[The effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors on left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis and pronounced kidney failure].

This study compared the effects of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors captopril versus enalapril on left ventricular (LV) muscle mass and LV systolic and diastolic function in 58 patients with primary glomerulonephritis and moderate chronic renal failure. The design was a 6-8 week titration phase and 6-month maintenance phase. Mean myocardial mass calculated by M-mode echocardiography in the captopril group was 153 +/- 26 g/m2 before, and 130 +/- 14 g/m2 after 6 months of treatment, in enalapril group 147 +/- 22 g/m2 before, and 126 +/- 23 g/m2 after 6 months of treatment (p < 0.05). LV ejection fraction, early and late transmitral flow velocities and early to late LV inflow velocities ratio were not significantly affected by both ACE inhibitors.

[The prognosis of the nature of the course and outcome of infectious endocarditis].

Prognostic significance of various clinical and laboratory indices for predicting the course and outcome of infectious endocarditis (IE) has been analyzed for 139 IE patients aged 15-68 (77 males and 62 females). The unfavourable prognosis was associated with uncontrollable sepsis, persistence of circulating immune complexes and developing glomerulonephritis. The latter had also prognostic signs unfavourable for IE: moderate or severe proteinuria and/or cylindruria, reduced renal function, diffuse proliferation, pronounced extracapillary and/or tubulointerstitial components.

[The characteristics of cylindruria in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis].

Qualitative and quantitative indices of cylindruria were studied in 325 patients aged from 15 to 64 with various morphological forms of chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN). In 237 of them function of kidneys was unchanged while remaining 88 patients revealed various degrees of chronic renal failure (CRF). Parameters of cylindruria in patients with CGN varied widely, significant correlation having been established between presence of erythrocytic cylinders in urinary residue and degree of haematuria. Large granular cylinders were observed in patients with severe and moderate CRF as distinct from patients with normal renal function and initial stage of renal insufficiency.

[Therapeutic effectiveness of left atrial transesophageal electric stimulation in atrial flutter].

The efficiency of frequent asynchronous transesophageal electrical stimulation (TEES) of the left atrium in atrial flutter of various origin was analyzed in 62 patients. It was found to be depended on the etiology and duration of arrhythmia and on the frequency of atrial waves. The best results were obtained in patients with postmyocardial cardiosclerosis and coronary heart disease in acute arrhythmias and at a low (less than 300 per min) frequency of flutter waves.

[The characteristics of hematuria in chronic glomerulonephritis and nonglomerular diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract].

Upon the analysis of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of hematuria in renal and urinary tract affections it was established that whatever the red blood cell count in the urine, hematuria is primarily glomerular in contrast to nonglomerular in chronic glomerulonephritis and nonglomerular diseases of the kidneys and urinary tracts, respectively. Morphologic studies of urinary red blood cells using phase-contrast microscopy proved a valuable tool for identification of hematuria origin.
