[Diagnosis of hyperprolactinaemias: respective value of response to THR and to bromocriptine (author's transl)].

Seventy tests of stimulation with hypothalamic thyreotrophic hormone liberation factor, and 35 bromocriptine inhibition tests were carried out on a routine basis in patients with latent or frank hyperprolactinaemia. Pathological hyperprolactinaemia does not have a single clinical pattern: frank, it takes the form either of an exteriorised pituitary adenoma (14 cases), or of an amenorrhoea-galactorrhoea syndrome with or without micro-adenoma (12 cases); latent, it takes the form either of isolated amenorrhoea (17 cases) or of dysovulatory sterility (16 cases). Amongst the dynamic tests available, it is worthwhile to make a choice, and in the case of frank hyperprolactinaemia, the authors propose use of the bromocriptine inhibition test in the first instance. The TRH test is reserved for verification of the results of neurosurgery. As far as latent hyperprolactinaemia is concerned, it may be identify only by the TRH test, with the resultant possibility of specific treatment.

[Myocardiopathies during pregnancy. Possible role of beta-mimetics].

The authors report two cases of severe non-obstructive cardiomyopathy presenting at the end of pregnancy in young women treated for long periods and at high dosage with beta 2-adrenoceptor stimulants, prescribed for threatened abortion or premature labour. The circumstances of the presentation, the clinical prescribed for threatened abortion or premature labour. The circumstances of the presentation, the clinical picture and the course towards complete recovery suggest that this might be a pathological process different from "cardiomyopathy of pregnancy" and be an "adrenergic myocarditis" induced or made worse by these drugs. The authors deduce some simple preventive measures.
