Abstract

Subjects with borderline glucose tolerance are at a higher risk of suffering and dying from cardiovascular disease than subjects with normal glucose tolerance. Our data on the progression to overt diabetes and our data on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality suggests that tolbutamide treatment reduces these risks. In any case, we have no data supporting the theory that tolbutamide promotes cardiovascular damage.

[Progress in the therapy of acute and chronic cardiac insufficiency by means of systemic vasodilators. Studies with prazosin and nitroglycerin].

In acute and chronic left heart failure peripheral resistance is elevated due to increased sympathetic tone. This should compensate the decrease in stroke volume. In the diseased left ventricle however the augmentation of afterload leads to further reduction of stroke volume and to increase of heart size and myocardial oxygen consumption. This vitious cycle may be interrupted by vasodilators. Drugs like nitroglycerin, mainly acting on the venous system, reduce preload and thereby relieve symptoms of pulmonary congestion (backward failure). Phentholamin on the other hand primarily reduces afterload by an action on the resistance vessels and thereby increases cardiac output (forward failure). Nitroprusside has effects on both, the capacity and resistance vessels. So nigroglycerin is the remedy of choice in acute pulmonary edema. Nitroprusside in leftf heart failure in acute myocardial infarction and Phentolamin in acute left ventricular failure due to critical rise in blood pressure. For long term treatment of chronic left heart failure (coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, rheumatic heart disease) hydralazin or prazosin may be used as well as long acting nitrates.

[The first three-stage preparation for hormonal contraception. Clinical results (author's transl)].

The controlled clinical trial is reported of a new three-stage oral contraceptive which has meanwhile been introduced on to the market under the trade name Triquilar. Triquilar has a reliable contraceptive action: no pregnancy occurred in 8068 treatment cycles. In spite of the very low doses of estrogen and gestagen--Triquilar contains the lowest total quantity of steroids of all available preparations--the multistage structure guarantees an outstanding cycle control and a particularly good general tolerance. The reasons are discussed which today support the use of an oral contraceptive with the lowest possible amounts of the two hormone components.
