[Individual parameters of general low-frequency magnetic therapy as a possibility for improving the clinical efficacy of the combined treatment of patients with essential arterial hypertension].

A new approach is proposed for the choice of low-frequency magnetic therapy on an individual basis using the results of analysis of heart rhythm variability. The clinical efficiency of low-frequency magnetic therapy incorporated in the combined treatment of 65 patients aged between 25 and 45 years with essential arterial hypertension was estimated. The statistically significant positive effects of the treatment included normalization of blood pressure and characteristics of heart rhythm variability as well as resolution of clinical symptoms of vegetative dysregulation.

[Correlations between heart rate variability, renin activity and plasma aldosteron concentration in chronic glomerulonephritis with intact function of the kidneys].

AIM: To study correlations between heart rate variability (HRV), renin activity and blood aldosteron in chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) with intact renal function. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 136 CGN patients with intact renal function were examined (100 hypertensive and 36 normotensive patients). HRV was studied with 24-h ECG monitoring. Active renin (AR) and aldosteron in blood plasma was studied with radioimmunoassay. RESULTS: The analysis of HRV detected a progressive attenuation of vegetative impacts on the cardiovascular system with aggravation of hypertension in CGN patients with intact renal function. In hypertension of the second and third degree AR and aldosteron levels increased. CONCLUSION: With arterial hypertension progression in CGN patients with intact renal function, vegetative impacts on the cardiovascular system diminished while the levels of active renin and aldosterone rose.

[Introduction of tele-medical electrocardiographic system in regional general hospital]. / Opyt vnedreniia telemeditsinskoi élektrokardiograficheskoi sistemy v oblastnoi mnogoprofil'noi klinicheskoi bol'nitse.

The paper reviews the experience in setting up and functioning of telemedical electrocardiographic system in a regional hospital with utilization of current potential of telephone ECG transmission-reception: individual ECG registers-transmitters including devices with "a reverse loop". It is shown that ECG registration by patients themselves with its transmission by telephone facilitates diagnosis of rare paroxysmal conditions and follow-up of cardiological outpatients. Changes in the number of ECGs made for 25 years in the regional center of remote cardiological diagnosis is analysed.
