[The insulin test].

Since its introduction through Hollander 30 years ago the interpretation of the value of the insulin test following vagotomy have been discussed. For the individual patient no correlation between the incidence of ulcer recurrence and the result of the insulin test has been found. In addition, the risk of hypoglycemia seems to be too high for diagnostic purposes. Therefore, to evaluate the outcome after vagotomy basal acid output, pentagastrin stimulated acid secretion and endoscopy are emphasized as reliable methods.

[Measurement of the conduction time within the fascicles of the His-Purkinje-system using endocardial detection (author's transl)].

The conduction time in the 3 fascicles of the His-Purkinje system can be measured by recording the local excitation in the peripheral His-Purkinje system of the right bundle and the anterior and posterior fascicle of the left bundle, in combination with His-bundle recordings. This technique allows a detailed study of the subjunctional conduction and gives information on the conduction pathways in ventricular arrhythmias.
