[Vectorcardiographic evolution after a valve replacement operation].

Abstract

The vectorcardiograms of 35 patients with valvular heart disease were recorded before and after prosthetic valve replacement. The spatial magnitude of the 40 msec and maximum QRS vectors were decreased postoperatively in patients with mitral insufficiency aortic stenosis and aortic insufficiency. 9 patients were studied postoperatively by right heart catheterization.

Low incidence of serotonin-induced occlusive coronary artery spasm in patients with recent myocardial infarction.

Intracoronary infusion of serotonin has been reported to induce varying degrees of coronary vasoconstriction in different coronary syndromes, but it has never been studied in patients after myocardial infarction. In patients with recent myocardial infarction, we found a low incidence (11%) of serotonin-induced occlusive spasm only in the infarct-related artery (IRA), and a significantly higher vasoconstriction in the distal segment of the IRA than in the same segment of the non-IRA.
