[Cardiodynamics and myocardial contractile reserve in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy].

Cardiodynamics and myocardial contractile reserve were studied in 60 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by using radionuclide ventriculography at rest and during graded exercise test. All findings that characterize cardiodynamics (normal or higher overall ejection fraction and stroke volume or lower end-systolic volume, higher maximum ejection rate) show the contractility of the left ventricle in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which can be regarded to be more severe. During graded exercise test, in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy three types of reactions were identified: (1) positive inotropic effect; (2) negative inotropic effect; (3) intermediate (deviation of major cardiodynamic parameters was no more than 20-25% of the baseline levels). Identification of the above types allows one to assess the presence and conditions of myocardial contractile reserve implementation in these patients and to objectivize the choice of corrective drugs.

[Diastolic filling of the left ventricle in relation to the degree of its hypertrophy in patients with ischemic heart disease].

The features of diastolic filling of the left ventricle (LV) were examined in relation to the nature of its hypertrophy in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). A total of 110 male patients with CHD concurrent with essential hypertension or without it who underwent contrast ventriculography in order to determine LV diastolic stiffness. Radionuclide ventriculography was performed in 49 patients at rest and during exercise. The CHD patients with moderate LV concentric hypertrophy had more adequate LV diastolic filling in the presence of concurrent essential hypertension. Abnormal diastolic filling was more pronounced in CHD patients without hypertrophy or its eccentric development than in those without essential hypertension.

[Left ventricular hypertrophy as an indication for the prescribing of calcium antagonists in patients with ischemic heart disease].

An analysis of the dynamics of diastolic rigidity, contractile function of the left ventricle and physical load tolerance under the effect of single intakes of phynoptin and corinfar and their course use in patients with IHD showed that they were more effective in case of increased mass of the myocardium. This indicates that increased mass of the myocardium is an additional indication to calcium antagonists in these patients.

[Electrocardiographic indices in the assessment of left ventricular hypertrophy].

The authors compared the electrical activity of the heart with results of echocardiography during rest and during bicycle ergometry [correction of veloergometry] in 240 patients with ischemic heart disease, 60 patients with hypertensive disease and in 16 healthy persons. In some of the patients coronarography was carried out. It was established that the informative value of electrocardiography in assessment of the anatomo-functional state of the left ventricle depended on the contingent of the examined patients and reduces as disorders of the functional state of the myocardium tended to advance. The specificity and sensitivity of the electrocardiographic signs of left ventricular hypertrophy reduced in disturbances of ventricular conduction, presence of myocardial infarction in the anamnesis, increase of involvement of the cardiac arteries.

[The functional assessment of left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with ischemic heart disease].

It was established that left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with ischemic heart disease associated with hypertensive disease reflects a functionally more intact myocardium than similar hypertrophy in analogous patients without hypertensive disease. Hypertrophy of the left ventricle in patients with ischemic heart of different severity may be considered an index of myocardial lesion and this should be considered in the treatment tactics.

[Radionuclide ventriculography in the diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy].

Assessment of myocardial contractility function and its diastolic features (according to the results of radionuclide ventriculography with 99mTc-pertechnetate) in patients with dilatory cardiomyopathy (DCMP) revealed a significant decrease in the total ejection fraction, regional ejection fractions, cardiomegaly (an increase in the end-diastolic volume combined with an increase in end-systolic volume and a decrease in the stroke volume) and a decrease in ejection rate indices. Differential criteria for the diagnosis of DCMP and CHD were a greater degree of cardiodynamic indices and a diffuse decrease in myocardial regional contractility function in the former and heterogeneity of changes in regional contractility in the latter pathology. The process of diastolic filling in DCMP patients was characterized by a marked decrease in a filling rate at reduced time of its achievement, and in CHD patients by a decrease in a maximum filling rate in combination with increased time of its achievement.

[Causes and significance of myocardial ischemia occurring during coronary-ventriculography in patients with ischemic heart disease].

A relationship was examined between the development of myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary heart disease before coronary ventriculography and the status of coronary vessels, coronary reserve, myocardial contractility, and the autonomic nervous system. Before coronary ventriculography, myocardial ischemia was found to occur in the patients when there was a marked activation in the sympathetic portion of the autonomic nervous system and a clear-cut decrease in coronary reserve. The occurrence of myocardial ischemia in the patients before coronary ventriculography contributed to decreased left ventricular myocardial contractility and increased the cardiodepressive effects of a contrast agent.

[The regional contractility of the left ventricle in patients with ischemic heart disease and concomitant hypertension].

Differential evaluation was carried out of hypertrophy as a factor possibly of compensatory or that of furthering disturbances of the coronary circulation and contractile function of the myocardium. Echocardiography, radionuclide ventriculography tests with physical loads revealed that only moderate hypertrophy of the left ventricle in IHD patients with hypertensive disease (grade II) may be considered as one of the compensatory factors maintaining the functional state of the left ventricle myocardium.

[Effectiveness of physical training in patients who have had a myocardial infarct].

A study of the effects of exercise on cardiovascular function of myocardial infarction survivors showed their physical stress tolerance to increase as a result of improved myocardial contractility and the optimum adjustment of hemodynamic and oxygen support of exercise. Therefore, exercise should be used more extensively as part of the rehabilitation effort following myocardial infarction.

[Evaluation of the ECG T-wave changes during function tests of ischemic heart disease patients].

Differential assessment of T wave changes in response to exercise testing and contrast ventriculography appraising the condition of the coronary bed and intracardiac hemodynamics was performed in 117 patients with coronary heart disease. It is suggested that the T amplitude increasing twofold and more or reversion of the T wave in response to exercise should be considered as an evidence of abnormality.
