[Left axis deviation and left anterior hemiblock in patients with essential hypertension during antihypertensive treatment (author's transl)].

The ECG's of 127 patients (81 men and 46 women) with uncomplicated essential hypertension were evaluated over a 4-year period of antihypertensive treatment. At the beginning of the study in 1973, 39 men (48%) showed ECG changes of left axis derivation (LAD) and 8 men (10%) a left anterior hemiblock (LAH), while 19 women (41) showed a LAD and 4 (9%) a LAH. During the course of the study no changes were noted in the 12 cases of LAH. However, two additional men developed signs of LAD in 1975/76 and one more in 1977/78. Men with LAH were somewhat older and women with LAH heavier in comparison to the total group. The combination of LAD and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was evident in 9 men (11%) and 4 women (9%) at the beginning of the study, while 6 men (7%) and 1 woman showed a combination of LAH and LVH. Reversibility of LVH by ECG was observed in 10 patients (50%), but no concomitant changes in axis deviation were seen.

[Regression of left ventricular hypertophy in the ECG during antihypertensive treatment: preliminary observations (author's transl)].

Typical signs of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) were present in the ECG of 36 (10 women, 26 men) of 127 persons with essential hypertension (46 women, 81 men). After a two-year course of combined drug treatment (chlortalidone, reserpine, methyl-dopa, hydralazine) with effective blood-pressure reduction LVH was still present in the ECG of 29, after a four-year course of only 15 among 36, i. e. a reduction in the presence of LVH of nearly 60%. Since the patients' body-weight remained unchanged during this period, the regression in ECG changes is ascribed to the effectiveness of the drug treatment.

Cardiovascular mortality in transient ischemic attacks.

Statistical analyses were made of the mortality of persons diagnosed as having definite TIA in an epidemiologic survey of a biracial Southern community. None of the usual risk factors associated with this illness such as heart disease, hypertension or diabetes appears to account for the excess deaths observed in a 10 year period of follow up.
