Based upon factor analysis, initial findings of the risk factors for coronary heart disease are reported, following invesitgations performed on a large number of patho-anatomical cases which were selected for specified criteria. The so-called hypertensive form of arteriosclerosis was demonstrated in the spleen, pancreas, and adrenal gland. It was shown that diabetes mellitus is an influencing factor in arteriolosclerosis in the liver. Several types of arterial hypertension can be differentiated according to clinical features and findings in the heart. Renoparenchymatous and renovascular sclerosis, pyelonephritis, diabetes mellitus, and age are the factors correlated or associated with various types of hypertension. Primary (?) renal hypertension can be differentiated from the secondary (?) TYPE. The discussion suggests that the morphological findings of arteriosclerosis and its complications may be explained, to a certain extent, by the known risk factors of coronary diseases defined by the methods described.

In 116 patients with coronary heart disease, essential hypertension, acute and chronic glomerulonephritis and pyelonephritis, the authors observed differences in the excretion of the ions of 42K, stable potassium, 24Na, stable sodium, chlorine as well as in the value of diuresis during the administration of equimolar solutions of potassium hydrocarbonate and potassium chloride, sodium hydrocarbonate and sodium chloride labeled with 42K and 24Na respectively. These differences depended on the expression of the basic (alkaline) characteristics of the anions of the administered solutions of potassium and sodium and the osmolarity of the administered amount of liquid. Pronounced ion exchange reactions were observed during the administration of KHCO3 solution only, the multiplicity factor of the excretion of sodium and chlorine ions with urine significantly exceeding that of diuresis. During the administration of KCl solutions in the isotonic NaCl solution and 5% glucose, the excretion of sodium and chlorine ions changed strictly in accordance with the changes of diuresis. Similar changes were noted in the administration of the solutions of sodium hydrocarbonate and sodium chloride.

The authors analyzed obesity in 1173 persons aged 75+. They were all inhabitants of the same section of the town of Brno, CSFR, 721 of them were diabetic and 452 non-diabetics. The authors concentrated on the internal analysis of both groups regarding obesity; they found it to occur much more frequently among the diabetics (p = 0.005). The difference in obesity occurrence between men and women was found to be significantly higher among diabetic women (p = 0.005). The authors also analyzed the relation of obesity to the occurrence of coronary heart disease, hypertension, cerebrovascular incidents, and chronic pyelonephritis. Higher values were found for both hypertension in obese non-diabetics (p = 0.005) and cerebrovascular incidents in obese diabetics (p = 0.025); other differences were not statistically significant. The authors compared cholesterol levels of both groups; the results are unfavorable for the obese diabetics (Table 2); only the difference between non-obese diabetics and the obese non-diabetics was not statistically significant. The authors also compared treatment regimens for obese and non-obese diabetics. A significant difference was found for diet, by which the non-obese diabetics were more frequently treated (p = 0.05).

To study the clinical picture of coronary heart disease with concomitant arterial hypertension of various genesis, 172 patients were examined, out of them the cause of arterial hypertension was hypertensive disease in 54, chronic pyelonephritis in 40, chronic glomerulonephritis in 37, and stenotic atherosclerosis of renal arteries in 29, endocrine disease in 12 patients. The patients were divided into 2 groups: (1) 148 with stenotic atherosclerosis of coronary arteries and (2) 24 patients with intact coronary arteries. Comparison of these patient groups revealed no clear-cut correlation between the age and the detection of exercise-induced angina, as well as the duration of arterial hypertension. There was no correlation between the detection of the anginal syndrome and ECG changes. The incidence of the anginal syndrome was 62.2% in Group 1 and 47.7% in Group 2. It was established that the detection of the anginal syndrome correlated well with the severity of left ventricular hypertrophy and values of blood pressure, despite nosological entities.

The objective of this study was to elucidate the incidence and clinical features of renal dysfunction and urogenital system disorders in 956 patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) and/or coronary heart disease (CHD). COLD was diagnosed in 346 patients (group 1), COLD and CHD in 402 (group 2), CHD in 211 (group 3). The methods included X-ray studies (survey and excretory urography), functional diagnostics (ECG, Doppler cardiography, assessment of external respiration, abdominal, renal, and bladder ultrasound, measurements of residual urine, transrectal and transabdominal examination of prostate). The glomerular filtration rate was estimated using Cockcrofft-Gault and MDRD formulas and Rerberg- Tareev method, renal hemodynamics by duplex scanning of renal arteries. Inflammatory urogenital diseases were most frequently diagnosed in group 2 (chronic cystitis 83.8%, chronic pyelonephritis 73.9%). Diabetic nephropathy common in this group (25.4%) was related to the high prevalence of diabetes mellitus in these patients (37.8%) compared with 26.3 and 29.9% in groups 1 and 3 respectively. Ischemic renal disease occurred in every tenth patient of group 2 or much more frequently than in groups 1 and 3. This suggests additive COLD and CHD effect on the atherosclerotic process. The combination of these diseases was responsible for a large fraction of patients with chronic renal insufficiency in group 2 (45%). It is concluded that concomitant urogenital pathology in patients with COLD results in mutual aggravation of the clinical course of the two diseases and requires additional examination and obligatory medicamentous correction.
