Summary: The intensive use of echocardiography increases the
probabilityof correct diagnosis of amyloid cardiomyopathy, but on the
otherhand increases the risk of erroneously diagnosing cardiacamyloidosis
as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which was the case inthree out five our
patients.
In combination with EKG finding of low voltage and
positive99m-Tc-pyrophosphate myocardial uptake, echocardiography is
veryuseful, specific and sensitive method in differential diagnosisof
infiltrative cardiomyopathy, and it is a method of choice inearly diagnosis
of cardiac amyloidosis.
Echocardiography is easy to perform and it can be used forlongitudinal
follow-up of patients to demonstrate the evolutionof cardiac amyloidois
which is of great importance in makingtherapeutic decisions.

Summary: In this study the incidence and the development of acute
renalfailure (ARF) in heart transplant recipients is presented. Amongthe
thirteen heart tranplant recipients eight of them developedoliguric or
nonoliguric ARF. Besides the known factors such asactual condition of the
patient, kidney function, peri andpost-operative compromised circulation,
our results demonstratethe significance of postoperative cyclosporin
concentration incombination with the use of other drugs. The results also
showthe importance of the way of cyclosporin has been administrated.The
parenteral route of appliance is connected with the greaterrisk of higher
drug concentration in the plasma than the peroralone. In connection with
this is the higher incidence of adversereactions to cyclosporin given
parenterally. In addition toranitidine and captopril, which have been
mentioned earlier, thefindings of our study indicate that greater attention
has to bepaid to the tretment with ketokonazol given in combination
withcyclosporin clearance. Other nephrotoxic drugs like amphotericinalso
increase the possibility of renal lesions. The incidence ofacute renal
failure in this group of patients is high. Our datasuggests that the
reasons for the development of ARF aremultifactorial. These data further
suggest that a reasonable wayto solve nonoliguric form of acute renal
failure is to maintainthe "internal balance" and that it is not neccessary
to performextracorporeal elimination of nitrogen substances, if there areno
additional complications (i.e. gastrointestinal bleeding). Anearly
application of hemodyalisis in the oliguric form of acuterenal failure
enables survival in the first phase, first of all,by the influence on
hyperkaliemia and fluid overload.

Summary: Background. In patients with distension of the left
ventricle MRoccurs and becomes more and more pronounced with the
progressionof the disease. Twenty-seven patients in functional NYHA
classesIII-IV with anaverage ejection fraction value of 20% wereexamined.
Methods. Hemodynamically significant mitral regurgitation wasregistered in
18 patients following the application of thepulsating Doppler. In view of
the fact that all the patients hadan elevated left ventricular filling
pressure (PCP) of 20 mmHg ormore, 40mg of furosemide was applied iv. during
the acutetherapeutical examination using right heart catheterization. Ofthe
19 patients in the first group who responded well tofurosemide, in 9
patients without mitral regurgitation thecardiac index values dropped by
20%, while the systemic vascularresistence rose by 15%. In the remaining 10
patients of thisgroup who had a pronounced mitral regurgitation, cardiac
indexvalues increased by 23%, the systemic vascular resistencedecreased by
20%. In the patients of the first group the leftventricular pressure
dropped by 40%. In the second group therewere 8 patients who continued to
have elevated left ventricularfilling values of over 20mmHg in spite of the
furosemide therapy.These patients were in the IV functional NYHA class and
hadpronounced mitral regurgitation. A combination of isosorbidedinitrate
(5mg) and dihydralazine (25mg) was administredperorally to these patients.
Sixty minutes after the applicationof the vasodilatator the cardiac index
increased by 39%, the SVRdropped by 31% and the PCP decreased by 32%.
Conclusions. Furosemide with addition of vasodilatator whenevernecessary
reduces the volume of the left ventricle at the end ofthe diastole and
systole, thus reducing the disfunction of thesubvalvular apparatus in
patients with haemodynamicallysignificant mitral regurgitation. This in
turn reduces theregurgitation fraction and increases the left
ventricularsastolic function. In patients with dilated
cardiomyopathy,mitral regurgitaion is often haemodynamically significant
andprobably requires a special therapeutical approach.

