[Effect of a bicycle ergometry training program in the acute phase of viral hepatitis on its late prognosis].

37 patients with clinically and histologically ascertained acute virus hepatitis (51% virus hepatitis B) underwent a bicycle-ergometric load a short time after admission to hospital and 17 of them were subsequently submitted to a training from twice a day to 30 minutes with 70% of the submaximal steady state effect. After their discharge from hospital all patients were repeatedly examined in the outpatient department for on an average 2.7 years; 20 patients (8 in the load group, 12 in the comparative group) were submitted to a liver biopsy on an average after one year. In 11 of the other patients the result of a histological examination of the liver from the end of the clinical treatment was present. The comparison of the training group and the control group showed nearly the same percentage of cures for the two groups as well as no transitions into chronic hepatitis in the training group. Also clinical and biochemical relapses did not appear in the load group. In a follow-up observation up to five years in the training group did not appear any disadvantage concerning the complete cure of virus hepatitis so that we apparently do not fear any negative sequels of physical activity in the acute phase of virus hepatitis. A forced immobilisation of the body--after proved ineffectiveness of diet and medicamentous treatment last support of the therapeutic regime--thus seems no more be indicated, since it is also accompanied by impairing reduction of the bodily function.

[Changes in the hemodynamic indices in the subacute stage of myocardial infarct before and after bicyle ergometry].

The basic hemodynamic indices: cardiac volume, volume of circulating plasma and blood, total peripheral vascular resistance and velolity of blood flow were studied in 60 patients with myocardial infarction, subacute stage in progress, prior to and post veloergometric loading. A decreased tolerance to physical loading was established: cardiac index--insignificantly increased, beat volume-decreased, volume of circulating plasma and blood--tendency to increase. The results show a dependence on the clinical development of the disease--the signs of a latent insufficiency being manifested in the cases with extensive localization of the infarction, transmural affection and with a formed aneurisma after a dosed loading.

[Principles of ergometry. - Part II: criteria for assessment of the exercise test. Criteria for interpretation (author's transl)].

Because exercise testing is of value not only for "qualitative" but even more for "quantitative" diagnostic purposes, the exercise ECG is often of minor importance in relation to the other exercise responses. 1. Exercise capacity. Maximal aerobic power or aerobic capacity as a measure of physical and cardiovascular performance can not be calculated from measurements during submaximal exercise (with the exception of young healthy persons), but correlates well with the maximal workload attained in a (symptom-limited) maximal test when sex, age and the state of health as well as of physical training are taken into account. Therefore, exercise capacity as measured in such a test is of diagnostic and prognostic significance. 2. Heart rate. Changes in heart rate at a given submaximal workload correlate well with qualitative changes of exercise capacity in the individual. The peak heart rate that is attained in a (symptom-limited) maximal exercise test (HR max) varies greatly interindividually. It declines with age and because heart rate is one of the major determinants of myocardial oxygen uptake it is a measure of "coronary reserve" in the patient with coronary heart disease. Limits for professional activities or other physical exercise may be expressed as a certain percentage of HR max (% HR max). 3. Blood pressure. An inadequate rise of systolic blood pressure or a fall despite increasing workloads indicate inadequacy of cardiac output. In coronary heart disease, it is often a sign of acute left ventricular dysfunction due to reversible ischemia and is of therapeutic and prognostic consequence. 4. ECG. Electrocardiographic changes should always be related to other exercise responses. Sensitivity and specificity of the ST-segment changes depend on sex, age, resting ECG, type of exercise, lead system and medical treatment. In coronary heart disease, "Bayes' theorem" should be regarded. The predictive value of a test result should be calculated, based on the prevalence and the pretest likelihood of the disease. Other than ST-segment changes are or relatively minor significance or need further evaluation.

[Growth hormone level dynamics in acromegaly in response to glucose load and measured bicycle ergometry].

The work is based on the materials of clinical examination of 67 patients with acromegaly. Study of the hypothalamo-hypophysial reaction in respect to the growth hormone secretion in patients with acromeglay revealed correlation between the clinical picture indicating the progress of the disease and pointing to the activity of the process according to the results of glucose load and dosaged veloergometry test. Dosaged physical exercise can be used to determine the activity of the process in patients with acromegaly accompanied by disturbances of the carbohydrate metabolism when glucose load was contraindicated.
