[Reproducibility of the clinical, electrocardiographic and coronarographic aspects of spontaneous coronary spasm with the use of ergonovine maleate].

Five patients affected by angina pectoris showed a spontaneous attack of myocardial ischemia in the course of coronary arteriography examination. During the ischemic episode it was shown a severe coronary arterial spasm promptly relieved by nitroglycerin. In these patients the administration of ergonovine maleate induced the same clinical, electrocardiographic and coronariographic patterns of spontaneous ischemic episodes. These data support the hypotesis that the ergonovine maleate administration is a suitable test for detection of the vasospastic pathogenesis in acute myocardial ischemia.

[Complications observed in 800 cases with implanted permanent endocardial pacemakers (author's transl)].

The Authors discuss their research on 800 endocardial permanent pacemakers (ventricular, atrial, and bifocal) implanted during six years. In the light of the examination of the literature, the AA. report the complications registered, in particular: lead's displacing 6.2%, run away 0.7%, marked hyperthermya 0.0%, haemorrage 0.4%, wound dehiscence 0.3%, asectic necrosis by decubitus 5%, septic necrosis 0.3%, perforation of the heart 0.2%, pulmonary embolism 0.1%. Both the most common causes of complications and the technical expedients employed to minimize the complication rates are being discussed.

[Coronary artery spasm induced by the somministration of ergonovine maleate in subjects with spontaneous angina (author's transl)].

In 6 patients affected by spontaneous angina with S-T elevation and coronariographic findings of obstruction, intravenous administration of ergonovine maleate determined the same clinical and ECG patterns of spontaneous episodes. The coronary arteriography during pain showed a marked spasm with occlusion of a large coronary vessel in four patients. In 2 patients with atypical chest pain and normal coronariogram, E.M. did not induce pain, ECG abnormality or coronariographic alterations. The role of spasm in spontaneous angina is discussed.