Summary: A dynamic model for the estimation of a residual
hypotensiveefficacy of nitroglycerin (NG) infusion was constructed
todistinguished secondary resistance from tolerance to NG, as lostvs
weakened efficiency. The model was tested by individualcomparison in 82 of
92 patients with acute myocardial infarctionor unstable angina. Ten
patients were excluded from the studyprotocol due to complications that
required therapy modification.NG infusion (20 umg/ml) efficiency was
initially confirmed by a10% decrease in the mean brachial artery (cuff)
blood pressure.The infusion (63 hours mean duration) was discontinued every
12hours for 30 minutes and pressure changes were analyzed. If NGhypotensive
efficacy was maintained (as proved by at least 10%pressure increase),
infusion was carried on using the initialdose. Lack of 10% pressure
increase after 30-minute infusiondiscontinuity (tolerance) indicated the
need for an increase inthe NG dose until 10% pressure decrease (not below
105/60) was obtained. Lack of 10% pressure decrease, with a 5-fold
increasein NG dose (up to 320 ug/ml), was considered to be a sign
ofsecondary resistance. There were no proceeding complications andtolerance
was found in 72 patients. Beside tolerance, secondaryresistance was
simultaneously present in 16 patients, while theNG efficacy was restored by
dose increase in the remaining 78% oftolerant patients.
"Paradoxical"pressure decrease waqs noted in12 tolerant patients after the
infusion interruption, while"paradoxical" pressure increase was observed in
3 resistantpatients during the infusion acceleration. The model
separatedsecondary resistance from tolerance to NG, and showed that
NHGefficacy is possible by increasing the dose in most jof thetolerant
patients.

Summary: Aims. To determine the frequency of tolerance development
tonitroglycerin infusion during the 72-hour period of acutemyocardial
infarction or unstable angina pectoris treatment.
Methods. Tolerance development to nitroglycerin infusion wasdetermined by
measuring changes in blood pressure following theperiodical discontinuation
of infusion every 12 hours over theperiod of 72 hours. The study included
60 patients with acutemyocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris.
Loss of a 10%increase in mean arterial blood pressure as a response to
a30-minute interruption of nitroglycerin infusion was considered asign of
tolerance.
Results. The number of patients who developed tolerance
increasedprogressively during the first 24 hours (p<0.01). In mostpatients
tolerance appeared during the first 36 hours of NGinffusion (p<0.01). After
12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 hours ofinfusion, tolerance was registered in
57%, 73%, 87% and 92% ofthe patients, respectively.
Conclusions. As 82% of the patients developed tolerance duringthe first 36
hours, interruption of infusion seems to beindicated during further nitrate
treatment. A new model fortolerance investigation is suggested.

Summary: Left-sided endomyocardial biopsy was performed in six
patients to determine the etiology ofprimary cardiomyopathy in children.
There werw 4 male and 2 female patients aged 8 to 15 years(mean was 12
years and 11mo.).All children were of white race.The endomyocardial
specimens were evaluated by light microscopy in all and by electron
microscopy in two patients. There were no serious complications during or
after the procedure. In all three patients with dilatative cardiomyopaty we
found myonecrosis, probably due to myocarditis. Primary mitochondrial
patology was found in one child usin electron microscopy. This finding
cirrelated with the patology of the neuromuscular system (scapuloperoneal
amyotrophy).One child with malignant ventricular tachycardia showed
degenerative changes in the apicoseptal part of the LV, probably after
myocarditis was found. The patient also developed aottal regurgitation. in
the other one, with asymmetric HCM (with no positiv family history)
characeristic findings for HCM were found. The specimen from a 15-years old
female with clinically restrictive cardiomyopathy showed primary cardial
amyloidosis. The etiology of cardiomyopathy was determined in all patients,
by neans of endomyocardial biopsy. These results show that the
endomyocardial biopsy techniqe is a highly sensitive method in children
with myocardial disorders. In this way the necessity of endomyocardial
biopsy and pathohistological analysis in all children with suspested
primary myocardial disease is confirmed.

Summary: A 58 years old woman was admitted to this hospital because
of retrosternal pain followed by dyspnea which developed a few hours prior
to admission, and two week history of progressive intolerance of physical
effort. Echocardiography was done which revealed enlarged cavity of the
right atrium (59x54 mm) and right ventricle (46 mm) of the heart.
Scintigraphy showed numerous triangular lung zones of sharply decreased or
completly absent perfusion. After the diagnosis of recurrent pulmonary
embolism, the patient was treated with intravenous heparin at the dosage
25000ij a day for 10 days. Dyspnea settled within 48 hours of starting
heparin, analysis of arterial blood gases became normal and the general
condition of the patient improved. A repeated echocardiogram showed a
significantly reduced dilatation of the right atrium from 59x54 mm to 47x43
mm and decreased pulmonary hypertension from 110 mmHg, on admission, to 65
mmHg.

