Transmural infarction was found in 96.7% of the patients of the first infarction group vs 82.2% of the patients of the repeated infarction group (p less than 0.05). A statistically significant difference for the time of death was found only for the group patients who died after the 7th day of the infarction--0% for the first infarction group and 25.8% for the repeated infarction group (p less than 0.001).

117 patients, 89 men and 28 women, with repeated myocardial infarction were followed up for a two year period. The following were taken into consideration: risk factors, number and localization of previous infarctions, interinfarction period, clinical onset of the new infarction, complications, electrocardiographic changes, time of death, causes of death, pathologicoanatomical localization of the new and old infarctions in comparison with the electrocardiographic localization. Statistically significant differences between the two sexes were found for the death of cardiogenic shock--48.9% for men and 13.3 for women (p less than 0.01) and for chronic cardiac failure as a complication of the second myocardial infarction--50.0% for women and 16.1% for men (p less than 0.001). For all other indices the differences were not statistically significant.

The results are reported from the administration of nifedipine to 39 patients with arterial hypertension. Thirty one of the patients suffered from hypertonic disease, and 8 had symptomatic hypertension. Light hypertension was established in 26 of the patients, moderate--10 and grave--3. In 22 of the patients (66.6%)--16 with light and 6 with moderate hypertension, the arterial pressure was normalized by the administration of nifedipine alone, 40 mg daily. In 16 patients the arterial hypertension was coped with the addition of beta-blockers, diuretic and clonidine. Only one patient failed to respond to the treatment. The effect advanced on 3rd--4th day on the average with the treatment with nifedipine alone and after 4-6 days after the inclusion of the double combination. Negligible and transitory adverse effects were observed in single patients. Nifedipine, administered alone or in combination with beta-blockers, diuretic and clonidine is an excellent agent in the treatment of light and moderate arterial hypertension.
