart disease and that it alleviated functional classes II-IV heart failure.

Clinical Trials as Topic↗

[Myopericarditis: clinical picture, diagnosis and treatment].

Clinical characteristics of viral myopericarditis are analysed basing on the original and literature data. Four evolutionary stages of electrocardiographic image of the disease are described. Higher incidence of hemorrhagic myopericarditides is stated. These are suggested to have a viral nature. Steroid glucocorticoids produce a satisfactory therapeutic effect. The prognosis of the disease is favourable.

Biopsy↗

[Ventricular late potentials and ventricular arrhythmias in noncoronarogenic myocardial diseases].

Hemodynamic parameters and survival were studied in 48 patients with noncoronarogenic myocardial diseases (NCMD). The examination included high-resolution electrocardiography and Holter monitoring of cardiac rhythm. Deterioration of pump capacity of the heart was associated with high-grade arrhythmias (4B and higher) while ventricular late potentials were more characteristic for patients with severe hemodynamic disorders and, in particular, with dilated cardiomyopathy. The prognosis in NCMD is based on clinical evidence on functional class of the heart failure, parameters of central and intrapulmonary hemodynamics.
