The rheologic properties of blood were studied in 40 patients with ischemic heart disease both with affected and with intact cardiac coronary arteries (according to the findings of angiography) and in 13 persons with cardialgia due to vegetovascular dystonia. Significant hemorheologic pathology according to all values was revealed in patients with ischemic heart disease. It was noted that the growth of the fluidity threshold depends on the developing pathologic erythrocyte aggregation which is not associated with changes in the concentration of plasma fibrinogen. The importance of disorders in blood rheology in the origin of angina pectoris and myocardial infarction is discussed.

A total of 85 patients (68 with coronary heart disease in the presence of effort angina of various functional classes (a major group) and 17 with neurocirculatory++ dystonia and cardialgic syndrome (a control group)) were examined. Heart failure severity and blood flow distribution in the functioning myocardial areas were evaluated in transient ischemia induced by atrial pacing. Three levels of coronary venous blood flow were defined in patients with coronary heart disease. A relationship between the coronary blood flow, disease history duration, and coronary blood flow changes was examined in cardioselective exercise.

A standard questionnaire, capable of describing chest pain sensations, has been offered for patients with coronary disease and neurocirculatory dystonia, and its diagnostic value is assessed. The questionnaire comprises five sections, each corresponding to a certain type of pain. A diagnostic statement is made after each section. The questionnaire can be analysed by a physician on the basis of individual clinical experience, or computer-processed. It possesses high sensitivity and specificity in detecting typical and atypical angina and cardialgia of different types. The questionnaire can identify a category of patients with chest pains, who require instrumental diagnostic investigation to specify their origin.

Ninety-eight men were examined. Of these, 13 were practically healthy, 29 had vegetovascular dystonia, 15 stable angina pectoris, and 41 men suffered myocardial infarction. Each group was appraised for work fitness. The double product, work, chrono- and inotropic reserves of the heart, as well as the index of energy losses of the heart per unit of work were calculated. A significant decrease in chrono- and inotropic reserves of the heart were revealed in patients with demonstrable coronary pathology and with cicatricial lesions after myocardial infarction. The patients with vegetovascular dystonia showed inadequate response to the exercise, manifested by greater energy losses of the heart per unit of work as compared to normal.

Plasma somatotropic hormone and cortisol were measured at rest, at the peak of physical stress and 2 hours after the discontinuation of exercise in 15 normal male subjects, 18 male patients with neurocirculatory dystonia and 69 with angina pectoris. The determination of one-dimensional hyperplanes of plasma STH and cortisol during and after exercise allows one to distinguish anginal patients from those with neurocirculatory dystonia and make a diagnosis in patients with nonspecified chest pains.

It is established that the strength of both hands is much weaker in patients with angina pectoris than in healthy individuals. Development of an atypical cardiac pain syndrome leads to a significant diminution in the strength of the left hand of patients with angina pectoris and to a considerable reduction in endurance. In patients with cardiac-type neurocirculatory dystonia, the strength in the left hand and the endurance of isometric exertion are diminished. The endurance of dynamic exertion is sharply reduced in patients with chronic coronary insufficiency. Physical working capacity is substantially higher in patients with cardiac-type neurocirculatory dystonia than in those with angina pectoris and lower than in practically health individuals.

The results of the bicycle ergometry test in 274 patients with angina pectoris and 228 patients with cardiac-type neurocirculatory dystonia are analysed. Tolerance to physical exercise was much lower in individuals with angina pectoris than in patients with neurocirculatory dystonia. Changes in the repolarization phase on the ECG were encountered more frequently in patients with angina pectoris (82.7%) than in those with neurocirculatory dystonia (30.7%). Changes in the ST segment prevailed in the former (77.2%) and changes in T wave in the latter (20.3%). Depression of the ST segment by 1 mm and more was recorded in 10.4% of patients with neurocirculatory dystonia. Analysis of additional diagnostic criteria, however, suggested that these individuals had a false-positive test.

As many as 20 patients with neurocirculatory dystonia (NCD) and 10 IHD patients presenting with stable exertional angina were evaluated for an effectiveness of antianginal action of validol tablets commercially- and noncommercially produced, the above tablets being of the changed composition in the latter case. Validol of both changed and unchanged composition had a similar transient antianginal effect which was higher in NCD than it was in angina pectoris. Economical as well as clinical effects of validol of the changed make up warrant it to be commercially produced.

For several decades, treating patients with pacemakers has been the privilege of cardiologists. However, in the last 30 years, researchers have found new targets for electrical stimulation in different clinical subspecialities, such as deep brain stimulation (for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and some psychiatric illnesses); spinal cord stimulation (for refractory angina, chronic pain, and peripheral artery disease); and sacral (for diverse urologic and proctologic conditions), vagal (for epilepsy), and phrenic nerve stimulation (for sleep apnoea). The purpose of this article is to familiarize cardiologists with these 'extra-cardiac pacemakers' and to discuss potential issues that must be addressed when these patients undergo cardiac procedures.
