[Dynamics of indices of peripheral circulation as one of the prognostic criteria in acute myocardial infarction]. / Dinamika pokazatelei perifericheskogo krovotoka kak odin iz prognosticheskikh kriteriev pri ostrom infarkte miokarda.

The results of our investigations demonstrate that significant differences exist in peripheral hemodynamics of patients with severe and more favourable course of acute myocardial infarction. This can be explained by different types of hemodynamics. Thus, such parameters as arterial inflow and venous outflow can serve prognostic factors of acute myocardial infarction.

[The clinical efficacy of the first Russian angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor methiopril in patients with heart failure]. / Klinicheskaia éffektivnost' pervogo otechestvennogo ingibitora angiotenzinprevrashchaiushchego fermenta metioprila u bol'nykh s serdechnoi nedostatochnost'iu.

Changes in central hemodynamics as recorded by tetrapolar rheography were investigated in 90 coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with circulatory insufficiency (CI) receiving methiopril. Relevant clinical response was registered in 94%, hemodynamic in 83% of patients. Those with CI stage IIA and IIB benefited more. Arterial pressure went down significantly only in CHD patients with arterial hypertension. Tachycardia patients showed a reduction in pulse rate absent in bradycardia. Cardiac output increased at the expense of low afterload. Efficient doses averaged 300 mg/day.