Summary: During the period of air-raid alarms in Zagreb(September
1991) ,the influence of war induced stress on the incidence and mortality
of acute coronary artery disease was investigated. Control periods was
September 1989. and September 1990. Among 2903 patients admitted to
Emergency Care Units, 369(13%) were examined for suspected acute coronary
artery disease. During the same periods in 1989. and 1990., 10 and 11% of
acute coronary artery disease patients were recorded, respectively. The
percentage of patients with myocardial infarction or unstable angina,
admitted to Coronary Care Units during September 1989., 1990., 1991. was
49%, 50% ande 55% respectively. The number of Q myocardial patients
admitted during September 1991. was significantly higher than that recorded
during the same period in 1990. The incidence and mortality patterns in
acute coronary artery disease patients were also exemined during August,
September and October 1991. The peak incidence of acute coronary artery
disease was found in the first half of September, while the peak mortality
in these patients was found during the second half of September. During the
second half of September of l989., 1990. and 1991., the mortality in Q
myocardial patients in Coronary Care Units was 16.7%, 15.2% and 23.8%
respectively. Besides the war induced stress, transportation of our
patients to shelters or inner parts of the hospital caused additional
stress, probably contributing to the development of refractory malignant
arrhytmia or heart failure.

Summary: Our study covered five patients, three men and two women,
aged 53+/-13(38-66), suffering from therapeutic refractory heart failure.
Following a comprehensive cardiological diagnostic procedure, ishemic
dilated cardiomyopahy was diagnosed in four of them, while one of the
female patients was found to have a chronic pulmonary heart resulting from
recurrent pulmonary embolism. All patients under went right heart
catheterization, and on the bases of the obtained hemodynamic parameters,
the peroral treatment was either adapted or modified (digitalis, diuretic,
ACE inhibitor). A cardio-selective beta-blocker was introduced in two
patients, while in one of the patients ventricular elestrostimulator was
applied to accelerate the heart rate. Right heart catheterization was
repeted after seven days wen the following changes were observed: an
increase in the cardiac output (38%) and cardiac index(42%), a decrease in
the right atrial pressure(45%), pilmonary capilary pressure(25%) and
systemic vascular resistance(30%). Following the introduction of a "new"
therapy, of five patients with NYHA IV stage, three passed to NYHA II, and
two passed to NYHA III. Owing to the progression of the disease, one of the
female patients with NYHA III group, underwent heart surgery with a good
result. In conclusion by applying repeated invasive hemodynamic diagnostic
procedures, it is possible to treat effectively refractory heart failure by
simple oral drug administration.

Summary: Catheter fulguration was performed in 20 patients with
simptomatc ventricular tachycardia (VT) refractory to antiarrhytmic drugs.
Their mean age was 52+/-14 years.Thirteen petients had coronary artery
disease, 3 patients had other types of heart disease , and 4 had no
structural heart disease. Seventeen patients had one morphology and 3
patients had two different morphologies of clinical VT with a mean cycle
length of 350+/-55ms. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction was
35+/-13%. One to five shocks of 150 to 300 jouls were delivered to the
endocardial site of VT origin as determened by endocardial mapping and
pace-mapping. The mean earliest VT activation time was 42+/-26 ms. A good
pace-mapping was achived in 16 patients. The mean delivered cumalative
energy per patient was 810+/-480 jouls. During the control
electrophisiologic investigation (2 to 3 months later), VT was still
inducible in 9 patients. Catheter fulguration was successful in 10(50%)
patients, who had no recurrence of VT (or sudden death) either on no
antiarrhytmic drugs(9 patients) or on the same antiarrhytmic drug that were
ineffective before the procedure (one patient), over a follow-up period of
28+/-19 moths. The fulguration was unsuccessful in 10(50%) patients, a 4 of
whom died suddenly with a mean follow up period of 8+/-1 months. The
patients with successful outcome of VT fulguration had a significantly
lower incidence of Vt inducibility during the control investigation than
the patients with unsuccessful outcome (80% versus 20%, p<0.01). Catether
fulguration of VT is a relatively effective and safe technique in treatment
of highly selected patients, who have monomorphic VT. Successful outcome of
VT fulguration may be predicted by the noninducibility of VT 2 to 3 months
after the procedure.

Summary: We prospectively studied the natural history of infra-His
atrioventricular(AV) block induced by atrial pacing(AP) in patients (pts)
with chronic bundle branch block(BBB) and syncope, comparing 204 pts with
normal response to AP(Group I) to 18 pts with infra-His induced
AV-block(Group II). During a mean period of 5.4 years, a progression to
higher degree AV block was higher in Group II than in Group I(78% versus
7%, p<0,001). After prophylactic pacing, a prognosis of pts in Group II
depended of severity of underlying heart disease. Simptomatic pts with
chronic BBB and infra-His AV block induced by AP had absolute indication
for cardiac pacing.

