[The drug treatment of cardiogenic shock--our experience].

For the period 1970-1989 in the intensive care unit of the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, 178 patients with cardiogenic shock were treated and died. These patients were studied retrospectively. In all patients an acute myocardial infarction was proved clinically and post mortem. The patients were classified into two groups--group A--those treated during the period 1970-1975 and group B--those treated during the period 1985-1989. The analysis of the risk factors and the time of hospitalization since the onset of the clinical symptoms showed no differences between the two groups. In the therapeutic programme of group B new contemporary means and methods, such as dopamine, vasodilators and electrostimulation, were included. This accounts for the longer survival of the patients from this group (about 60% of the patients survived more than 24 h), which allows them a chance to overcome this fatal condition.

[The diagnostic potentials of spatial velocity ECG in assessing the changes in ventricular depolarization].

The study includes 702 patients (with left ventricular load, myocardial infarction and bundle branch block) and 130 healthy persons. To all these a spatial velocity EKG was made (SVEKG) as well as corrected orthogonal electro- and vectorcardiogram according to Frank, spatial ECG and standard EKG in 12 leads. The indices of the spatial velocity ECG were compared with those of the other methods on the basis of the criteria sensitivity and specificity. In the patients with right ventricular load the indices of the spatial electrocardiography showed the highest sensitivity; in the patients with left ventricular load and bundle branch block the indices of the corrected orthogonal electrocardiography showed the highest sensitivity. In the patients with myocardial infarction the potentials of several methods were equal. The insufficient number of investigations concerning the spatial velocity ECG cannot give a clear view of its potentials and its place in the clinical practice but some of its advantages make it very convenient for preparing a system of automatic analysis of the heart electrophysiological signal.

[Planimetric analysis of ventricular depolarization on Frank's corrected orthogonal electrocardiogram in healthy hearts and in patients with ventricular loading].

Nineteen planimetric indices of 110 cardiac healthy subjects, 141 patient with left ventricle loading and 136 patients with right ventricle loading are analyzed. On the base of the variation analysis and determination of statistically significant differences, it was established that in right-ventricular loading the following indices deviate from the norm: ASX, AQZ, AQRSX, AQRSz, SAQRSx, SAQRSy, SAQRSz, SAS, SAQRSg, whereas in left-ventricular loading -- ARx, ARz, AQRSx, AQRSz, SAQRx, SAQRSy, SAQRz, SAR, SAQRSg. At a second stage, the sensitivity of the separate indices from the groups with left ventricular and right-ventricular loading was amalyzed, as well as the separate subgroups (pulmonary stenosis, aortic stenosis, mitral stenosis, interauricular defect, arterial hypertension, mitral or aortic insufficiency. The results were compared with those of axial indices, obtained from another investigation of the authors. The planimetric analysis was established to be more complex than the axial and the index SAQRSg to be with the best sensitivity in the cases with hemodynamically lightly loaded musculature.

[Comparison of precordial electrocartography with pathologicoanatomic data on 20 patients with recent myocardial infarct].

In 20 patients with recent myocardial infarction, that died till the 40th day after the onset of the disease, a comparison is made of the data from the pathologoanatomical findings with the indices from the precordial electromapping. The changes in the ST segment of the precordial electromapping correlate, to a significant extent, to the weight of the infarction zone in patients with interior site of the myocardial infarction (sigmaST r = 0.89, p less than or equal to 0.01; nST r = 0.62, p less than or equal to 0.01). The indices from the precordial electromapping characterizing the changes in depolarization, are with a considerable less degree of correlation dependence to the weight of the enfarcted zone in the same patients (nQS r = 0.62, p less than or equal to 0.62, p less than or equal to 0.05; sigmaAR r/0.45, p less than or equal to 0.05). In patients with posterior and/or inferior site of the infarction the correlation dependence to the indices from the precordial electromapping is less manifested.

[Precordial electrocartography (mapping) in cardiac infarct].

After a detailed literature survey the authors share the results from the precordial electromapping with the registration of 30 points upon the chest in 34 patients with ischemic heart disease (30 with transmural infarction and 4 with intermediary syndrome). The following indices were followed up: sigmaST (the sum of the elevation of ST segment measured at 60 msec of the S deflection recording) and the index nST (the sum of the points with an elevation greater than 0.1 mV/1 mm). Both indices well correlate to the level of blood creatine phosphokinase, determined 24 hours after the examination. Due to the close degree of correlation dependence, the two indices are interchangable for the practice. The precordial electromapping reflects the degree of extent of the "myocardial hypoxia" as well as the degree of the disturbed biological activity of the tissues, affected by the myocardial infarction.

[Diagnostic value of Frank's corrected orthogonal electrocardiogram].

The changes in the corrected orthogonal electrocardiograms of 411 patients were analyzed: 134 with right ventricle loading, 137 with left ventricle loading and 140 with myocardial infarction (chronic phase). On the base of sensitivity and specificity criteria the indices SXmV, SXmsec and QZmV for the patients with right ventricle loading and RXmV and RZmV for the patients with left ventricle loading proved to be with the highest diagnostic value. Sensitivity is within 19% to 61%. Sensitivity is within 85% and 95% in patients with myocardial infarction (chronic phase), for the different indices depending on the infarction zone. The comparative analyses of the indices of the corrected orthagonal Frank electrocardiogram and the standard electrocardiogram (12 leads) give a certain preference to the indices of the standard electrocardiography.

[Spatial analysis of the electrophysiological changes in ventricular loading].

Space analysis methods of the changes in heart electromotive force are described (EMF). The size of the space vector in millivolts, azimuth and elevation are obtained by formula substitution in the mathematical analysis. The same values, in graphis analysis, are obtained by the "Circle for space vectors determination", proposed by the authors. Axial and space analysis of the changes in the electrogenesis of right ventricle was performed in 27 patients with pulmonary stenosis, confirmed by catheterization, on the base of the corrective orthogonal electrocardiogram according to Frank. The axial indices, indicating the size of the forces directed to the right (Sxmv) and forward (Qzmv) are compared as well as the size, elevation and azimuth of the maximal space vector, directed to the right (Vmax.sp-x) and forward (Vmax.sp-z). The index from the axial analysis (sensitivity 62%, r = 0.65) shows a priority for the forces, directed to the right. The priority is on the side of the indices from space analysis (sensitivity 33%, r = 0.78) in case of forces directed forward. There is no statistically significant difference in the diagnostic value of the two methods.

[Atypical hypoxic changes in the T wave].

Three patients with clinical diagnosis of myocardial infarction are described, whose cardiograms are characterized by a transitory positivation of the negative T-waves. The confrontation of those changes with the clinical picture reveals that the transitory positivation of the T-wave coincides with the clinical and paraclinical signs of intensification of the myocardial hypoxia (pain, collapse, enzyme positivation). The possible electrophysiological mechanisms are discussed that could explain the transitory positivation of the negative T-waves, as a manifestation of the intensified ischemia.
