RESUMEN
Changes of [Ca 2+]i were studied in peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients with ischemic heart disease and heart failure. Basal [Ca 2+]i and its changes under action of mitogenes (PHA, Con A; 10 mcg/ml), butylhydroxyquinone (BHQ; 9-14 mcM) and arachidonic acid (3-10 mc/M) were measured. Patients with heart failure had pronounced changes of kinetics and amplitude of Ca 2+ response of lymphocytes to mitogenes, significantly higher amplitudes of responses to BHQ (in patients with stage IIB and III heart failure), as well as additional increment of [Ca 2+]i in response to rachidonic acid during action of optimal concentrations of BHQ. This data allowed to propose presence of supplementary inositol triphosphate insensitive calcium depots in cells of patients with heart failure. Furthermore it was possible to assume lowering of sensitivity of Ca 2+ ATP-ase of plasmatic membranes to its natural regulators.
RESUMEN
Endotoxin is a biologically active substance that has a lipopolysaccharide structure. It is found in the cell walls of microorganisms, principally gram-negative bacteria. By contacting with the cell, endotoxin enhances immunity. The findings suggest that acute myocardial infarction (AMI) occurs due to low immunity that remains the same at week 3 of the disease, thus the levels of antiendotoxin agents may be used in predicting AMI.

The influence of "running" impulse magnetic field in patients with neurocirculatory hypo- and hypertension was studied. It has been determined that magnetotherapy in all patients increased physical load tolerability and at the same time produced different effects on hemodynamics (lowering blood pressure in hypertension and increasing it in hypotension). In patients with neurocirculatory hypotension the slightly expressed positive clinical effect was obtained, that makes "running" impulse magnetic field therapy useless in this pathology. At the same time in patients with neurocirculatory hypertension "running" impulse magnetic field therapy resulted in significant improvement of physical tolerability, improvement of patients general condition, blood pressure decrease, lowering of pressor power generation concentration, correcting effect on aldosterone blood content. These data witness for the usefulness of this method in treatment of patients with neurocirculatory hypertension.

The influence of "running" impulse magnetic field, antianginal drugs and their combination on physical load tolerability, hemodynamics and functional state of hormonal system in patients with stable angina pectoris was studied. "Running" impulse magnetic field therapy produced marked antianginal effect in patients with I-II class angina and it was effective in combination with antianginal drugs in patients of III class angina. The reduction of attack frequency and significant physical load tolerability improvement was determined. The correcting influence of "running" impulse magnetic field on hypophysis-thyroid system hormones (TTH, T3, T4) was revealed, that correlates with physical load tolerability and myocardial contractility improvement. As monotherapy, the "running" impulse magnetic field can be administered to the patients with stable angina of I-II class and in combination with antianginal drugs- to the patients with severe angina.

Doppler echocardiography was used to quantify pulmonary hypertension and phase pattern of right heart systole in 140 patients with nonspecific pulmonary diseases to study hemodynamic characteristics of pulmonary circulation and right heart as well as external respiration. There appeared a relationship between the severity of pulmonary hypertension, bronchial obstruction and arterial hypoxemia. It seems that in nonspecific pulmonary diseases hemodynamic changes arise prior to functional disorders of external respiration.

The authors provide evidence on the condition of external respiration and hemodynamic shifts in the lesser and greater circulation in coronary patients with bundle-branch block; establish early objective quantitative criteria of the diagnosis of hemodynamic impairment arising in formation of the above blocks basing on ECG, phonocardiography, echocardiography findings; compare hemodynamic effects of single-dose nitrosorbide and corinfar in the above patients. Nitrosorbide and corinfar correct hemodynamics and external respiration, the former being more effective in normalizing the greater, while corinfar the lesser circulation.

The paper covers questions of the emergence and progressing of cardiorespiratory disturbances in coronary patients with defective atrioventricular conduction. The authors characterize central and peripheral hemodynamics in the above patients, diastolic ventricular filling, external respiration, the disturbances of which were studied in correlation with hemodynamic features and lipid peroxidation. The patients were examined for effects on their cardiorespiratory system of cardioselective beta-blockers, adrenomimetics, antioxidants, membrane stabilizers.

The study was undertaken to examine 84 patients mainly with coronary heart disease and various cardiac arrhythmias. Quinidine monotherapy was found to normalize heart rate depending on its baseline values: it reduced heart rate in tachycardias and increased it in bradycardia. In patients with severe myocardial damage, especially in hypertension, quinidine decreased cardiac index, whereas total peripheral resistance increased. With quinidine, systolic pressure, stroke and cardiac indices showed a more decrease, whereas diastolic pressure and total peripheral resistance displayed a more increase in the standing position. Supplement of digoxin corrected negative quinidine-induced hemodynamic changes and orthostatic failures.

The effects of the running pulse magnetic field, antianginal drug therapy and their combinations on the physical capacity were compared in 60 patients with Functional Classes I-III stable angina pectoris. Monotherapy with the running pulse magnetic field was found to produce an antianginal effect in patients with Functional Classes I-II angina pectoris, but the efficacy of drug therapy increased when antianginal drugs were used in combination with running pulse magnetic field in patients with severe angina.

Coronary arterial affection (CAA) is an objective indicator, closely related to cardiac contractility as well as clinical severity and immediate prognosis of myocardial infarction. The progress of CAA is associated with more pronounced disorders of cardiac contractility, higher rates of severe complications and less optimistic immediate prognosis. Long-term prognosis is not affected by the magnitude of CAA in postmyocardial-infarction patients.