allograftshave been controlled by 118 right ventricular
endomyocardialprocedures, yielding 515 endomyocardial (4.4 per
biopsy)specimens for histologic examination. Initially, rejection wasgraded
according to modified Billingham's criteria, and in
April 1991 "ISTH Standardized Grading System" was accepted.
Evidence of mild or moderate allograft rejection was found inendomyocardial
specimens from 75 biopsies (63.5%). Twentymoderate rejection episodes (all
without hemodynamic compromise)were successfully treated with pulse IV
methylprednisolone (1 gdaily fpr 3 days), followed by prednisone (100 mg
daily for 2days), followed by tapering to 5 mg daily over 2 weeks.
Follow-upbiopsies were performed 1 week after institution of therapy and
1week after corticosteroid tapering.
There were 6 (5.1%) inadequate biopsy procedures with 19 (3.7%)"bad
samples". Previous biopsy site changes were evident in 57(11.1%) biopsy
specimens, and 15 (2.9%) specimens showedendocardial infiltration of
mononuclear cells (Quiltyalteration). Entirely normal endomyocardium was
apparent inspecimens from 37 (31.3%) biopses.

Summary: Early diagnosis and treatment of aortic dissection (AD) is
of essential importance. The mortality in non-treated patients (pts) is
1-3% per hour durin the first 24-48 hours. Among 3890 consecutiv autopsies
(rate 36%) from jan. 1987.-feb. 1994., AD was found in 24 cases. The lengh
of hospital stay, department(dept) at which death occurred, diagnostic
procedures, clinical diagnosis and type of dissection(Stanford
classification), were analysed to obtain the clinicopathologic concordance.
There were 13 males (mean age 61.2 years) and 11 females (mean age 70.1
years), with hospital stay of 45 minutes - 14 days. At the coronary care
unit deceased 12pts, at the neurology dept 3, at the intensiv care unit 3,
at the surgery dept 1, and 5pts at other depts. Type A dissection was
recorded in 21 cases and type B in only 3 cases. The diagnosis of AD was
clinically established in 7pts, suspected in 8, while in 9pts the
diagnostic procedures failed to demonstrate AD(the misdiagnoses were:
pulmonary thromboembolism, acute myocardial infarction and stroke).
Transthoracic echocardiography was performed in 6 cases
(4 confirmed AD, 1 suspected and 1 misdiagnosed); CT scan in 5 cases (3
confirmed AD, 1 misdiagnosed and in 1 case only the brain CT scan was
performed), aortography in 2 cases (both confirmed AD). Despite all
technical advances, because of the diverse clinical manifestationes of AD,
in present series the clinically correct diagnosis, suspected diagnosis and
misdiagnosis were evident in about one third of cases respectively.

Summary: A 63 year old with woman was admitted because of
progressive fatigue, dyspnea and peripheral edema. On admission physical
examination revealed elevated jugular venous pulse, holosystolic murmur and
diastolic rumble at the left lower sternal border with positiv Carvallo's
sign, and protodiastolid decresendo murmur along the left upper sternal
border. Noninvasive (2-D, color Doppler echocardiography,CT) and invasive
studies(right and left catheterization and ventriculography, aortography,
cavography) demodstrated un large unruptured aneurysm of the noncoronary
sinus of Valsalva that straddled the right atrium(that assumed sickle like
shape) and tricuspid valve causing tricuspid stenosis and insufficiency.
The coronary Sinuses of Valsalva were also slightly dilated and moderate
aortic insuffiency was present. Pulmonary capillary and artery pressures
were normal; cardiac index was markedly reduced (1.3 l/min/m2), right
atrial pressure tracings showed "W" contour. The aneurysm was resected and
aortic root replacement with composit graft was successfully done. Residual
tricuspid insufficiency was assesed as mild, and valve reconstruction was
not necessary. Postoperativ course was uneventful and one and half year
after the procedure the patient is doing well.

Summary: Gallopamil is calcium antagonist directly influencing tonus
of coronary arteries, myocardial contractility and adrenergic transmission
and it indirectly diminishes myocardial necessity for oxygen through
decrease of perifery resistence. Aim of the trial was to establish and
prophylactic and therapeutical action of gallopamil in patients with stable
angina pectoris. Evaluation was effected by registration of number of
attacks and number of consumed nitroglycerin lingualet tablets and strain
at exercise test. Multicentric double-blind trial with double placebo was
carried out on 38 patients. The trial lasted 8 weeks. Each patient recived
total daily 150mg gallopamil, that is 30mg of nifedipin. Both preparations
caused significant reduction of systolic and dyastolis pressure in relation
to placebo period. Galopamil significantly reduced frequency in relation
to placebo period and in relation to nifedipin. Number of attacks of angina
pectoris and nitroglycerin consumption was significantly lower in the
therapy with both preparations (p<0.001) there were no difference among
them. Headache appeeared more frequently in the use of nifedipin (p<0.05).
Duration of exercise test was longer in use of gallopamil in relation to
placebo period (p<0.001) and the same in relation to nifedipin (p<0.001).
