[Safety of maximal ergometric loading in a population of 37,250 individuals at risk (1969-1994)].

No fatal complications occurred in 37,250 exercise tests (98.7% symptom limited) including 683 predischarge maximal tests in patients soon after myocardial infarction. Acute myocardial infarction was observed in 4 patients, ventricular fibrillation in 1 patient was successfully resolved by defibrillation. Extension of infarct area was recorded in 1 patient soon after myocardial infarction. Complication rates decreased from 1:3,400 in years 1969-1984 to 11,700 in years 1985-1994. Maximal exercise testing soon after myocardial infarction appears to be safe too. It cannot be replaced by submaximal testing. It appears to define high-risk patients suitable for revascularization procedures.

The development of the vascular system in man.

On the basis of material comprising 10 developmental stages of man in 35 embryonic series, the authors tried to determine the critical developmental period of the blood vessel wall. This period falls between the 5th and 16th weeks of intrauterine life, that is in the period of the formation of the basic wall structure characteristic of the particular vessel type (i. e. the elastic and muscular arteries, large veins, limb veins, and lymphatics). In limbs the differences between the superficial and deep veins as regards the vessel wall development, were disclosed.
