Cardiac lesions in nonspecific aorto-arteritis.

Cardiac conditions were examined in 48 patients with nonspecific aorto-arteritis. The authors assume that nonspecific aorto-arteritis may be accompanied by lesions, although usually moderate, of the valvular apparatus. Such defects, even moderate ones, are accessible to intravital diagnosis based on auscultation findings. Additional study is required for resolving whether such valvular defects are manifestations of the primary disease or sequelae of nonspecific aorto-arteritis combined with a rheumatic affliction. The most frequent form of cardiac lesion, however, is myocardial hypertrophy resulting from systemic hypertension. Signs of coronary insufficiency may signalize coronaritis and result from relative coronary insufficiency. Besides, there also occur symptoms of myocardial dystrophy, which in some patients may be caused by thyrotoxicosis, occasionally encountered in patients with nonspecific aorto-arteritis.

[Surgical treatment of severe forms of ischemic heart disease].

Over 400 operations of an indirect revascularization of the myocardium have been performed at the A.I. Bakulev institute of Cardiovascular Surgery of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences. Since 1970, the direct method have been developed, predominantly those of aorto-coronary bypass. Careful examination of 709 patients was carried out, 445 of them were subjected to selective coronary angiography, 108 were operated on. In 1974, 56 operations were undertaken, among them 36 aorto-coronary bypasses, in 6 of them with a preliminary endarterectomy from the coronary artery, 8 double bypasses, 6 procedures for acute myocardial infarction, 5 combined operations of aorto-coronary bypass and resections of cardiac aneurysms, and 15 resections of postinfarction aneurysms of the heart. Twelve patients died in the postoperative period, mainly due to acute cardiac insufficiency. The high figures of mortality are caused not only by the faults of the surgical procedures but also by the grave initial state of the patients (multiple coronary lesions large focal cardiosclerosis due to preceeding infarctions, high degree of initial cardiac insufficiency). The improvement of the results of surgery for the ischaemic heart disease will depend on the perfection of the surgical technique, on proper selection of the patients, and on the precise determination of the indications for such treatment.
