Abstract

The findings in two patients with hemodynamic evidence of intermittent severe mitral regurgitation with cyclic variation in right and left ventricular pressures are presented. Both patients had aortic and mitral valvular regurgitation of unknown etiology without definite evidence of papillary muscle dysfunction. The basis for the variation in the degree of mitral regurgitation is unclear.

[Muscle fiber hypertrophy and myocardial function of the left ventricle in patients with chronic volume stress and cardiomyopathy].

Left ventricular angiography and endomyocardial biopsy were performed in 10 patients with aortic insufficiency and in 10 patients with congestive cardiomyopathy. Muscle fibre diameter and interstitial fibrosis were determined. In aortic insufficiency the diameter of muscle fibres is highest in the endstage, while in congestive cardiomyopathy it is highest in the earliest stage.

[Selective coronary angiography with jodamide (author's transl)].

In 188 coronary angiographies Jodamide was found to be a substance which resulted in good to excellent contrasts and is so the best basis for an exact evaluation. It caused a transient fall of heart rate and blood pressure. Changes of E.C.G. disappeared quickly. Severe disturbances of the heart rhythm didn't appear. Severe general reactions were seldom and never fatal. More frequently mild reactions occurred, but only in two cases a therapy was necessary. The results show that Jodamide is an excellent contrast medium for selective coronary angiography.
