ABSTRACT
A relationship between the emergence of ventricular arrhythmias and other signs of myocardial ischemia was assessed in 96 coronary patients on the basis of comparative results of the physical and psychoemotional stressful tests, and the nitroglycerin and aspirin tests. Ventricular rhythm disorders may develop in the course of mental exercise in some coronary patients with low hemodynamic values as the only manifestation of myocardial ischemia. Large-scale use of the mental stressful test is advocated for cardiologic medical institutions.

The efficiency of variant regimens of lidocaine management of acute myocardial infarction is compared. The need for continuous infusion of the drug throughout the first day of the attack at the rate of 1 mg per minute, and the reduction in the maximum heart rate as well as the incidence, rate and duration of the ventricular tachycardia runs are demonstrated.
